  1. Sounds to me like it's the voltage correction table in the haltech tune, along with an inconsisent alt. output. Injectors do different things with different voltages feeding them. Haltech varies the pulswidth accordingly as other power draws happen. I would definitly do the alternator and then see how it behaves. If problems persist we will modify your tune. Get a datalog of when the problem occurs and i should be able to figure it out. ~Lee
  2. Joe, explain the issues with hesitation and stalling. Is there any way you can e-mail me the tune thats in the car now? I will look it over and maybe we will try a few things. How come they stopped tuning at 18psi? I know theres more power hiding in there;) What did torque numbers look like?
  3. Congratulations to us both! I too just started work a few weeks ago at a performance shop called Modern Muscle Performance in Martinsville, VA. We deal with all the new Mopars with Hemi's. My dream job finally came 2 hours away from my home, which i am in the process of moving my stuff and relocating. I am soo excited about this, still can't beleive it. We have a 5-axis cnc for porting heads ect, CNC lathe, mill, a dyno... you name it! The owner has been doing this on his own for almost a year getting backed up because he lost his help and been waiting for the right guy to help him run it while he does the full time job of taking phone calls. Got a 70 challenger mod/resto/build with a new 6.4L Hemi comming up soon and also a 2011 Challenger for Mopar Muscle Magazine getting engine work done in about a month. Can't wait! I hope it works out for us and I imagine you love doing this stuff as much as i do! Good Luck,
  4. www.boostedautodesign.com we have a few different styles. All you need is a ecu. They are as easy to install as it gets. Use e-mail link there to contact. ~Lee
  5. No other cars compare to the aggressive look of the conquest. They got the meanest look from no matter what angle. My favorite is through a rear view mirror. So intimidating... maybe that's why it seems EVERYBODY i get behind wants to slow down below the speed limit. am i the only one who has this problem? Truth is, i owe this car alot for teaching me so much about mechanics/ and all the stuff i do. If my dad hadn't of giving it to me when i was 13 i wouldn't be the same person today. Over 10 years later i still have the same car, we been through alot........ it must be love
  6. Don't forget the steel brackets under the exhaust manifold to remove the head,and have fun with unbolting the turbo Went through this a while back. Guy i bought it from said it was the head gasket"bone stock engine with a crappy homemade boost controller", turned out being 3 broken ringlands AND, BHG. Was going to be a simple head gasket fix and turned out to be a full out engine build with megasquirt and custom intake. My MKIII still under construction http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/193/1001841v.jpg http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/7581/1001840d.jpg http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/3664/1002102i.jpg Now finished with bigger turbo and ex. WG Yes i have lots of fun with the 7m, there very powerful platforms with little modification I have a spare that is going into a 280z this winter...
  7. The bottom ends are very stout in those cars. 300-350 would be a safe assumption. I think you really have to struggle to make more power than that with the L28. If you are trying to make more power than stock, megasquirt or some sort of tunable ecu is a must

  9. Its well below the add mark when cold. I checked this once, It may return to the pan a little faster once the oil gets hot, but i still want to think there is at least as quart somewhere else other than the pan at all times.
  10. Progress so far. Custom intake will keep throttle body in stock location so no need to relocate battery or hack into radiator support for piping. Fabricated oil pan from .090" 6061 aluminum will keep oil in the sump. Fidanza flywheel, centerforce 6-puck clutch for grip. Once intake is finished, plumbing fuel/oil system and wiring of Haltech ecu begins. More updates coming soon.

  12. Here some pictures, as requested. No considerable warping of the pan, may be off - .065" over entire length. Nothing mounting can't take care of. It is a trick, and sequence to welding things like this to reduce warping. If your not careful it will trn into a see-saw real quick so it take alot of experience to counter-act. And yes, a AN fitting can be welded for turbo drain for an extra $20 http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/9029/panbottom.jpg http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/8687/panfront.jpg http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/5724/panside.jpg
  13. Built from 6061 Aluminum, TIG welded. Holds 1 qt over stock. Re-designed sump area to keep oil where its supposed to be. Should be able to install with-out removing the engine. Retains stock ground clearance, and dipsitck. About time one of these is available for our cars! $300 + shipping. I will be building more of these for those who are interested. http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/3473/0000559d.jpg
  14. The media is stainless steel, the same as the high dollar name brand units cost. No baffle needed, the inlet end "valve cover" extrudes to the center giving the whole length of cartridge to get filtered. I build different variations of this all the time for different cars and they works great.
  15. This is a custom aluminum air/oil separator that will bolt on directly to replace the old gunked up one. Has slightly larger hose connections that match the valve cover port and larger suction side to pull more volume out of the engine. Packed with the best separating media to keep oil out of your intake. We have a few of these available. $50 + shipping http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3186/catchcan.jpg
