I like the paint scheme. not a big fan of the hood tho. unless the 6 "windows" are butterfly valves for the supercharger intake. and you would think they would have done something a little more innovative with the 2 gauges on the center of the dash. just kinda stands out ugly to me.

if you guys notice the front bumper and hood are more like a 71 road runner than a challenger....love the purple ....not a fan of the SC on a 5.7...from what knowledge i have from being a forumer on lx forums is that stroker +forged internals is the best and most reliable way to gain power...then if you arent satisfied you can safely use FI

you can run mild boost with stock internals. forged is the best way to go for FI or nitrous or any serious power levels. you dont need to stroke it, but but it never hurts.
