Hi all
I bought my 96 Indy new back on April 29 96, since then I have modified it a bit every year, bracket raced in the points for 3yrs, with tons of races and test n tunes every other year I wasnt in the points. Ive made about 1100 passes down the 1/4 mile with it and counting.

My cardomain pages have a small portion of the pics from my website RM-Indy.com. Full history of year over year changes and et reductions from individual mods. Tech and drag tips, performance calculators, downloads (Dodge font/Dragstrip Plus shareware) wallpapers, etc etc.
My site video page with about 25 1/4mile passes
My sites Visitors Parking, lots of Ram p/u trucks, lowered, lifted from mild to wild

 Trying to reorganise my pages here a bit so be patient

PG 1 You're lookin at it ;)
PG 2 408 Blower Motor Build (still working on page)
PG 3 Procharger D-1SC install
PG 4 Modifications List (always changing)
PG 5 Drag Strip Action (pics/video)

Stock to most recent
245hp @ crank stock 360
320hp @ crank with all bolt ons
345hp @ crank with mild top end (no heads)
510hp @ crank with Procharger making 7psi (mild 360)

Well Ive dragged my but the last year on this build up. Seems anytime I order anything Im waiting 2weeks to 2months. Front suspensions been off for 4weeks now, still waiting on Energy Suspension bushing. I screwed up n ordered 4x4 c arm bushing by mistake, the 4x2s are backordered of course.

This is how my 408 looks now, think I have finalized the motor, just need to get some wheels on the front so i can install it lol.

 Adding a bit more bling this year with chrome 1pc hd/tail lights (hdlights in/need to paint tail lights) and some American Racing Burn 22x9.5s. The Yokohama 285/35/22s should arrive June17 or 18th with any luck. New alum 2core rad wont arrive till mid July. Ill send the rad into Universal Spinners so they can add brackets to mount it, the fans and the alum catch can. About to order EBC dimpled/slotted rotors and Hawk Ferro/Carbon pads. Already ordered Russel braided brake lines though not sure when they will show up. When I order the rotors/pads also get some easy bleeders so I can bleed the brakes myself.

UPDATE Aug 26/08

Tires arrived and were mounted on the rims Aug 22! Waited forever but got a great deal from John at Consumerstires.com(backorder from Yokohama). Forgot to take some chrome valve stems with me so will eventually change them or get covers. Summit order pissed me off big time. First of the 3 boxes arrived July 30(mainly fuel fittings with V10 & Indy brake pads), next the V10 rotors on Aug 5, Aug 12 the EBC rotors for the Indy arrived. They were damaged and I had to send them back. Summit charged me $506 in shipping/brokerage fees for the whole order which I couldnt believe! That was 54% of the cost of the parts/handling WTF's with that? To ship back the rotors (1/2 the wt of total order & 1/3 the volume) cost me $65. They bent me over big time. Brake lines arrived and so did the rad. The rad I almost 2months for it to be made. They ship it and it looks like there were straps removed from the front and the filler neck is sitting too high above the body and had a manufacturers date of June 06. Have to fabricate some mounts for it. Still need the overflow from Universal.

 Here are a few of the parts Ive powder coated (myself) so far. (30+ not in pic)

Yokohama Parada 285/35/22 on the American Racing Burn rims

This is from video on October 05 running a 13.02 pass (let off/didnt shift to od). I have this video and many others at my site rm-indy.com. Not the best quality but you can see the ET street wrinkling as I leave the line.

As you may notice my 96 is more about go than show. I currently have the motor out, wiring harness out and fuel system out. I have a FAST stand alone engine management and a new billet return fuel system with alum cell that will support up to 1100hp blown (1600hp na) that Ill be installing. Also painting the rest of the frame from firewall back (firewall forward completed). Software saying 10.9-11.1 with 7-8psi threw the new 408(700hp approx). Once everything is sorted out Ill be overdrving the blower for 12-14psi and should see 850hp at the motor and ets in the mid 10second(1/4mile) if things go well and I dont blow anything up lol

At the track she sits a bit lower at 3.5x5.5" on Weld Draglites with Mickey Thompson Sportsman 28x7.5" fronts and ET Street DOT slicks 28x12.5 in the rear.

When I fired up the 408 last summer this is what she looked like. Flashed computer I had would barely run it so I had to pull the plug till I had the FAST stand alone, fuel system that could support the motor and blower and a tc/tranny that could take it as well so that slowed me down. Still need new rad, exh from heads to tip and some other odds n ends to finish it off(April/08).

My website below has all of info on what Ive done year over year, et reductions and gains from individual mods. There are tons and tons of pics with progressive pics threw some of the many installs Ive done. Be sure to check out the video page with lots of track video of my Indy in action. Also Dragstrip dyno software download, performance calculators and the official Dodge font for your PC.

Here are a couple of pics showing some of the mods completed so far as well as some of the dragstrip action.

Below is the mild 360 with Procharger. Looked ok back then and at the time I was proud of it. 

EBC dimpled slotted rotors with Hawk performance pads and Russel braided lines. Since this pic I have cleaned things up a bit more and detailed it a bit better. About to install Energy Suspension poly bushings for sway bar, c arms and leafs. Powder coated a bunch of the pieces cause the ES come in this crappy looking gold anodized finished (cheesy)Not shown either in the above pic of the powder coated parts are the end caps and rods that hold the upper control arms. Polished them and coated them with my custom Indy mix of powders which is much closer to the oem paint than the rotor hat & grease caps.

Here is the M1/2BBL intake (w/ceramic paint) and the new FAST 65lb injectors, KRC billet fuel rails. Fuel system is all billet alum with SS lines (pump has monster 12an feed!!) Dropped the 2bbl for a 4BBL. New one is ported, decked, matched with heat reflective coating(copper look) on the bottom and heat dispersing coating ontop (flat black). It will match the flow of the rest of the motor better than the 2bbl could. Also went to 1 3/4" long tubes with 3" collectors.

This is my other truck, 99 2500HD V10 4x4.
Say what you want about my 96 being a trailer queen. Lot of reasons why I tow my 96 to the track.

Changing all 4 tires before/after racing in 90+temps & 90+humidity is really over rated.
Few injuries from my past catching up with me (Im no kid)
Sometimes cant pit on ashpalt and jacking up the truck on grass sucks
Drive onto the trailer in the pits to check things underneath without having to jack it up. (3.5"x5.5" drop) Being on the grass is not an issue.
Helped save my license. I would tend to speed on the way to the track and back home after racing.
