You are a funny guy.
I believe its on account of my tuning skills.HaH! I can be funny too.
No , I believe I dodged the bullet. Back in 97, when the body was in the bodyshop, I had 2 years to do the research. Like said nobody was talking Dcrs.
I just went with my gut and back engineering known magazine combos. Arrived at 9/1 Dcr as safe with al heads. I arbitrarily bumped it to 9.2,for my elevation(750), expecting ramifications. By the time the engine and body met,everybody was worried about the new oxygenated gas.Well I could hardly wait for it to get here. I knew that the alchohol burned cleaner, and was more detonation resistant. About that same time, or a little earlier,they switched the octane ratings.So by the time the car was registered as roadworthy, it was september/99. I set the timing to 36*, and much to my surprise,had built a monster.
I drove it til Oct 10th and parked it for the winter.Tuning began the following spring(2000).And lasted for 4 years.

I read the .59, but didnt clue in.
The Mopar auto-trannys suffer from large rpm drops too,especially the low gear ones. But a higher stall TC is a good work-round. Its tougher when the clutch dont slip.
If I was going auto-o/d, Id go GM. They make it so easy now.
