  Glad you sent me my own personal email about this

Car looks great.  A unique way of detailing the undercarriage

[firefighter3931]

Those are some worthwhile improvements that will pay huge dividends in the performance & handling area. 

I'm sure you'll be quite pleased with the improved street manners and low end throttle response using that VooDoo 303 cam....it's a winner.

Nice work Ron!

[Big Sugar]

Well on my way, Motor back on the K with the tranny, painted up ready to go , DR Diff Disc setup installed out back Just finishing a little under hood detail and then hopefully the  headers come back next week with a fresh Ceramic black coating. So we can put it all back. then a little more firewall soundproofing and we'll be all wrapped up for the end of May....

Well ...After a busy 7 week stint I finally got the Charger out for a rip tonite, And Let me say even though it was a aprehensive rip, and I needed to go easy on all the loose stuff banging in my interior , It was like a new ride.
Firstly the New Suspension the "K" and Chassis stiffening WOW very nice ! That was nice ! Even just turning the car around in a 3 point turn felt great.
My Manual Brakes , 12.75 Viper fronts and Dr Diff 10.7' Discs out back were still a little soft but I can feel the potential altrady even thought they havn't seated as of yet....
Motor...Very nice Cam pulls a lot more vacuum 14" at 900 rpm in park. and the car rev's nicely . I cant wait to stomp on the loud pedel and really hear it open up.
Got my Front spoiler on , Great fit and nice addition to the look.
