OK, so she's out and about. There was a tuning issue with idle. They had trouble getting it to idle at 650 RPM. It was perfectly fine when driving down the road, but if I had to take my foot out of it suddenly, it would stall. If I slowly took my foot out of it and held the throttle at around 1%, then let off, it wouldn't stall. So after some investigating, they discovered that the computer was trying to use the IAC valve to smooth out the slightly more lumpy idle. It isn't even that lumpy, really, but the computer wasn't happy. So they adjusted the TB a bit, bumped the idle RPM up to 750-800, and it's fine now.
So keep in mind that since around 2008-2009, ALL I've been driving has been Jeeps. I got on this thing and it scared me. But of course, I did it again after that, sooo...
I'd forgotten how raw cars used to be. When I got on it, the feeling of being shoved back, the angry sound of the exhaust, how far up the nose lifted, it was all awesome, and it isn't very quiet at low RPMs, either, like modern cars. I really miss these type of cars. Thankfully Dodge is still in that market.
