Always impressed with your builds.

 

Yes, the 5.7 Hemi can definitely make some monster power. It's shared among the entire platform (Magnum, Charger, Challenger, 300, Trucks, etc). However, the 6.1 Hemi has stronger internals, better drivetrain with higher gears, etc etc. They built the SRT8 to perform. I wish I knew more when entering the platform. Then again I thought I would benefit from the "MDS" since I commuted a ton during that time.

Thanks. I'm hope others are enjoying this as much as I am.

Thanks. It's truly rewarding to see people enthused about a build...especially a domestic on a Z forum.

 

Timing cover arrived today, so this along with the 6.1 oil pump will be sent off for polishing

 

I was sent a cell phone pic of my front calipers. I should be picking the Front and rear tomorrow and will snap better pics!

 

LOL that's so awesome! AMG on the 300C.
People will already be looking twice at your car just to figure it out.
If they see the AMG calipers it will have them looking 3X just to be sure.

 

Boxes, boxes, and more boxes. What are in them?



Some extra large calipers!



All out



Front calipers



8 piston fronts



4 piston rears



Caliper next to my Nikes



Calipers dwarf the oems



They fill up the wheels nicely. Now just have to mate these to some 15" rotors with the correct hat size



Rear calipers

 

Did dynapack ever fix the dyno issue? This thing needs a baseline

 

Yes.

Damn, not only they are AMG, the calipers are HUGE! The pictures really give it a relative perspective. People are going to trip out on your ride when it's done. You need to enter it into car shows. LOL

 

that's an understatement

the mods are very tasteful! can't wait to see the damn super BBK being installed!!! never knew how massive that 8pots look until you put it next to the wheel.

 

The first major car show for the 300 is March 24th.

Thanks and much appreciated. Yeah, I was surprised myself on how large they were. It makes the OEM calipers look like little eggs in comparison.

 

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to document the process as well today. I was cranking away on the dynamat and needed to get home in time for dinner with the family.

Danny aka Funkycld came through once again. I had a conversation with him in regards to how I wanted to push the rear wheels out a bit more and to be able to drop the front of the car a bit more. The 2 issues I noticed were the rear section of the inner rear fender has a bulge that the tires end up sitting on once the car is laid out. The 2nd issue was the front SPC Camber arm either being thicker or possibly the nut on top of the balljoint hitting the inner shock mount of the car sooner than the OEM's. Danny identified that the rear could be banged out since the metal in the inner rear fenders are two separate sheets of metal! He also stated that he could fold the metal in the inner portion of the front fenders to gain more of a drop once aired out!



Anyways, on to the pics...

Removed door panels to put a layer of dynamat in the inner part of the door and another layer on the outside shell. LAYER #1...



Layer #2...the same philosophy was applied on all 4 doors



Metal in the inner front fender that hits the tires once aired out



Metal cut and folded



Metal painted to prevent rusting. We gained about an extra 1/4" drop. Once the OEM A-arms are put back in, it should drop another 1/2" or more!!!



Closeup of the bump in the inner rear fender that was banged out. You can see where the tire left marks when the car is aired out. The rear ended up dropping another 3/4 of an inch! Unfortunately, I was running short on time so that is all of the pics I could take.

 

Just some small updates before the big stuff is done. The head/cam swap, torque converter, and retrofitted AMG brakes will hopefully be done before the car's first show at the end of the month. On to the pics...

Finally was able to get rid of the G on the emblem and replaced it with a billet aluminum anodized black chrysler emblem





EGR delete kit in satin w/ clearcoat courtesy of my sponsor Billet Technology. Thanks again!





Swapped out the brass fittings on the BT oil catch can for the nickel plated versions...mmm



Satin power mirror switch and bezel



Satin wiper stalk



Eww, the interior needs a detail before the show. Satin designer series door locks



Anodized black shifter insert



Polished timing cover ready to go in





New stance! With the fender work the car dropped another 1/2 to 3/4" front and rear! The long tube headers will definitely hit once the car is slammed now



The stance will benefit with some spacers that I plan to run to allow more room for the AMG brakes

 

Get some VIP curtains to block all the haters

 

HAHA...I don't plan to go that deep in to the VIP thing. This is still a Chrysler so no hardcore JDM for this ride. I'm focusing more on the engine now. Stay tuned as this thing is going to sound like a beast!

 

holy jeebus that BBK..hnnnnnnggg

Unless you wear a size 6 shoe....now Im suspicious of your possibly tiny feet.

 

LMAO it's a 9

 

WOW. The white is growing on me. Love that front badge, and the brakes, what can you really say about those Monsters?

Well done.

 

Haha

 

I was inspired by magfx's "skid plates" that he made for his LT headers, so I had L-con Racing fabricate some or me. I told them that the car would more than likely sit on the headers once aired out so they welded on some thick pieces of steel.*



closer view of the plate



They did awesome work on the cage for my track car so I'm not surprised that the welds were nice once again



Bottom side

 

Wow interesting idea for the header skid plates. Nice work!
