This past weekend I went up to Bowling Green, KY for Challenger Fest 2010 and had a blast. Took Orange Krush down the strip for the first time as well.

I installed a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail of Project Orange Krush. Easy, effective, and looks good to boot. Install video included.

I attended the Mopar Nationals in Columbus, OH this weekend. It was pretty hot, and shade was scarce but still a good time. It was awesome to see so many Mopars in one spot and some VERY fast classic muscle run down the track.

The stock air box connected to the Magnuson supercharger just wasn't doing it for me. I decided to modify my Mopar CAI to fit and it turned out perfectly. The supercharger loves the extra air and required a tune touch up as well. Based on other results I'd expect to show a 20RWHP gain with this addition to the car.

While having the car's power plant upgraded at Arrington Engines in Martinsville, VA we had the opportunity to visit Richard Petty's Garage. What a great experience that was. A big thanks to Eric at Arrington for setting up the visit and chauffeuring us over and thanks to Greg and the rest of the folks at Petty's Garage for making us feel right at home. I captured a lot of great images through the lens of my camera, so be sure to check them out!

After five long days of working on hooking up the gauges in Project Orange Krush I'm finally done. Check ou the install video I put together to see how it's done the RIGHT way.

Well, I bit the bullet and decided to upgrade the power plant significantly in the Challenger. I'll start a seperate blog for that upgrade process, so be sure to check it often for updates. I went with an Arrington Forged 360ci (6.0L) motor with some head and cam work as well as a Magnuson Magna Charger Supercharger. Should be a fun ride. I've decided to call this Project Orange Krush.

The folks at the Camaro5 forum were nice enough to invite us Challenger folks to their Camaro5Fest 2010. We had a blast and many thanks to the great hospitality Camaro5!

I wanted to add a little something to the Challenger's interior for the car shows this summer. I wanted to keep it simple, and relative, so I had the R/T logo embroidered on the headrests. They turned out great.

Catch Can Update: Lots of chatter on the web about the necessity of a Catch Can. Here's what mine captured in 3,000 miles. I think the results speak for themselves.

The Challenger is one year old today. To celebrate I went for a nice long drive to one of my favorite eating locals in a small middle Tennessee town. The weather was nice and the soothing rumble of the Hemi V8 on a Saturday afternoon was great therapy. I ticked over 5,000 miles on that drive today and have enjoyed every minute spent in the car.

Back before Christmas I ordered a Hurst short throw 6 speed shifter for the Challenger. Today, I finally installed it.
