Though we were pleased with the Charger R/T and its performance after a few tuning modifcations, we
brought the car back to Rockville Centre Dodge for our 'second-set' of improvements.
This time, they installed a 'heat-riser' between the cast iron Intake Manifold and Carter AVS Carburetor,
to help prevent 'vapor-lock' which we experienced on back-to-back test runs.
This plate will also improve the Venturi-Effect of the Carburetor which will improve Top-End performance.
The Staff also installed a copper-plate between the Intake Manifold and Cylinder Hear heat cross-over passage,
to prevent heat from travelling to the Carburetor-base on the Intake.
And, their ignition expert Thomas, swapped out our ignition wires for a Performance set from Chrysler.
And for a treat, the staff put the Charger R/T on the lift, and performed a rear-end swap out in record time,
by removing the Stock 3.23 Sure-Grip Rear, and installed a set of 4.10 Gears that were already in a
#742 Case with a Sure-Grip unit.
Upon leaving the Dealership, we punched the gas-pedal as soon as we hit Sunrise Highway, and the
Charger R/T 'launched' like a Rocket, pinning us back in our bucket seats.
We couldn't wait to get to the Track.
