Borla cat back is due in a month +/-.

The OEM supercharger is available from IHI, four month delivery on the part.

The OEM intercooler and plumbing is available from Garrett / Honeywell, with about the same delivery time.

The tighter springs, tortion bars, dampers, brake rotors & disks are available now on the AM...

The ECU remap will be available very soon, but a good tuner can do it from scratch...

But if you add-up the cost of the upgrades and figure the outside labor, you're looking at nearly the same price as buying a new SRT with a full warranty.

The only advantage to upgrading instead of buying the SRT is if you have a manual tranny, since the SRT is only available with auto stick and only offerered with one interior color... (for the time being)

I am going to upgrade my limited coupe because I have the 6sp... But then I may "Eat It" in a year when they intro the SRT manual 6spd...
