I haven't posted here in what seems like forever, so I thought I would make a post showing what I've been working on since I retired my cat. A few years ago I happened to pick up a new 2012 Challenger for an unbelievable price, since then I drove it for a few years until the "go fast" bug bit again. So to scratch that itch, I installed a Vortech V3 supercharger and intercooler. Now it's making some reasonable power. Here's a few pics of the build:

I had her dyno tuned and she's making pretty good power, putting down 440 RWHP! Not to shabby for a V-6 huh?

And gives a fair to middlin' 0-60mph time.

The 'ol Cougar is still sitting behind my brother's barn and believe it or not she still starts right up once we hook up a battery and dump a gallon of fuel into her. I was going to part her out, but my daughter wants to make a father and daughter hot rod out her, so as soon as I can relocate, that's the plan. Although it sounds like blaspheme we're going to drop a 6.0 LS and L80 in it and throw a roots style supercharger on it since I now have a bit of experience tuning speed density systems (my Challenger). The 'ol girl's lookin' kinda rough, but that should start changing in the next year or two.

Needs rims ;).
Ive been tempted to buy a new car so many times. My buddy just picked up a 13' gt and it's fast.
What else is new?
