Day one of my three day week end. Put the cuda on jackstands and started testing the trans. Had a few headscratching moments, trying to get the software and hardware on the same page as my brain. It now shifts though the gears on the stands at least! Got a whole bunch of details to figure out. I droving it out of the garage on its own power and took a few pics but the sun was all ready down. It's not ready for the street yet but got two days left. The Willwood brakes are noisy as heck! Hoping they will stop screahing once they get bedded in.

Absolutely awesome. I like the pics in the sun. It really looks great!
I need to go back and read your build for those wheels sizes again.

Love it!

345/30/19 rear on a 19x12
275/30/18 front on a 18x9.5
( Viper tires )
The back space is good for referance only just because I cut up the car so much. but its 6" front and 8" rear.
Im in prosess of getting a set of narrower hubs from willwood to help with the tire rubbing the fender. Darn lowered cars. As every one here keeps talking about stuffing a 275 in the front is VERY tight!
Some things are worth the work  ::)

Day 2,

I discovered a P/S seep. The bummer with hiding all the lines is its all lot harder to fix them. I needed to pull the steering shaft anyway to straighten the wheel.  So got that done and checked all the suspension just to be sure it was tight. Eye balled the alignment and set the tow. Realized I still have a brake seep at one on the rear lines I think I'll have to remake the line but later. Time for a test drive and see if the tranny will shift. If you've been following my build you'll remember all the trans problems with the factory SRT-8 NAG-1 transmission.  I'm using a PCS controller and did all my own set up theres a lot of questions.
Got my dad to ride shotgun and watch the data. My wife did a video of the road test.

You can see the video here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T32LGfmXT7A
theres other videos on you tube as well just search Twisted Fish Cuda. Their under my wifes ID MoparRox

What a rush. It was a blast to drive even if it was just up the street and back. It shifted well and ran great. incredible amounts of torque. I'm running the FAST engine computer and ran a log during the drive so I can see how good or bad it actually ran ha ha. Need to tweak all the shift points I'm sure but it didn't blow up. Think about what would happen it you engaged the wrong clutch at speed. I didn't really think about it until we got back but it drove strait and other then the brake noise at low speed it no bad noises.

Day three will be less exciting. I'll go over the data. I'd like to get the side glass in but got to do chores some time.

The You Tube is great! Looks and sounds awesome. Is that the stock cam in the 6.1 or did you "build" the motor? It sounds like it has a nice lope to it.

Thanks for all the updates!
