once again, beautiful car. sounds amazing.

I have always been into the cosmetics and design of cars, but never really understood how everything works internally (performance mods etc.), and by the looks of it, you really know what you are doing.

Where can I learn how to do all of this and what it means?
I really want to learn how to do all of these mods etc. and how they make the car better.

Thanks so much!

parham, i learned most of what i know by keeping an open eye on the forums. this forum is a really helpful self education tool... and even where it doesn't educate, it at least leads you to ask the right question.

typically, i'd see a car with a modification i knew very little about and that would spark a curiosity in my mind to know what that part does, what the reviews have been, and whether that part is worth it. for instance, i knew very little about supercharger kits before this forum sparked my curiosity about them. i did a few searches, read about the various superchargers available, and a few more searches later i learned how they worked for the most part and how they stacked up against each other, and then a few searches later read customer complaints and compliments. from a buyer's perspective there's little else that you need to know.

just keep your eyes and ears open on the forums... you can learn almost anything here.

Car sounds great on the dyno! Hopefully you can post up those graphs soon.

esquire · 09-19-2011, 05:07 PM

Dyno Charts are coming soon.. just have to get them in electronic format from EAS.

thanks for the advice
definitely will use it

Alright guys, finally got the chart from EAS. We did about 8 pulls in sum. The below chart shows a representative "before" pull and a representative "after" pull. In sum, it looks like the Macht Schnell Stage 2 Intake resulted in a net gain of 9 horsepower and about 5 ft-lbs of torque gained over just the regular Air Filter.

Its noteworthy to mention that it was about 90 degrees Farenheit outside (and warmer inside EAS) on the day we ran the pulls.

Dodge2Dub · 09-19-2011, 07:01 PM

Interesting....well, I may just have to pick up a chargekit....thanks a lot for forcing me to spend my money!

esquire · 02-28-2012, 04:07 AM

Been eyeing a lot of beautiful mods lately. This one of at least 3 mods i'll be doing in the VERY near future. But what is it?
