Could you share more info on your car and engine combo?

I have an 05 Magnum with 5.7 hemi and have thought about forced induction of some kind. But the computer controls intimidate me some.

Are you using a factory or aftermarket computer?

Also, how reliable is the transmission and rear end when more power is made?

Chris:
It's a '73 Dart Swinger 5.7 with a 76 mm turbo. Powerglide with 8 3/4 Mopar diff. I use a MegaSquirt ver. 3x. The set-up and tuning has been difficult, but hopefully will pay off. The Megasquirt worked great with my old motor, and for thousands of other folks too (www.msefi.com) I assume you mean the factory trans and diff behind your Magnum. If so, the trans can be beefed up considerably. The diff., however has its limits. the heavy hitters swap in a 8.8 ford center section ($$$). Check out www.lxforums.com for more info.
