Tech Questiondoug caster, louisville, KY, 1970 Dodge Charger 408? Ultiamtely, I want a stroked 360 Magnum, centrifugally supercharged, to install in my Charger. My question is, will I be better off, in terms of headaches recieved, to put the whole factory Magnum computer and wiring harness into my Charger, then stroke it and add the truck supercharger kit - OR - to stroke it, apply a supercharger kit and a blow-through carb or Pro-jection fuel injection kit? I want to drive the car on the street, so I want it well-mannered. I was just concerned on using the factory computer and injection with both the stroker kit and a supercharger; I wasn't sure if it would produce poor results. Thanks for the tech articles, I've been waiting about 10 years for someone to start writing about putting magnum systems into older cars! Doug- Ultimately, I think you'll be way WAY ahead if you use a 'standalone' user-programmable SMPI computer system, such as FAST, Accel, AEM, etc. The factory and/or MP setup have no user-programmability and little adaptibility, plus they can't even read a positive-MAP sensor. You be reduced to rice-boy type tricks, such as a "9th" injector, boosting fuel pressure, etc., to get the A/F ratios even in the ballpark. You could still use the MP manifold, stock fuel rails, etc., to simplify (and reduce cost of) the swap. Rick
