So mid-90s, lots of stuff happened, but highlights, got the car painted again, this time a color change, and went with a '98 Dodge Durango color, Chili Pepper Red Pearl. I was pushing to get ready for the upcoming, first ever Power Tour, which was the '99 East Coast Power Tour.

Went to 17" wheels, freshened the suspension, and put another 455 in it. On top of this version of my 455s, decided to do port injections, and a popular offering was the Accel DFI gen 6, had an intake converted with bungs and rails, and a Accel throttle body. I thrashed and got the car done in 9 mo, working long hours to get it done for the tour, which was from north of Boston to Panama City Beach Florida.

Barely made it, caught up with the tour in western VA as it was passing by, stopping once at an Accel 'EMIC' for some refinement of the tune on the new ECU, a place west of Richmond.

Here's a few shots of this version...
