    Which for we talking about? Z, or Talk?

    Either way, I am glad you found your way here and I hope you can bring some of the better members from the "other forum" here to.

    I'm pretty sure he is talking about the red forum.

    Basically for the same reason I stopped going there.
    Very aggressive vendor pushing his products to the point of being tedious.
    Quickly brings a lot of threads to an end.

    enough about that other forum :happy175: We have seen your future plans, but are there any mods you've already done worth noting?

    Nah, I haven't done anything to it yet. The original Pirelli tires are just about down to the wear bars at 17k miles. About 6 months ago, I changed jobs and that transition has been consuming most of my spare time. So....tires will be the first order of business. I need to get some 10.5" Hellcat reps for the back so I can go with 315's there and match my existing forged wheels that came with the dynamics package. Then I've got to decide if I want to deal with stroking the engine or just paying someone else to do it. I'll probably do the supercharger myself since that's not particularly hard. I also don't like the 2 piece drive shaft. So that'll go and get replaced by a single aluminum shaft. So much to do. Hoping to get the output to approximately 700hp at the crank by the time I'm done. I'll take lots of pictures. :)

    Best,

    are you worried about the transmission at that HP? And 700 at the crank will put you a little over 600 at the wheels right?

    LOVE The staggerred look on these cars with 315's on the rear.

    If I was going to race the car, I'd be very worried. It's just going to be my daily driver and get the occasional highway romp. If I end up breaking it, I'll get the 8HP70 rebuilt a bit more stout or see what's involved to upgrade to the 8HP90 that's in the Hellcats.

    Edit: Yes, I'm looking for 600-620hp at the wheels.

    Best,
