hey guys new srt6 2nd owner just bought one from car max 05 srt6 with 45k miles had it transferred to Orlando from Arizona... brought it home yesterday and decided to try her out a bit and i noticed that sometimes i have massive boosted power and some times i have N/A power. I just sold my 2003 saab 9-3 vector turbo... so i know when the engine is boosting or not.. does my i/c pump need to be replaced? i have a 6 yr 100k mile warranty i bought with car-max because i know these cars have cooling issues. I dont race the car but i would like to have the power there when i need/want it, so my other question is what can i do to maximize the stock cooling system ie.. What coolant should i use and additives, what free simple mods should i do. Again I live in Orlando Florida so i dont think freezing protection is needed..but i want to keep corrosion down. any general consensus pointers would be appreciated... if i am hijacking this thread let me know and i will post a new one.
