You didn't address the second part of my post.

Or give us the reason for using the aluminum manifold.

Thank You

So if I would ship one over there, are there a lot of additional changes necessary. I hope not, because I just want to get a number plate and have fun. Maybe you can help me with some information.....

Sorry Lost but your brother is wrong. We build the 300C SRT8 at our facility in Graz Austria in both LHD and RHD versions for sale throughout Europe. I would suggest it would be easiest to buy it over there if you intned to keep it there. That way all the necessary homologations are handled.

Heat transfer due to the aluminum intake manifold contributes approximately 3-5hp degradation at max power. Testing with phenolic spacers at port flanges quantified this difference. No composite intake planned at this time.

Hi Team, about the new caliber srt-4, I heard some mention of torque control being built into the ECM. Now of course I know there is limits and control but is any of that control at all based on limiting power to the tranny for tranny life concerns? I ask because tranny saving torque control is built into every other automatic srt car and even hemi rams which limits power at shift points etc. So has anything similar been built into the ecm for the manual tranny srt-4.

I was referring to this row of more holes you added to the New Fascia replacement. You mean to tell me that the large front grille, that is on the car now, does not allow enough cooling flow to the entire front end?

I take you guys aren't "Audio Engineers" No input on my question?

Stereo Question for SRT8 with Kicker Option. Can you confirm that the front door mounted 6x9s are just a woofer and not a 2way with a tweeter??

Can you tell me the specs crossover wise for the 272watt Kicker Amp ... it does differ from the Boston Acoustic Amp.

My understanding from a Stereo person on the board is the following

Front Doors: 250hz lowpass
Dash Speakers: 300hz highpass
Rear Deck: 80hz highpass
Subwoofer:?? (unknown)

Also the Kicker sub is self powered and not powered off the dash mounted amp?

thanks guys

Chrysler is offering the Corsa exhaust for SRT8 badged as a mopar exhaust. What is the hp increase with these Chrysler catbacks?

[TheLostSon]

I read a lot about the 300C SRT8 you build and raced at the Targa Newfoundland. Do you or Mopar offer a kit to build this car. Or is there a list of parts available to build it?
Also I would like to know if the Pizza arrived yet?????

[ekool]

GC SRT8 question here, but do you guys plan to offer lowering springs for the GC SRT8?

We had a hard time making HP with any cat back we tested. The SRT8's have a low restriction system already. We did see gains of 5-8HP.
