About this Mopar:

I have been working on this car for over 37 years, many new parts have been installed there have been repairs, newer paint, interior work and so on. Upgrades include a .430 inch Mopar cam in a rebuilt 318 original to the car, rebuilt 904 in 1985 with a street/strip shift kit, only 3 fluid and filter changes since rebuild. 323 gears changed in 1986 has duel exhaust with Hemi mufflers, new roof, interior in the year 1999 and 2000. Many NOS parts include, spark plug wires, spark plugs, choke, carberator, starter relay, water valve. Upgrades to the suspension with poly bushings, new leaf springs, brakes and on and on. Recently installed a Jegs High Rev 7500 ECU. Significant power gain over the orange box I have been running for 15 years. Smoother acceleration, idle, cleaner tail pipes, no residue at all. The car a has very snappy feel to it off the line and about 45mph. It feels like it has more mid range power for sure. Timing is set at 21 deg idle and 35 at 3000 rpm in park. I will be putting the car on a dyno in about two weeks to see the hp gain. I am sure there will be some over the 150 hp stock rating.

I do have the dyno results: measured at the wheels it was 140HP at 4100 rpm 200 Ft lb torque. What would be the additional and the percentage for actual engine horse Power? The dyno garage owner said maybe 20 to 25 percent more.
 
Wow, your car is spot-on Gorgeous! I have never seen another Charger with that color or at least not that combination of graphics and trim! A treat for the eyes! (I want it!) LOL
