nop I have the 6.1 I was just playing with the 392 cuse I had them to see if I wanted to do a 6.1 set.

how far are you from KC my local speed shop has a chassis dyno and they have tuned several of the aem systems around here including my car. They do great work. sorry I dont know anyone with a 6.4 around me.

Are you haveing challenges or just looking for a better tune. I still may be able to help.  :bigsmile:
No problems, other than it takes a while to start but I am getting to the phase of actually being able to drive the car want to have a good tune. Matt Delaney is going to send me the calibration from his 6.4 challenger. He did tell me that I might want to change to the mopar fuel rail so that I can adjust the pressure. he said that in his latest tune he increased the fuel pressure by 4lbs - that would be 62lbs of pressure as the vette regulator is a constant 58. What did you run for a regulator? Love the rubber bumpers by the way

Ya Mopar is kind of proud of their rails I am using an Aeromotive regulator (black) they have red and red and black also (I also didn’t like the blue ones From Mopar) I have the fuel rails from them I thinking I have 300 in the setup. I haven’t used the rails yet I am waiting to see if I change to larger injectors before I install them.

Are you running o2 sensors?

I am not running O2 sensors as the crate engines runs an open loop. I do have bungs in my header to screw them in in case I want to tune it. Do you know what pressure you have to the injectors?

I found a noticeable difference when turning the o2 feedback on with the 392 crate! I would recommend it as you can't tune for every situation.

Are you running a  392 or have you tuned them? If so, shoot me a pm, would love to ask some questions.

I have installed one and am still tuning, so go ahead I might be able to help, but have a different intake and throttle body on the 392.

 :roflsmiley:

In some of the pics you can see that the inner wheelwells are body color.  A couple of the last pics that were posted look like you blacked out the wheelwells.  Is it just the angle that the pic was taken or did you black out the wheelwells?

Scott,

what headlamps did you use ? I am thinking on putting these in my 71 Cuda, Are they wired with a relay? I read in another post you missed the wayne county shop. Is this your old hauler?
How did the parts work out? thanks again, Car looks awesome.
