Looks like class/clash

considering what most people are doing to the challengers as of late, this car is not very flashy, just tastefully done with respect to its roots. No 24's no asanti's, gfg's or donz wheels. Just good ol' fashion power and looks on a modern day muscle car. the car should be putting down between 5-600 horses, depending on how it initially tunes. I want to put down safe power with a broad powerband. I dont build dyno queens.

Yes they are, but they are just for representation for now. We are actuallu cutting two different style wheels for him. When being a step lip multispoke like the ccw, but with thinner spokes. The other will be a soft lip split 5 spoke with a 6 inch rear lip.
It's a challenger.

I'm gonna have to say I am not in love with the exterior design. The wheels are interesting, they'll probably grow on me. Kinda old school, I like that.
The decals I dont dig, they are very retro, but not my thing.
Please be sure to take lots of pics though, maybe the final product will be awesome.
Definitely snap lots of the interior mods, I'm super curious about that.

"The By-Pass Valve does just that, it allows air that is being forced down the throat of your motor to be by-passed back into the supercharger or into the atmosphere, depending on the application, and the requirements of the supercharger.
Why, you might ask, is there a need to add more air by bolting on a supercharger and then take it away. The answer to that common question is, when you are force feeding a motor with air, there are times through-out the rpm-range where the motor can not handle more air. One example of this is, if an intake valve is closing on the cylinder heads, there is going to be a moment where it can not flow any air, but will imediately need air there after. Superchargers regulate the rate they flow air by the RPMs of the motor and not in those milliseconds through-out the RPM range that the motor can not handle the amount of air that the supercharger is forcing."
This car has a high compression motor, combined with a really aggressive blower setup, it's really a bypass valve, although they call it BOV, they work similarly. It's more for a "better safe than sorry" scenario.
