I picked up an '05 black srt6 for a great deal a couple weeks ago that is bone stock. She needs tires and a tune up but has really been fun to drive and now I have the bug.

I have been busy reading for about two weeks about all the mods that everyone has done. I am impressed with how objective xfire owners feedback appears to be and appreciate all the knowledge and experience that has been shared.

I am trying to decide what and when to do what and would like suggestions. I would appreciate help and suggestions with the list below to be prioritized, added to, recommendations against, etc. I did not prioritize the list below, just colored the items that I think I would like to do first and second. I realize that everyone will have a different direction and motivation depending what the goal is going to be with their xfire. I do think however that we would all like to increase power and handling while trying to maintain dependability and efficiency.

For my personal agenda I am hoping to first, get the right stance and look with wheels, tires, and suspension. Then it will be performance mods in a sensible order. I, like most of us, have a budget and would only be able to invest slowly through the year. I'm not sure how practical my wants are but I eventually would like to have the already fun and fast srt6 modified into a car capable of excelling in rally, drift, drag, and street racing (safely of course).

I made the list below, then added it up...... Didn't realize the mods would be more than the car. There are no short/long block mods either, all bolt ons. This doesn't even include stopping the modded xfire with upgraded brakes! I guess the term, if you want to play you gotta pay applies.
