I got the SCer on around 2PM today.... started it, checked for leaks,etc....
and took it out for its first run, over to my freinds house to drink a few
beers and stuff with the wives to see thier wedding photos.... THIS THING IS
AMAZING. There is not a bit of difference from idle to 2000 RPMs, but after
that this thing comes on strong, and pulls like a scolded dog from 2500
on.... If it doesnt shave off at least 1-1.2 sec of the quarter it will
be crazy, it pulls that hard. It sounds insane too, even with the super
quiet. I cannot go WOT yet becuase I think the Mopar PCM is adding to much
timing at that point and giving me a fair amount of detonation, but I will
solve that when I get the Crane on this week or the next. I have a nice
shiny Summit battery box to put the battery in the bed, and will be getting
some nice distribution boxes to land all the wires. It was $2950, to the
door well spent........ Later this winter the hood will be modified to use
as the intake, and I will have some custom AC lines made to make room for
that box. Budnik Magnum wheels this fall, and I will be searching for a
9-1/4 RT rear with disc brakes as well... after this motor goes, it will be
time for a 408, or a 360, depends on how crazy I really think I need to
go.... I didnt get any of the normal boost hick-ups that some trucks get
when they freak out over seeing the boost... all in all, after all the cuts,
banged knuckles and harsh language, Im pretty damn happy.
