Default The single most satisfying SRT6 modification.

Owning a dead stock SRT6, I recently took advantage of the Eurocharged S/C pulley, ECU, and TCU package. The bang for the buck is huge! When we installed the pulley I was pleased with the increase in power, torque, and responsiveness. Later when we added the ECU and TCU reflash, I wasn't prepared for the transformation! Had no idea software could so radically improve performance. The S/C pulley and ECU reflash combination will make my rear tires toast before spring.

The TCU reflash is a masterpiece and worth every penny. If I was allowed to make just one modification and never make another, this would be it. I had become so disgusted with the stock Autostick operation I ended up leaving it in Auto most of the time. My gripe of course was the unpredictability and huge delay in the mushy upshifts and downshifts. Even in manual mode, the trans still had a mind of it's own, resulting in too many embarrassing situations. This TCU mod fixes what was wrong and makes things work the way they should have from the factory. I find myself using manual mode most of the time now, enjoying quick, firm (not punishing) shifts, always knowing the trans will do exactly what I ask it to. Great job Eurocharged, and thanks Jerry.

glad to hear you like the mod...still on my list... I don't see a CAI listed as a mod...you haven't done this, or not going to do it? It will make a huge difference as well....

Your title says "The most satisfying srt6 modification",,, for me it was installing the "V8" Bar none!

No Needs Wings dual intake, but not because I don't like them. I have to admit I'd like to put one on and see what difference it makes. I love the S/C whine they unleash, but that's exactly the problem. Those kinds of noises attract law enforcement attention. I prefer to be anonymous (my car's graphite). I'm not counting one out in the future, but for now I'm satisfied with sneak speed.

I was looking at a DCAI for a while but with it not CARB I decided 800 was a no go. I cant stand the law enforcement in CA right now. Officer said one time "pop your hood", I responded "what is the probable cause?" He said "because your young and I told you to" (pulled over for no legitimate reason). Thank goodness I had no mods at the time (this was a few years ago). Anyway... Sneaky mods in CA are the only way to go.

amx1397 of course you're right. I should have said 3.2 liter Supercharged modification.

By the way, does the amx in your name refer to late and great AMC AMX? Years ago I had a '68 390.

Age has it's advantages, I'm an old fart and stuff like that doesn't happen to me anymore... so I try not to give them probable cause.

I'm thinking a NeedsWings DCAI might sneak by the visual since there aren't many SRT6s in SoCal, so the smog techs are not familiar with what to expect under the hood. For sure it will pass tailpipe. I don't know if the left and right tubes are symmetrical so they can be swapped, putting the NeedsWings logo (sorry NeedsWings) hidden on the bottom.

Even if it's just a single, a CAI is almost necessary to "wake up" these motors. Will be doing the SC pulley and ECU tune next year, since I was given the go ahead by Kim. But seriously, she needs to breathe!

Are you having any problems with the TCU not holding gear, or hitting off the limiter when in manual mode?

I have to agree about the auto. I hated stomping the gas when the car was in 3 grand range and the car wouldn't downshift.

I don't know if it's just me, but the auto stick down shifts seemed rough on the tranny.
