I will try to overlook how degrading that sounds and just say no.
My youngest is only really good at rearranging my tools. I usually spend 30 minutes or so undoing his work.
If you are refering to the exhaust manifold, no I did that myself. I havent gotten around to fixing it up, or cleaning it, but I'm OK with that.
The manifold is too thick though, I'm going to have to alter the firewall to make it fit.
6. I might have more money than you.
7. I do not like import parts in my american car.
6. What is the point of saying "I might have more money than you"? To me, you sound like a tool. You come onto a forum and brag about your car and how much money you have. And how you act like 20k is chump change. Let's get real...no one driving an srt4 can just blow 20 grand away..
Mr. Whiskers, he never asked for answers. He clearly stated he was going to do things his own way. He simply just wants to try and show off.
7. "I do not like import parts in my american car." I started to laugh hysterically when I saw pictures of your car. You don't like import parts in your American car but yet you're more than willing to throw on some cheap, ebay tailights and that super cool black vinyl. Not to mention the sweet stickers on the side of the car! Sounds like something a ricer would do.
If this whole thread was started with 100 percent sarcasm, then you got me good. But, I'm willing to bet it wasn't.
(I normally wouldn't even post on this kind of thread but these people really bug me)

I've had my car for several years now and I am only now, posting a thread. This was at other's request. I never really intended on bragging about money. Most SRT-4 owners do not have the liberty of spending more than a few K on their car.
The Stickers were a learning phase. Very ricey at best. I learn and grow, much like the rest of us. The stickers are actually off now, if it is so important. However, if you are wanting to be critical, I have a greddy BOV as well. Plus I'm pretty sure Tein isn't domestic. It's the basic principal.
I have more than enough stuff to take care of without having to post notes and pictures on a thread. So, if there is some clarity you wish me to make, then please, tell me. If it is the consistency in my dialogue, they it will have to be enough. This project is more for curiosity, plus I am more than aware of the harsh criticisms that inevidably follow.
Oh, another thing, if you or anyone else decides to make references or begin using "Tuner Jargon" then please keep in mind. I am not a mechanic or a tuner. We may speak totally different languages and less than 5% of you speak mine.

I have never gotten into the car club culture for many reasons. Although I grew up with a muscle car enthuseist (or however you spell it), I was never involved.
I am very institutionalized. I live-out my values in everything I do. My military values, and my Christian Values.
The point of the whole language thing is that I do not follow alot of the trends and terminologies used by you more dedicated members. I am here as a tourist. The only crowd here that would understand me clearly is, most likely, the military members who actually take the term "Soldier" seriously.
I have had the wonderful opportunity of working with, for and over some of the most stupid, resistant, annoying and honerable of Americans and Foreigners alike. The commonality is that we all understand our differences and accept them as individuals. My people come from all walks of life, all diversifications of interest and many prejudicial dispositions, yet we get along.
I read every page so far. And while I commend you for being different, and for not letting what people say get to you, I kinda feel like your just bragging a lot or coming off as just very arrogant. Maybe your not in person? Maybe your a pretty cool dude.
But the way you word things is pretty "holier than thou" attitude.
Anyways, goodluck with your build.

All this money you speak of and you can't even get a decent haircut? Your personality and the way you word things is completely ridiculous. You are here trying to say that you will "look" at sbc clutches when you're planning on running a spec clutch? You want to run serious HP but are sticking with off-the-shelf JE 8.5 pistons? Your false sense of superiority is insane, especially when you see it for the lone reason that you are being "different". If different worked more people would do it nutjob. Now, if that is what you truly want, is just to be different, than the haircut has that whole category sewn up for you. Looking at your ideas and parts list has really shown the lack of research you have done, but as you've said, blowing $20k is a great learning experience!!!!! You say you want your son to have this car when he's 16? I know he won't be mature enough to drive it, I'm not even sure you're mature enough to drive it. I am not going to tell you where to go for parts, I am not going to tell you who to have tune the EMS(because as you put it, you can learn how to do it yourself!!!) I am going to subscribe to this, and wait til you come back saying you wasted $20k on the most ridiculously fucked up build of all time and you feel great inside. Have a nice day

who are you to judge somebody on what they want to do?

LOL thanks corey! but that statement may not be entirely true
and for the other guy
For one thing, this is an open forum, I can say what i want.He posts up the MOST ridiculous thread I have ever seen on this site in my almost 4.5 years here, damn right i'm going to speak up. This guy is fully intending to come off as an arrogant prick, and he did that well. The one thing he can't do very well is pick out quality parts, as he has done a magnificent job of creating an epic failure. I toyed with the idea of sequential twins on my car, but the end result is not going to be better than a large single turbo. Specifically on a street SRT, sequential would be useless, any high HP srt does nothing but smoke the tires through 3rd gear and this guy wants to shift the powerband even LOWER in the rpm range.......I can't fault him at all for making parts himself, or running with an idea, but his mannerisms, arrogance and flatout disrespect for the SRT community's 3rd fastest member was not needed. He claims that spec clutches have a better rep than SBC? NEVER, he bought a spec clutch without looking into it and now he's trying to deny he fucked up. IT IS HIS CAR THOUGH, which is why i'm not going to tell him what to do, just tell him he's going at this with a horrible attitude and no direction.
no wonder i started my own site for these fucking cars....
Man, people take this shit way too personally. I'm not sure how any of this thread makes one difference in any of your lives, but it sure seems to get under some people's skin around here. There are a lot more important things to get pissed off about than this shit.
Whiskers!

I appreciate your response. I do tend to come accross as a bit conceded, but I assure you, I am quite humble. If I seem this way, it is not my intention.
I suppose that any response to criticism will seem more overconfident than intended.

You have not seen my haircut. I shave my head by the way, plus I try not to take people's word at first glance. I will listen to any ideas, even ones that sound far fetched. I have spent months on research, plus my experience tells me that if your tubes, suspension, pipes and axles cannot handle at least 20% more than your Torque goal, upgrade them.
I will take every suggestion to heart and look into it with great concern, for starters, I have asked other tuners/racers/mechanics about South Bend clutches and I get the same answers. None of which convince me to run out and get one today.
On the build, if it fails and I do come crying, at least you have ring-side seats.
