SaaaWeeeet! Sounds really good. You are using a stock cam aren't you? How does it run with the ModMan?
Good Job!
Yep, stock cam for now. Down the road I really want to toss in an Inertia SRT Max rumbler cam. I saw the video on their website with the Charger that has one and I'm hooked, I have to have that lump for my car, lol. I'm still tracking down issues with the tuning, but it's been getting better.
So far I've found three things that all caused the same symptom. I had a bog and stutter at full throttle hits for a while now. First I figured the restrictive little air filter I had because of hood clearance was the issue, and it did run better without it, but still off. Next I borrowed the MAP sensor from my parents 5.7 Ram and that helped out too. Just the other day I cranked the car up and the fuel line was spraying all over the intake. Luckily it was still cold, but I found out one of my fuel lines had gotten rock hard and cracked, so now with that replaced the car runs better still. I think it had been cracked for a while now and leaking air or something because it threw off the idle mixture screws when I put the new hose on. It takes full throttle in first with no problems now, but still just a little hesitation in the other gears. Found a shop in town with a chassis dyno that does tuning per hour charge, so I'll probably drop by there for an hour or so when I get some extra money and see if I can't track it down.
It's a blast to drive around town and has plenty of power on the highway, but I still feel like it's leaving something on the table. I would have thought a 3200 pound car with 350-400 hp would be harder on the tires, but so far they've been hooking up pretty good. The butt dyno says the car likes 3/4 throttle more than full, so I think the tuning is probably off or I can dump some more timing in it since the advance doesn't pull all the way off at partial throttle.
