    Car is going awesome. I got it back on Friday (less "the package") and have been driving it flat out (no not fast just heaps of driving :)). As an example you can be driving 3rd gear, plant your foot and the thing fries the rear tyres. Its ridiculous, I just can't imagine what its going to be like with "the package" fitted. Driving it home on Friday night in the pouring rain was definitely exciting especially since the traction control/esp/ABS isn't working as yet (minor glitch will be fixed when it goes back - although I love it having no traction control/esp, feels like diving a real car again).

    The car is putting out more power than I did with just the blower fitted and is an animal to drive.

    Tuning from what I was told by Paul @ HP/F & Steve @ RDP was difficult but has been nailed down. Both are extremely happy with how it turned out so far. HP/F have definitely got the skills to get these tuned and tuned well. They have learnt heaps from tuning mine and Richards (as well as picking up tips from Steve - and vise versa) and I am certain that Steve will back me up when I say, These guys at HP/F know thier SHIT when it comes to tuning Chryslers :).

    I will be taking it back Wednesday this week and then the fun begins. Stay tuned!
