| Hey, all. I don't post here very much, but I'd like to know if anyone here has any experience with Modern Muscle in Plainfield. I'm planning on having a Whipple installed on my '16 R/T in the next few months and I'd like to have it done locally if I could rather than drive out to Arrington or High Horse. But I also know it's not a cheap job and not an easy one, so peace of mind is really important to me and I'll make that drive if I think it's warranted.
If anyone cares to share their experience with Modern Muscle, good or bad, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks. | |

| STAY FAR AWAY FROM MODERN MUSCLE. It's not that hard of a job and there is a few local shops who could get it done for you. How do you plan on tuning it, does the kit come with new computer with a tuning device, or do you have to order that from Diablo?
Here are a couple of shops who could get it done Modular Powerhouse Inc 601 W Jefferson St, Rockford, Illinois Don't have Tims number, but maybe someone else can post it

| John Modular is having a open house in May, if you can wait til then you can head out with us and talk to them. I second what Shawn said though, either option is a good one.
Check the calendar, the open house is on May 21st. | |

| Oh, wow. Thanks!! I can definitely wait until May for this. I wasn't planning on doing it until some time in July. Shawn, to answer your question about tuning, the answer is: I don't know. lol I'm just starting to do research on it. I know I'll have to either send in my PCM to Diablo to get it unlocked, or buy an after-market PCM from them. I was thinking that I might be able to get a canned tune from them, or I could have whatever speed shop that does the install do a custom tune, if they've got a dyno. Thanks again, guys. Really appreciate it. | |

| I wound up having Arrington do the install. They're ironing out some minor knock issues via email tunes, but here are the "before" and "after" dyno results. | |

| Sorry, but I don't know why the images didn't show up. I must have done something wrong when I tried to add the attachments. Here are the rear wheel numbers from "before" and "after".
Before install:
348 HP 387 lb/ft
After install:
496 HP 469 lb/ft | |

Thanks! 8 psi. Arrington tells me that I can run that much without a forged bottom end without having to worry about it. | |

Your as safe as your tune is. Highly recommend an A/F gauge if you don't already have one. It's just an extra security blanket that doesn't cost much. | |

Thanks, but I like keeping it plain Jane on the outside. It's more of a sleeper that way. That is, if any of our cars can even be called sleepers. . . lol | |
