Hey, what were your ET's in the 1/4 mile. I know they probably werent spectacular due to the low profile tires and suspension setup, but I am really curious.

autodynamics

just thought i would share..... today its like 30 degrees here cold but dry and sunny. i had a buddy over the house and took him for a ride in the charger.... i let her warm up a bit then a mile or two down the road. i got a clearing. I hammered the throttle and holy crap.... its the fastest its ever been it was so powerful explosive with the power and shifted perfect and .......speechless. it was the best ride i ever has thus far in the car. it was by far the most impressive it ever felt to me. wish i had it on video.... bummer just thought i share.... sorry for the ego stroke.. but when she feels good you gotta speak!!!  Pete

also fyi im adding in the rad support this week its practicly done... i will post some pics but there not the best. we cut the existing rad support out welded the new one in and welded the old one back over the new rad support looks kick ass.... next will be changing rear brake pads, and oil change...

autodynamics

more...also im gonna flip the sway bar upside down.. so the curve is up. will post pics when i get them

69chargerboy

Pete, I read the article... It was good, but I think your Charger is of enough caliber to be the cover car for the magazine. Or at least a mention on the cover.... :Twocents:

yeah i agree. they told me it was too dark for the cover.. i would of like to see a small pic...ahh what the hell its out of my hands anyways..thanks for the compliment

autodynamics

its been  while since i have posted... but ive done a few updates to the car...this summer has been real busy so ive been tied up with other projects but here goes with some updates...i finally got my paddle shifters to work perfect...i now have them working in whats called simple manual which mean the paddle shifters are always on but not working until there  activated. really cool my trans also at this point shifts better than ever as i re-wrote the program. i couldnt be happier... next was the shifter lens i like detail subtle detail. the factor  P R N D 2 1 wasnt cutting anymore for me so i made a new one up...here is a pic of it.  ,,
next i ordered new strut bars from the front end from alterkation, new big tie rod ends from firm feel, and fast ratio pitman/ idler arm from them as well. i also ordered new drop spindles but those might have an issue as of now.. so im still doing some homework on them..i want to eventually change my bear brakes to 6 piston baer set up. but waiting for some specs on them. allot ive done will never be seen after almost 4 years the car still needs fine tuning... ive updated my fuse block, added a new one rewired my electric fans changed my return line on my power steering reservior , used hose seperators that are billet to route the hydroboost lines... i also finally got around to finishing my a/c i bought the kit and soon i will begin adding that in... i will post pics when im doing that. this week im going to adjust my power windows. my passenger side is slower than my drivers so that needs some love...
