It's still a bit early but The other thing I started thinking about is badging. Im not looking to have a sleeper car but want to keep it classy

With going through the hood on the black shaker want to call out the hemi. Ordered these 370 hemi custom ones.

Looks like this

On the rear looking to go with the Srt-8 tail badge. Not sure where. Maybe near the tail light in the middle or towards the bottom of the trunk lid. Ordered 2 maybe will put one inside

I also have a set of these 6.1 hemi badges that I'm thinking will do it stacked
6.1
Hemi
Vs 6.1 hemi side to side and put them
Somewhere on the TGF side panels

Lastly maybe a small Srt grill badge on the new grill. Not sure if this will look good kind of up to the right on the new grill.

Still have a long ways to go before these go on but planning early. What do you think?

Maybe chrome "SRT" in the grill

Forget the rest - too busy

(Get in touch with Billet Technology for their billet aluminum valve covers and coil pack covers)

Below are two pics of what Billet Tech can do to improve the motor's appearance:

the shaker badge will look good.

SRT on rear my suggestion would be under the trunk to the right of plate, but would use packing tape to tape on different places until it is JUST RIGHT, the right place may be on the deck lid near the bottom. Check out the SRT cars and see where the factory put them, make it look like they did it.

on the side panels IMO, might be too much, you will already have it on the hood

Spend the money and coat the headers (easy for me to say, it's your money) I think you will be glad you did.

Randy as soon as I smoke the current tires I may just get those big ones you mentioned. With the added power Im sure the rears will go down much faster.

Terry I really like the Billet items you sent. They are pretty expensive and if we get that shaker working it will cover up alot of the engine space.

As of right now I'm looking to follow the same direction of the first 6.1 below but going prowler red vs the yellow shown below

Here is a video of the AFR shaker in action on a Challenger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC9rsuwY6wc
You can see how it sits, and it pretty big. But we will modify for the Prowler

The undercarriage is looking good. Intial line up.
Work in progress,Magnaflow muffler in, initial pipes welded, headers are heading off to jet coat. 

Perf innovations team delivered and turned this

Into this

Kat tips, hi flow cats and exhaust cuts outs still on the way to be welded into the system to get it complete

The prowler will be 6 months or so the Camaro has a nice 23 year Transformation story. Finishing it was last years project. Inspired me to do the prowler.

You will love the cutouts

I have Dougs cutouts on my Dart. Bought them because they are a knife blade that opens and closes. Was afraid the butterfly type would leak

One more build add. Just ordered a set of lambo doors from vertical doors to be installed based on a few reco's from the site. I think this maybe the last extra mod. Looks pretty cool and still can get out without going up.

It's going to be a beast but the prowlers set up is what it is.
Plenty of dynos and videos will completed when be done.

Before With gears prowler stock is fast off the line I have videos of me pulling srt-8 in early parts of a 1/8 mile so if I drop a 6.1 in a 2800lb car it's gonna  take most cars out and torque is king.

So a stock v6 prowler V6 is rated at 253 hp @ 6400 rpm and 255 lb-ft of torque @ 3950 rpm.
I'm puting in a 6.1 srt hemi with 425hp at 6000rpm. 420 ft lb torque at 4800  1400 lbs lighter than its brother challenger or charger.  

Also doing a ton of intake mods. A stock prowler may do 170 hp to wheels.'I got 196hp dyno with headers, gears intake etc.

You can do the math if you keep the same ratio but I think the details speak for itself. I will have massive Power in every band and gear and its still a stock high performance engine for daily driving.

Hope that helps. Here goes those prowler vs srt-8 video. Again.

Now just imagine with the hemi.  still more time to go

Is it worth it? in my mind mind yes. I love the car and rather than trade it in why not keep it forever with the power to match most modern cars on the street.

It will blow that howler away that used much lower output hemi truck engine at the time.

I had to make the decision to invest the money to make it unique power wise. I tried to look at other cars to replace my Cat such as Corvettes, Porsches, BMWs, and on and on and on. I tried to get excited about them. Sat in them. Test drove them. Walked around them. But, in the final analysis, none of them made my pulse jump.
