Awesome accomplishment! How do you like the Efi Source efi?

Awesome, man! I watched most of it live and remember seeing you make several passes... Nice car! (it's a white fastback, correct???)

 

[mikedevore]

Dang kept watching and got sick of not seeing any Mopars so miised ya

 

[Tony Fields]

Congrats!

 

[72BBSwinger]

Are your heads still stock?

 

[mcat]

Heads are completely stock. And injectors are at 97% duty rate. I am still real soft on the timing...24* the 87-89 octane pinged the knock sensors pretty good with much more. I have about 11.2-1 comp.

 

[Rat Patrol]

Good going!

 

[4speeds4me]

Did you track mileage as well?

 

[Cevidicus]

Well done. It seems to have been worth all the hassle.

 

[mcat]

Did you track mileage as well?

I did not . Had a gas tank leak, could only fill halfway. So didnt attempt to track

 

[4speeds4me]

Yeah, that'd skew the numbers some!lol

 

[72BBSwinger]

So the knock sensors are utilized? That is sweet!

Actually, the mopars had a pretty good showing. An A-body Valiant took first place overall in the daily driver class and there were several other mopars that finished in the top 32.

Mcat, what was your overall average E.T. for the week?

 

[mcat]

yes... you can do individual cylinder timing with them . 1 and 8 would knock way before the rest on mine

 

[Black 69 Dart]

That's awesome, any pics or story's you can post. I really want to do drag week.

mcat, do you have a build thread anywhere here? What G3 are you running, 5.7 or 6.1? If 5.7, I assume you're running Eagle heads, or Apache? Would love to see/read more about your car...

 

[Redtruck-VA]

I want to install a 727 in my 03 hemi Ram and would like to see details on how you set your up. Starter location? Did you use a spacer? How did you handle the TV cable?
Great build.
Thanks,

 

[Abodybomber]

Congratulations!

Thanks,

no spacer. but a hemi/727 specific flex plate is needed. i used a cable driven throttle body so i just modified it to except a kick down cable

Thanks, I'm using a FBW TB and saw where they connected the TV cable to the 03 remote APPS to have both TB electrical output and mechanical motion. Did you use a special starter and which side of the engine did you mount it?

Thanks,

If you're using a 727, then the starter will be on the Driver's side. I believe you need to use the 5.2/5.9 Magnum starter...

Thanks for the information. I was just told that a manual trans starter will work. I haven't researched it yet to determine how the manual starter differs from the auto trans starter.
