Re: Pete's Handy Work
AND...good luck seeing 400 rwhp at 10,000 feet amsl! I was amazed at the difference in seat of the pants between Denver @ 5280 (mile high) and Bailey where I lived at ~8500 amsl. But, take heart! its ALL RELATIVE! The % increase is more or less constant. So, the lower the elevation, the better the dyno readings.

Re: Pete's Handy Work
400RWHP is still a very respectable amount of power. The problem is everyone is so spoiled with the big #s put out by modern sports/super/hyper-cars. Dodge is one of the leading causes with the Hellcat (707HP), but you've got to admire how they've milked it for all it was worth and giving people what they want. "Who cares if it's a fat pig on a old chassis with skinny tires? It's got a supercharged Hemi with 707HP!"

Re: Pete's Handy Work
Well, Im sure the day will come when I will crave for more.... for now, this segment is done. Car started up really well, and to my surprise, idled perfectly.
I had a tiny fuel leak at the block where the lines meet the rail... a quick twist of the ratchet, all dry. Took her out for a few easy shakedown runs and was able to add the final quart of coolant in between. After lunch, I took her out of town and woke her up a bit. Overall the car feels similar power wise. What I did notice immediately is the throttle response is sharper than it was at around 3000 rpm and up. When hitting 6000 to 7000 rpm, it seemed to be able to get there easier and hold the power better than before....(if that makes sense).... The improvement is tangible and I'm happy with the results. Here she is all back together wearing a polished throttle body now... I got bored while she was apart waiting for things to get done + the paint was peeling off it... Thanks to Pete and all of you guys who helped me out answering questions and PM's.

The concern on my end is that I cannot find OEM Dana gears in 4.10. I'm not sure I trust another gear set that hasn't been tested and proven. If there is a quality set available, I'd be interested in the details. Regards, Steve Sent from my SM-G950U using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app |
