November 30th, 2008

Injected Engineering is proud announce dyno tuning services for 1996-06 Dodge Vipers and 2004-06 Dodge SRT10 Trucks. By re-flashing the OEM computer Injected Engineering is able to safely deliver additional performance while keeping your vehicle emissions legal. These services are available for stock, mildly modified, highly modified and power added vehicles. Below is a dyno graph depicting the before and after results of dyno tuning for a 2006 Dodge Viper.

World Record Dodge Charger

November 3rd, 2008

Halloween 2008: Injected Engineering and Speedfactory Cars spent the weekend racing at Silver Dollar in Reynolds GA. Hardwork and time finally paid off when the Speedfactory/Injected Charger broke the world record with a 10.67 @ 130mph. The record was broken again later in the evening with a 10.62 @ 134mph and two times the next day with a 10.39 @ 136mph and a 10.35 @ 137mph. Check out the video below and be sure to stay tuned for a 9 second run in the near future!

Injected Engineering CMR tune vs. Diablosport Canned tune

July 24th, 2008

On many occasions performance enthusiasts have debated the issue of whether stock or near stock vehicles will benefit from a specialized dyno tune. Although Diablosport’s pre-loaded Predator makes drastic improvements over the stock performance of any 5.7 or 6.1 Hemi there are still significant gains to be made with a CMR dyno tune. Contrary to popular belief not all 5.7 and 6.1 Hemi’s are exactly the same. Two identical SRT8 vehicles may react very dissimilar to the generic tune that is provided with a Diablosport Predator. These types of inconsistency will not only result in horsepower and torque losses but also sacrifice driveability and safety. To help illustrate this topic I have posted a dyno graph depicting the horsepower, torque and air fuel of a 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8 with modifications including a K&N cold air intake and a 180 degree thermostat. Please take a moment to examine the dyno graph (the baseline pull “in blue” was made using the Diablosport pre-loaded tune, the second pull “in red” was after CMR tuning by Injected Engineering). If you study the graph closely you will notice vast differences in air fuel, horsepower and torque curves.

Lincoln Mark VIII and Thunderbird custom wheels

July 24th, 2008

These wheel diminsions are based off of Mike Schultz’s 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII which can be seen in our customer gallery.

Front wheel dimensions: 18×8 w/ 6.375 back spacing

Rear wheel dimensions: 18×9 w/ 7.500 back spacing
I originally preferred Forge Line wheels but Forge Line presented issues that would not allow the front wheel centers to clear Brembo Brakes. However their wheel center’s for the rear would have had the “lip” we were going after. That’s what moved us to Boze wheels. Boze’s wheel centers cleared the Brembo’s, but we lost the rear “lip”.

I have attached two sheets for those interested in putting custom wheels on Marks and T-birds. Remember that the spec’s I have attached are for front Brembo brakes! With that said and what I have learned with 4-6 hours of measuring with an air ride suspension vehicle (it was fun let me tell ya….).

With the package that is on Mike’s car without the ½” wheel spacer we could have gone with:

Front wheel: 18×8.5 w/ 3.125 front spacing ~ 6.375 back spacing

-or-

18×8 w/3.125 front spacing ~ 5.875 back spacing

That would add a ½” to the front “lip” with Brembo’s
Now for the rear wheels we could have made some major changes here. There is a 2” space between the rear brake caliper bracket (cobra rotors) and the wheel spoke with the ½” wheel spacer. So we could have gone with:

Rear wheel: 18×9.5 w/ 4.000 front spacing ~ 6.500 back spacing (with this set-up the
rear sway-bar will have to be moved in ~1/4”)

-or-

18×9 w/ 4.000 front spacing ~ 6.000 back spacing

With the rear wheel spec’s I gave you, you would have around a 3” “lip”

All of these measurements will keep the front and rear wheels tucked under the wheel
arc.

Also, if your running cobra front brakes, add 1.00” to the front spacing and subtract 1.00” to the rear spacing. That would allow an additional 1” to the front wheel “lip” and still clear the front brakes.
