Thanks guys, I had to think this one out, the throttle cable & transmission throttle pressure control cable, air filters, the ram tubes will be silver when done., will paint my brackets black.I have surgery tomorrow so progress will stop for awhile.

Looks good.  I was wondering about air filtering.

Don't work on the Charger after surgery they said, I can't help it lol 😁 injectors are now bolted on & starting to wire it all up.

Wow Charlie, surgery and this heat.  Hats off to you!  Car is going to look even more deadly with those stacks.

Looks awesome, I really like the brushed aluminum look on those stacks!

I was out of town - so not checking in.  It looks great.

Straight up wicked!

Been doing some tuning, if you EVER go with EFI get the Dash/tuner, hand held ECT,,,,, the one I need is only$ 800.00 YEEHAAAA , I also had to shorten the ram tubes, it was VERY hard to drive & see LMBO,, I will now use the 3rd & 4th intake pulse for power, total runner is now 17" long.

How uniform do you think that is across all the ports?  Looking at the earlier pictures, it must be really close! Still not going to fit under your old hood is it?

What happened to the gold stacks???!!! 

Looks cleaner with the shorter stacks    Will be easier to make some sort of hood scoop with them lower now too. Can't wait to see it all buttoned up and tuned.

I officially hate my hood now,a lot of hindsight AFTER the hole was cut, BUT I really had no choice. I'll get use to it maybe ,,,.to me it looks better without a hood.

Tuning is going ok, the Holley HP is really not the correct choice for a Hilborn set up even though that is what they sell with the injector assy, it only has 1 o2 sensor to tune the ECU, it really should have at LEAST a bank one & bank two base fuel map that the ecu runs on. when the engine heats up all those throttle blades move & changes the calibration, I hooked up my Innovate wideband through a channel on the Holley ecu so I can at least datalog both o2's side by side & can manually tune the right bank to match the left bank Holley ECU wideband. wide open throttle is not a problem, its all the very light throttle low rpm areas that are tough to tune with 8 throttles & one o2 LOL. it idles like a stock cam 440 hp, can run 1500 rpms in overdrive & lock up the converter,,,, smooth as glass. the Dominator Holley ECU has two o2 sensors but you can only pick left or right or average of the 2 sensors for the ECU to tune off of.
Doing some Data logging, its only 103deg, Love my A/C

Gets more interesting (and I get more impressed) as I read.  The pictures are great too.

Thanks for posting.

I did some more cutting, I can live with this for now.

Sounds great going down the highway!  Latest iteration isn't terrible imo.  The stacks have to have the clearance after all...If there was a flat, glass hood you could compare it.  Someone good with fiberglass could probably get your cowl back together pretty good.

This idea wouldn't look good imo, but would be unique...You could try to form some lexan to match the cowl's profile.  Just tapered on the sides and then a u-shaped connection piece on the top.  Would cover the top of the stacks and give you some visibility.  You could use dzus fasteners or something similar to pull it off for shows.
