Then the new learning curve will start on the new Gen 3 Hemi elephant motor. 2015 Drag Pack 392 N/A. I'm going to be lost, no carbs, no distributor, no jets to change, and its all done with a computer, This looks like a sure recipe for a disaster.

The learning curve begins.
I was given some very good advice on mine by the tuner: A dedicated laptop, only for use on the car, following the specs to the tee from the tuner, in my case old school rs232 port. I now keep a spare laptop, cheap insurance.
Attention to detail on uploading tunes is the key, naming them something unique like my fastest one named and created by Roth and Bales, royale with cheese.
Up to you, but I like to download data from every run from the ECU, and the Racepak for the dragpak. Different data paths, etc. Pull the data before you start charging, don't temp fate.
An even bigger learning curve is going to be the traction......your e-body was scienced out for max weight transfer and was likely going to hook on every decent track...Since you are starting with a built car, likely less of an issue, but the steam from a 2015 392 motor is going to be significant, good news is that for those No-prep days you can have your tune set up to retard to get you off the line.
You are either going to love the new car experience, or hate it. When the power windows are working right, its pretty sweet!
