2005 Dodge SRT4!!

pictures does it no justice tho

the dent in the door i might pull a ghetto ass move and call the insurance company a week or 2 after i buy it and claim a hit and run and get it fixed like that

 

congrats on the purchase, they are pretty fun cars.
I would suggest getting the gm stg2 for now. it comes with pulley./injectors/belt and a crappy tune, then get an aftermarket tune to tweak things.
Cobalt Stage 2 Performance 245 hp Upgrade Kit 17803229 - Crate Engine Depot

I had the K&N intake, and had 0 issues with it, I had it on the car from the time it was about 2 weeks old up to the day before I traded it in...car was over 3yrs old and had 27,xxx miles on it and I never even cleaned it.

I had the gmpp performance catback has a great sound to it and it is pretty loud too.

I also had the gmpp honed header

and I had a downpipe with hi-flo cat from cobalt-addiction.com




just my 2cents

 

Awsome thanks, I was checking out the Crate engine stage 2 kit earlier today. Guess i need to get a pulley remover. Can i run that with just an intake or do i need the full exhaust system? I would like to do tunes as I add things and then do a full dyno run/tune at the end.


but first I have to get this thing back to the dealer and have them figure out why the check engine light came on on the ride home...thinking it's because the damn dipstick keeps popping off.

 

you don't need an intake/exhaust, but it will free up a few hp.............and the intake will make the supercharger whine its ass off lol...ask winning blue, he bought my old k&n a few weeks back

 

Thats what I figured and I read that about the intake and it's going to be the first thing I buy. Was debating on either the K&N or the INJEN.

 

i know several people with the k&n with no issues (including myself)

 

looks like that is what I will go with, just gotta make sure I get the right one, don't want the plastic tube intake they sell.

 

get the typhoon (metal tube)

 

this is the part #...no intake shows for an 07, it does for 06 however...trust me it will work b/c i bought the "06" part #

Will do!!

 

tranny might be effed up

 

yeah that k&n works great! like he said, you really hear the supercharger now. owned it for about a month, 0 problems and no codes thrown

 

well my CEL went out so i think its that damn dipstick that keeps poping out. I want that whine!! What did you do to ur tranny?

 

it keeps grinding when i go into reverse with the cluth fully pushed in

 

Just reverse? eliminates the clutch...synchros?

 

thats what im thinking, also on cold start up the clutch feels groggy when it engages also. Is that just because its cold?

 

does it do anything in anyother gears? My subaru would shutter when it was cold or rainy, but the clutch got screwed up when my main drive gear shattered but they wouldnt cover it. Could be few things, clutch, master cylinder or the trans itself. Im not a trans pro so its hard to say exactly.

 

nope just reverse

 

sounds like bad synchros...my 3rd gear synchros are the same way. grinds and i gotta put it in 3rd realllllll slow

 

Thats what I said, but start small and check your clutch fluid level. More than likely thats not it but you never know, that might fix the sluggishness on cold starts. Are you still under warranty?? 09, it should be covered.

 

it locks me out sometimes to where it wont even let me put it in reverse

 

^^Sucks to hear man.
the other day i went to put my car in reverse and got a lil grind. I was at a dead stop and clutch was through the floor. i released the clutch (in neutral) then pushed it in and it went in ok

 

every morning when my car is cold reverse grinds even with the clutch all the way down

 

idk like i said i only have the problem when i am cold.................but yeah wish someone would have got those fireballs on film

 

howd the rest of the races go?
