the wiring is hotwire auto.com, and they flash a computer from ram to run the motor. I am using autometer guages including speedo. It is the last guage to sort out.
was it a plug and play wiring setup using the old fuse block? and are you running the stock fuel injection system or the msd 6?

That car is an inspiration to me. My absolute favorite body style of all Mopars( I've got 3 myself!)If mine turned out 1/2 as nice, I'd be ecstatic.It's too bad if you are forced to sell, but after all it's only a car, and once you get past the rough spot, there will be others waiting for you.
Good luck, and I wish I could buy it!

Why so much tuning? You mentioned Hotwire doing the computer then a previous post with a Mike doing some tuning and now "the last round". Can you expand as to why?
Thanks

If I could sell a few of my other toys I would pick this one up in a minute - great job.

thanks for the "props". as for the last tuning, I installed a wide band o2, then smoked the trinity tuner in different car, got the tuner back, and having mike look at the full blown data to final tweak. This will raise rev limit, and fine tune A/F at all RPMs. Might even setup a street tune and a track tune.... possibilities are endless with this setup.
How well did it run on the initial tune from Hotwire? What have been the benefits of the additional tunes (MPG? obviously you mentioned the rev limiter, power increase?) thanks as I am doing the 6.1 with Hotwire and factory PCM using Intune.

exhaust is TTI from front to back.
2.5" or 3"? Also did you mean the tune that was on the computer before the initial re-flash to 6.1 specs or even after the first re-flash from hotwire?

exhaust is 2.5". First flash from hotwire did not work well. they may have made changes since then, they were very helpful and their harness was a true 4 wire hookup. Mike@ostdyno.com is the correct person to use for tuning...

Final questions as I appreciate hearing from someone who has been there done that. Do you think the 2.5" is adequate as I have been told that it is on the edge for this engine and especially if I plan to supercharge some day. Secondly, what was the process and cost for Mike's tuning if you don't mind sharing? Thanks

on the seats, It is major surgery on the floors. You have to remove the "humps" where the floor raises near the rocker. Remove adapters from new seats and bolt down. The rear seats are about 3" too narrow. I had to "build up" a filler using expanding foam wrapped in black interior carpet, and yes, the rear seats do fold down, so you can pass through to the trunk. I feel 2.5" TTI is sufficient. The motor is 370 cu in. Mikes tuning cost, I do not recall exactly. I pucrhased the diablo trinity from him, and that included some tunning. Just email him at mike@ostdyno.com thanks

Awesome build. I had to read it all again. I'd almost want to trade my 71 Sunroof GTX with a Hemi for this. Might be having the Sunroof up on the blocks for sale at Carlisle this year. Just saw my friends '12 SRT Challenger in white !! Beautiful. I tried trading it in for a NEW AAR Challenger , and have them install a turbo, but it was a no-go. Dang.

I am sure the seller is..very  !! However I wonder how the buyer might feel when they start looking around the "interweb" and sees how much less the car was advertised for.

As long as the seller got more than what he was asking six months ago, who cares? From the build pictures it looks like it was done top notch.
I'll have to check my DVR tonight.
