When I install the 426 and this plate my 2009 Challenger becomes a 2011 Challenger... If I want the 2009 back I change the engine and the plate... Two cars for one!!!

I agree!!!! It's very hard to find anything of quality made in the USA that can compete price wise with anything imported....

Bill, I have been very lucky in my life... I also had one of those Love/Hate relationships that lasted 15 years till she decided she didn't want to be married any more... So, I just said OK and pulled my big boy pants went back to work and saved my money and let the chips fall where they may... I did not see she until our son's wedding last September and she took me off to the side and told me her decision many many years ago was the worst she has ever made... Too bad for her I have been happily married for many years and have two wonderful step daughters and all is well... So, guess I'm saying... Life is what you make it... Take lemons and make lemonade.... Or let it ruin your life .... Its up to you... I know you can do what you set yourself out to do.... I decided my "thing" was going to be drag racing... I don't hunt, fish, smoke, drink or chase women... All I do is work and race... And another thing is my wife likes racing also... That helps a bunch... Good luck to you and keep us posted of your successes... We'll be here to cheer you on!!!!

MReeves, Dont get me wrong I have put my big boy pants on and got married again. And my wife of now 2 years is very supportive of my love for cars and is wondrful. It was just getting caught up from the whole divorce thing. It really drains the old bank account and takes time to build it back up.. And building the Duster from the ground up in 6 month put a drain too. But its all good.. Life is like you say what you make of it and I feel if you work hard and are honest. And have a love for God what else could come against you.. Thanks Bro for the pep talk.. I too dont smoke, drink , chase women,or do alot of things that are not cool. I just also like fast cars and racing And my wife stands behind all that I do...Bill

Bill, I wasn't referring to you in any of my comments... I was telling you how I handled it and it sounds like to me that you handled exactly the same way.... Good for you!!!! You can look around and see others that just let "life changes" get them down... You are an excellent example of how to handle it like a man.... is it the easy way???? Hell no..... But it is the right way....
Keep doing what you are doing and you will come out on top... I don't believe the old saying "Good guys always finish last" !!!!!!! Mack

I hear you, and I didnt take any of what you said personally I knew what you were saying.. And I believe that my ex is in the same boat as your ex. The grass is always greener and when they get there it turns out it artificial turf. My ex is married and she seem very unhappy and they do nothing together and she is never home but he is. ( I only know by driving by on the way to my house) Im happy and thats all that matters to me. She will have to find her own way now.She hasnt spoken to me since she left and said she wasnt allowed to talk to me anymore. Or see Me. ( Her cult leaders orders) It is such a bizzare, wierd thing she has gotten herself into.. A stepford wife type thing...I pray for her to see the light and run for her life.. "If she only knew the real God"....Bill .. GOOD luck with your program and download

Mr Bob, you are right it reads very easy... The problem I think, is my ECU will not go into "Flash Mode".... Thus I can't load the option file from FAST into it... I know I'm missing something and a my best racing buddy always says it will be something "stupid".....

Oh well.... Wait to talk to the experts at FAST...... Mack

Well to quote myself. " it has to be something stupid" and it was.... I missed changing to the new program to flash... I was trying to do it in the old one... Anyway, got it done and now can log on with 2.0..... Problem is now I still have no "fire" turns over but no pop, poot, nothing... Ran out of time... Had to get ready to travel tomorrow... Will re check all the sensors last of the week.... Motor also sounds like it's laboring to turn over... Like too much timing.... Will check that also.... Mack

Still don't know what was wrong because we did a lot of things.... But I really think when I downloaded the tune up from my computer to the EFI in the car something didn't get there right or???? Anyway, after spending the morning checking and re checking I took the tune up out of the car and reinstalled it again from my computer.... Did all this and first revolution it popped... I knew I was on to something... second time it almost started and the third time was the charm... I have a 30 second video of it I just need to try to upload....

Makes the 6.1 sound weak!!! Got to get the gearing right so we can get it off the line..... We know a 4.56 is too much.... Going to test from there... We think the secret will be in the tranny first gear.....
