Yupper, that's exactly the direction in which I am headed. Ron said he knew his stuff and we have the dyno sheets to prove it. Did we ever thank you , Ron??  |

Hey Steve, no thanks needed.....just a few burnout pics and a big ass smile is enough I'd say that combo is working pretty darned good. Compare the torque curves between the two builds; at 3300 the mp cam is taking a nosedive while the Comp is building steam. By 3700rpm the Comp grind is making 140 ftlbs of additional torque over the MP590.....that is freaking HUGE ! I bet Mike notices a difference when he gets her up 'n' running....his tires sure will !  Comparing the before and after numbers i'd have to say the tweaking was a big step in the right direction. More power everywhere and vastly improved idle quality/street manners. I'm anxious to hear how Mike likes it.  Ron Ps. Yours is next !  |

Since this combo has been brought back to life in other peoples builds I want to say this. I have been along for some rides and driven VegasMike's Charger. I can tell you IT KICKS ASS..... This motor is all power and pull from the first spark. I know Mike is very happy with it, even if he does bring up building a blower motor at least once a month...  Summer is damn hot in Vegas and the Charger doesn't get out much when the ambient temp is much over 100*, but fall is coming and Mike has got some new stickies for the beast.. I figure the next major kink will be the 8.75 rear end. My money is on a new Dana by X-Mas... What do you think Ron?? |

Here are some Pics of Mike's car that were sent to me. The Charger is fresh from the paintshop and has a killer stance....and now the drivetrain to back up the attitude. Running hard and looking good doing it....doesn't get much better than that ! Ron [/quote what size wheels and tyres?? |

the tires are 295/50 bf goodrich the rims are 15/10 4 1/4 backspace no rubbing what so ever,,even with big al in the backseat giving me traction ..the tire does not stick out past the quarter,I wouldn't want to be called pinchey.....thinking about going to mt's as the bf tire's are a pretty hard compound ........the heat here is unbarable.still doing research of who's running what and why......but they look fresh as hell on the car...... |

That was the end of a great day. It was day 3 of the 2007 MATS and we were on our way home. The Charger ran great and I got to drive a buddies 68' GTX home from the show. I took that pic. through the windshield doing about 65 on the highway. Good times...  |
