spelling fixed pictures and story coming later. Going to dinner right now
Alright here we go
Our muffler guy brings in his brand new (1260 miles) Challenger RT and asks if we will do him a favor and put his NOS kit on for him (all his lifts are outside and it was below freezing). So the job gets handed off to me. Of course I am excited to get to not only install the kit but also to tear into a Chally at the same time. And I made a deal with my boss if I install the kit I get to test it, and he said yes. So I very carefully begin to tear the car apart and get all the hoses run and hooked up. Here are some pictures of my little adventure.
Bottle in the spare tire well
Missing back seat cushion and passenger seat back along with rear passenger side panel
Yep passenger seat is out too
Line running behind glove box, routed through the wiring harness pass-through
Feed line and fuel line being routed
Solenoid box hidden in the corner on the nice little bracket thingy Dodge so nicely provided
Jet hiding underneath the CAI tube
Tight fit
Tearing down the dash mounting the arming switch. It was mounted on that blank panel behind the blinker under the fuel gauge
Then I put it all back together. Sorry no pictures of the finished product and no videos or pictures of the test drive, I was alone. It was pretty quick and pulled quite well without the gas, then hit the gas and it really made some sweet noise and pulled noticeably better. I will try and get some finished product when he brings it back from LT headers, underdrive pulley, and computer tune. After those three things he plans on racing it alittle bit and then bringing it back for a new rear end, cam, and possibly upping the NOS shot. He currently has obviously a CAI, and high performance cats and a magnaflow X pipe dual exhaust.
After driving that thing around I need my new Camaro ASAP!! I may be slipping to the dark side ever so slightly. Even though it was an automatic and the 5.7 it was still a blast to drive.
