Before My car would lag then take off like a rocket and other times it would just take off with no lag. That makes racing unpredictable and sometimes lesser cars will hold up untill the SC finally kicks in. I would recommend changing to the Johnsons for anyone with a SRT6 whether your going to further mod it or not. Bite the bullet and spend the change.
Quick question about the pump. Has anyone had it professionally installed? I know alot of people have been doing it themselves, but would taking it to a dealer be a possible idea?
I know they are going to mention if they find out a problem occurred due to the pump it would void my warrenty. Not sure if they would install it anyway with my say so.
Also I was thinking, when your pump fails to the dealer its not considered a major issue since the engine can run with a failed pump. (Hence why there is no recall). How can they void a warrenty due to a part they consider "not necessary" per say?
