alright. so i got in the mail today... my custom logo that i had done from a guy on ebay.... i had to take messurements of it for him to fit my grille as he only had srt ones forsale on ebay... anyway. this is what i ended up with. i like it alot. i am not a fan of paying 40 dollars for a dodge logo anyway ( the only thing left that says dodge on the car is the steering wheel emblem)

anyway. a cell phone pic.

SEXY!. 304Hp stable and efficient for a dd is plenty quick enough i say! However, my understanding of MS is lacking to say the least but, from what I understand is does allow you to have multiple tunes or "profiles" correct? if so, 304Hp DD 375-400Hp simple AGGRESSION down the road

i technicaly could have just turned the boost up to 20psi or so. my fuel system can handle it with ease. but anything past that i am starting to stretch the 750cc injectors...

304 is not a TON of power a good street driven amount though..... but the overall power can be much much higher later down the road. :twisted:

Somehow the sound of wastegate atmospheric dump and tire squeal coming in at the same time is the sweetest sound known to man.

It's basically a screen door. Pretty much for show only. Shows all the engine bay in all it's glory even when closed but pretty much useless in the rain or snow.

honestly it is perforated stainless steal, only about twenty were ever made. the hood is very functionable... lol, my engine has never ran cooler on the highway. :lol:

and d-railded. i was shocked about the rain though. when i picked it up we had to drive home for about two hrs. and we got into some really REALLY heavy rain, if the car is in motion the engine BARELY gets wet.. i am talking about three drops of water on the injector cover on the 05. when we stopped for dinner about twenty min out from home. when the car was stopped in the lot. thats when the engine did get wet. but the wholes are so small the water accually rolls over the holes... sounds crazy but is 100 percent true. lol even when washing the car if you spray the water (like out of a hose and no nozzle on the hose) the water will beed up over the holes and not penitrate. till you either open the hood and close it, or run a towel over it.

/ of novel about the grip hood. :rofl:

thump3r screen name, or ash pratt had it for his compound turbo setup he is doing, but his manifold would not clear it. we had something worked out since jan. it took him some time to build his manifold then once it did not fit. he sold it to me. :) and i just got it a few months back. i have been looking for almost five years for one. . .

i am running a mopar 6hp cam. the cam is alittle larger than a rt cam, almost a crane 12. the crane 14 should kick in when my turbo does to make the car pull even harder. :)
