    If it is legit, then you must not quit. But if it is not legit, if you are unlegit, then for that reason you MUST quit. But I believe you are legit.

    Thank you for all the kudos, guys. Like I said, this was very much a group effort. This project would not have gotten this far without my dad, my brother Joe, Brian Slowe, Steve Menegon, Mike at ForwardMotion, Jeff at Linfert Performance, DJ, Dean Stille, Patrick Culkin, JT, James Reeves, Warren Hall, Adam Lengel, Jeff Mass, Curtis Palmer, Nicholas Zeglen, Bruce Bender, Justin & Jill Cronk, Gary Mazzone, Jon Trotter, Darius Rucker, and the support and encouragement of the SDAC and Turbo-Mopar communities. I am sure I forgot some people here. So many people contributed something.

    This thread isn't over. There is still much tuning to be done, and I've already started a list of things that need to be addressed over the winter.
    I want to figure out a way to get outside air to the compressor inlet. Somebody had mentioned they were working on a fiberglass hood for the 4 door L body. That could be the ticket for me.
    I will be adding a CO2 bottle for boost control. I also need to figure out the shift light and SD card logger in the megasquirt. I also want to add a 3rd rev limiter for the burnout.

    As intimidated as I was by megasquirt, now that I have had the car down the track, I am glad I went this route.
