Couple questions on a boosted 5.9 Magnum build.

I got the down pipes and y-pipe off of an 01 Ram, so I plan to run open 3" single exhaust under it until I get an unwelcome visit from the local lawman... But I get a feeling they aren't going to suspect an Intrepid of making so much noise :P

EDIT: the 8.25 currently is a peg leg packing 3.50 gears (which is ideal for 25" tires), but it will eventually get a locker/posi of sorts and a set of long traction bars
Paint will be a cross between this
^^^BTW that is a 1451rwhp DAILY DRIVER
and this
Difference will be black on the bottom half and I plan to retain the factory metalic silver for the top and the stripes.
Rims will be the 06 Charger 18" pieces wrapped in Goodyear 245/40R18 Eagle F1 All Seasons
and the dash/a-pillar gauge pod will be filled with gauges like this

Well, it`s been nearly three months and I`ve finally gotten a chance to work on the car again... Found out that ram`s and probably dakotas must use some sort of special bracket on the transmission to install a ratchet shifter. Shortened the driveshaft and reworked the front leaf spring mounts. Tomorrow I have to make upper shock mounts, install my shocks, and install a temporary cooling fan. Then all that will be left is to fab up some exhaust past the O2 sensor... Eventually I`ll have to hook up the heater, install my gauges, and get a dual fan set up installed. But for now that would make it driveable

Didn't think I would ever say it, but this thing is definitely going to need a muffler... I'm thinkin Thrush Welded since I can pick them up at work for just under $35
ENJOY!

I know... it`s the 318 that thinks it is a 360 :P I shifted to 2nd too soon IMO bogged out a little, but it was coming back before I let off the brakes. I did a repeat on a different road for some friends and let it wind out to 5200 (it actually bounced once on the rev limiter) before shifting to 2nd. All I can say is that tire is TOAST, it didn`t bog out and wound up to about 4800 in 2nd before I let out the brakes... I can`t wait to get my posi though, double the tire smoke
