Thanks for your response. Would you have any info on HP gain from combining my Mopar Cold Air intake with a Mopar cat-back exhaust system?

Thanks again,

Even some of the Challenger SRT8 press photos show a key fob in the ignition vs the push button. Can you offer any more details on this?
Key stays in your pocket, push button start. You can pull the button and use the 2008 style key in the panel if you're old-school. No proximity entry on 2008 Challenger (still have the key fob to unlock doors).

Yes, but did you replace the front swaybar end links that attach to the struts? Also, your aftermarket swaybar cusion bushings are perhaps now urethane... Chassis ears are a very good tool to locate the source of mystery noises.

4. Memory seats and wheel (I own a Charger)
5. LIMITED SLIP DIFF
6. A non-painted piece under the front spoiler that isn't so noisy and can be replaced cheaply (ala Corvette)
7. A more accurate tach at WOT
8. A faster, harder shifting tranny in "sport" or non-ESP mode.
9. More power
10. More gear ratios (lot of 6, 7 and now 8spd autos)
I'm going to quote myself with explanations:

1. So I don't destroy my brakes and tires during a track day. Or see them compete successfully in SCCA T2.
2. Refined in terms of visual appeal and design. The "feel" and ergonomics are very, very good.
3. See #1 regarding SCCA.
5. This is a must have, trust us, please!
7. Just so we know its as accurate as possible.
9. 500hp is a nice number for the 3800-4000lb sedan class....
10. Better acceleration and mileage!

The Quaife is pricy, but works well regardless of tire.
Thanks for the feedback. Just got off the phone with Timberline Dodge in Portland. There will be a Quaife in my future.

One more for ya: What is the minimum lowering setting on the Mopar coil overs? I'm not sure I want to utilize the full drop since I have 3 inch pipes all the way back and the bottom of my front air dam is paintless at stock height.

Thanks again,

Ryan
