Generally I've heard people recommend steel for street cars and aluminum for racing. You can drive an aluminum flywheel on the street, but can make taking off and clutch stuff a little trickier since it doesn't have the same inertia.

I ran an 833 behind my 5.7 when I first installed it. I believe I had to trim the input shaft down something like 1/2-5/8", but otherwise it was basically a bolt in setup. I ran it with TTI headers as well, but I think I had to do some modification of my Z bar linkage. I'm not sure I ever had...

The service manual crossed my mind as well, though I tried checking in the manual for my Viper and actually didn't find that much there (they use similar enough sensors at least, so figured it might give me a starting point). I did find a little info in there for the MAP sensor at least, though...

I guess I should have specified the actual 5.7 Hemi sensors for a 2006 vintage engine, not necessarily the old school ones, though maybe they aren't all that different. I tried the tee thing with what I have, but I don't necessarily have a good resolution gauge to use as a reference for what the...

Well, against all odds this seem to be one of the few times things just sort of "worked" for me. I was all ready to do a bunch of logging and testing and whatnot to try to figure things out and I pretty much just plugged everything in and it seems like it was good with the nearly default...

As the title suggests, does anyone have charts for the sensor ranges and matching output voltages for things like the MAP and oil pressure sensors? I can't believe it's this hard to find that info, but I'm not having much luck so far. I was hoping I could pull it off of a datasheet from...

I'm not sure what it is about mine. Granted my car also sits outside all the time, albeit under a cover, but the coating has not held up well for me at all.

I have tried some decel fuel cut in the past, but don't recall whether I'm running it now or not. The MS help tips actually suggest against it on a manual car, though I believe that's mostly just because of the "on/off" feeling you can get when you get back on the throttle being jarring to...

You know, one joke I've always had with my car since the day I bought it was that no matter what I do, it gets 20 mpg, period. I had a 318 with a 4 speed and low 3.something gears (I think, don't recall what was actually in the rear end when I bought it) and it got 20 mpg on the highway...

I was in a similar boat with money at the time when I did my 5.7 swap something like 10+ years ago now. Firstly I was a kid in grad school at the time, so I didn't really have cash to do a full fuel system upgrade to high pressure the way I'd want to do it (in tank pump). Secondly, a lot of the...

Yeah, I started doing a little bit of digging and reading and watching videos yesterday, though there is plenty more to do. I have my WOT timing set reasonably conservative still at only 20 degrees at the very top end and 21 a bit before that. It certainly feels spunky enough, but after...

As the title suggests, anyone out there running a Megasquirt setup with the internal knock module? Finally found someone making a drop in replacement since DIYAutotune has been out of stock on them for the past 2+ years and took the chance on them. Will be a while before they show up, but I've...

I did a little more digging on what I used before as well as putting my cluster back together this morning. The terminals I used before were Deutsch size 12 contacts designed for 0.093" pins. They worked really nicely because they have a small spring inside them, so they slip over fairly...

For what it's worth, at least in pictures the Molex stuff isn't even really remotely "original", but based on the design I think they will work okay. The original ones almost remind me more of the typical barrel type connector you can get at any hardware store (the kind with red/blue/yellow...

Okay, did a little more digging and found some threads that reference Molex 0.093 connectors as well. Looks like I can get a set from Amazon cheap enough to try them at least. Will check out Connector World as well, thanks!
