initial tune was not good. it is a 5.7 truck, man. tranny controller. It actually ran rich, since it was adding fuel for 5.7 injectors. Yes, Mike has my power turned down until I installed wideband o2. less timing, lower rev limiter, etc.
It can be tuned for any occasion.

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

tuning process.
You will have an OBD port, just like a new car. Plug in your tuner, request a data log with specific parameters. Go for a drive, mixing stop/start, hard accel, etc. Then save the file. Email to Mike. He looks at data. Then sends back a new program to load into car. Work really neat.
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.

Mike.
