Good luck! Only 2 fire extinguishers, that's a good omen!

The guy that's doing the work is the bomb. We couldn't get finished and that's because he figured out what the last guy couldn't. Looking to get it fixed... teaser video, already at 500, not fully tuned...

Wow, does that sound good...like a Hellcat!
Being RWD, it will be interesting to hear how the trans shifts are.
I believe the AWD Whipple owners say they have issues with the 2-3? shift at WOT at times.

Awesome!!! Really interested to see what you end up with for numbers, but you've got a screamer of a rig!

Is this the RIPP kit?

Did you get a kinks worked out?

Thanks for asking... Most of them were fixed. Transmission has some minor nuances. With the new tune I'm at 533rwhp. I'll be posting a dyno sheet and videos later... been trying to enjoy a ride I've been without for almost 6months.

Ill be doing an editorial regarding my whole experience.

One of the things that makes this project even more interesting is the introduction of the Duranto SRT. When all is said and done you'll be putting out more power for what I assume will be $15,000 less than the SRT will cost. I realize there will be more to the SRT in terms of components and body parts but still I can see even more 5.7 D's being supercharged as they age a bit and are out of warranty.

I'd guess you'll make your power quicker as well, though would have to compare dyno sheets to know for sure.

I am hoping that the cost of me doing it all, per HP as I like to compare, will be more effective - but sadly due to my slew of problems that I had... Probably has made it cost more. We'll have to see.

The biggest limitation of my vehicle without a question is the transmission. That will be the first big upgrade I do once I'm caught up on the bills. I do feel like with the new tune, that my vehicle has way more power - it accelerates and burns rubber so easy now.

Observing the changes definitely have me calling into question the integrity of the dyno numbers that my original installer/tuner did - let alone the slew of problems caused.

Did you have to tune the truck when you put the headers on?

I had all the work done at once, and then tuned.
