Unhappy Running hot, check engine light on, advise

Hi guys,


I just bought my first SRT6 on Monday. It has 66K miles and the previous owner put a Eurocharger stage one performance pack on it with a 185 pulley, ECU and TCU turning. Absolutely love it and am convinced I made the right choice. However today I was out and I was hammering it on the highway getting used to how it drives. I drove about twelve miles and then I noticed that the car was starting to smell warm for lack of a better word, and I thought it might be from the tires but the check engine light had come on, even though the car seemed like it was running fine.


So I drove the car back home slowly, stopped and got a bit to eat and when I started the car back up the light was off. Am I just overheating and do I need a Needswings intercooler, or would a CAI intake solve the problem (I have one in them mail,) or is this something more serious that I need to address?


Thanks,


Dan
