I want to start this subject on to see what our Chargers can do in the performance area. I've been checking out other forums with Mopars and i think we need to get one here.
Year of car, engine, trans, rear gears, tires, Body Modification's (fiberglass or sub-fame connectors, roll bars, etc), Weight.

Well for now I'm just doing the jams, engine bay, bottom of trunk etc and I'm just doing that myself with a spray gun and lots of newspaper lol. When the car finally gets painted fully I'll be sending out to my neighbours shop. The engine feels awesome when the car is fully operational. Lots of power. Not sure what it's numbers are I was going to get it dyno'ed but I blew out my transmission awhile back. It's still driveable but it sometimes won't engage, and first gear doesn't work, however, I'm just about to leave actually to drive about an hour to pick up my new 727 TF I'll be posting pics
