    Mondello Stage Three Heads
    Mondello 426 Cam
    Ported/Coated Intake

    Injectors
    Kooks LT’s w/High Flow Cats
    B&B Cat Back

    Still have to get it tuned and the motor broken in so the track will have to wait for now.

    A lot of thanks to Steve/Sarge for all his help with this, he put a lot in to get this done.

    I taking it easy on it as I want to break it in right, but I can tell this think is just waiting to go and it sounds so sick. I getting tons of head turns, even had the girl at a drive thru all like “I like you car, I have the nitro so kinda the same familyâ€￾. I was surprised she even knew that and wonder if she “reallyâ€￾ knew what I was driving.

    I can already tell that this thing is a monster

    A little off the map around here but I went with Lujan Motorsports, Willie is a good guy to deal with. A man of his word.

    As far as tuning I Considered that or AJ, but seeing as this is pretty much a mirror of Sarges Jeep I'm just going to use his tune as a base and do a little data logging to get it dialed in.

    Well unfortunately I don't have headlamps, still at a vendors shop till today I HOPE!
    So I'm a little limited till I get those in tomorrow but after that I'll be cruising around a bit.

    Have you noticed any heat increase with the painted manifold?

    Hard to say as I did this as a complete deal, the fact that I have increased the displacement of the engine will cause it to produce more heat.

    At idle it will stay at 184 but with a little gas the temp will go up faster than the 6.1 but within reason. I really haven't put it thru the paces yet though.
