I am not against modifying it with something similar to CHI-TOWN ; but even he said he was not interested to go further. And I do know he is now trying to sell his car.
Sometimes it's ok to color outside the lines. My SRT-8 had 425hp when I bought it and now has rite arount 540hp. The motor from the dealer is around $10k+ to replace and I didn't think twice about its reliability when adding 115hp. It was my daily driver for a little over a year until I recently purchased the SRT-6. Engines are built to much higher standards today as compared to just 10 years ago and a AMG s/c motor is not something to be afraid of quality wise. Do you know what "SRT" stands for? It stands for Street and RACING Technology.............these cars were built to be rode hard and put away wet.
