SRT-4

Can you explain why the Mopar Performance clutch is rated at 315 ft-lbs. of torque, and the Mopar Stage 3 kit is rated at 325 ft-lbs. (non-HOM) and 365 ft-lbs. (HOM)?

Is the clutch underrated? If so, could you provide a more accurate, unofficial rating?

Thank you.

can we expect a production challenger srt-8 in the near future? just a nod yes or no would be great. i'm sure you can't discuss it in detail!

EDIT* The team will not be able to answer questions on this. Please refrain from similar type posts. 4trs

WHat oil should we run. Owners manual says 5w30 or 10w30. But some here are saying to run 0w30?

What mods would you install to get an SRT-4 running 10's in the quarter mile.

I know you're only supposed to recommend existing Mopar parts, but get creative and feel free to put "Hypothetically speaking..." in front of each sentence.

Default Mopar Clutch and Stage 3 combination...

Why did Mopar release a performance clutch that can only handle 315 lbs. of torque? That doesn't even cover an SRT-4 with Stage 3 and no other mods (which is rated at 325 lbs. torque). What then if we add the Mopar intake, Mopar Borla Cat-back exhaust w/cat delete pipe, and then add 100 octane racing fuel? Please advise [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]

P.S. Can you please tell Chris Neprasch to finish his article on Mopar.com about the Stage 3 and the step-by-step installation thereof...it's been over a year now

we need a moderator screening ?'s most of the above either they'll totally blow off or say " we can't talk about future products" the clutch ? is legit the rest should be moved. they wouldn't put the wrong recommend weight in the book, you should assume thats what they want you to run. running 10s they won't even comment on. just my .02. also refur everyone back to last ?s answered so no doubles. lets try to make this productive.

Questions in decending order of importance;

1. Any signifigance to the change in WGAs at the end of the '05 production run? Are they different internally? Performance wise?

2. Any idea what the "mystery chime" that some of us experience every now and then is? I am not talking about e-brake being on, door being open, low brake fluid, etc. This is a mystery chime that goes off, seemingly at random, every now and then, with no dash indicator. It usually happens after starting the car, and setting off.

I realize you guys can't comment on future product, mods that may make you liable, etc... so these are the only questions I have that fall in those parameters.

Again, thanks for the SRT-4. Too bad that it's a bad product for DCX to sell.

Default Is there going to be the rumored 6.4L Hemi?

I suggest you make it an option in the Challenger and Super Bee. The hockey stick Super Bee decals look bad. Maybe just a band on the rear without the "stick" part.

Default Why is my Charger not shifting 1-2 in D b4 rev limiter

It is at the dealer today for this issue. I can't imagine that the trans programs don't know to shift prior to reaching engine red line. No car I have ever owned did this.

How long do you plan on making stage upgrade kits/other Mopar perf. parts for the current SRT-4 after production has ceased?
