Default Let's gain some clarity

I find this group very helpful in diagnosing issues and such, but as all open forums, that valuable information is laced with "it is right" vs "it is wrong" discussions...everything becomes a toss up.

I give cudos to those here that are pushing these cars to their limits on the track (and sometimes on the road) to see what works and what does not. However, as those that test and tune away seek ever faster SRT6s there is a big difference between these cars and the solutions being employed and the normal daily driven vehicle.

So with that said, what do you guys think of setting some standard for posting issues/upgrades/tests so that everyone is able to identify if this new mod is ready for prime time or not. What I am suggesting here is that if someone is trying out a new part number that they indicate the old part number and replacement part number, identify if the car is a daily driver (+miles per week) or a track car (how often do they run a month), and report on durability 30/60/90 days out from the change over. If this mod is related to tuning indicate improvements to performance, 90 day check back on any issues related to changes, and if the car is a daily road car (+ miled driven per week) or a track car (how much track time is being seen by the car per month).

I ask because we could then start related threads that everyone could post under that would provide a single location for issues and give everyone a better sense of real world use, applications, and how well these changes hold up over time. Not to mention a great section for owners years from now to search when parts become sparse, models updated, and solid advancements from hours of track time by the DIY engineers here on the forum.

Nice idea but way too much work unless you're offering to moderate. just kidding

2nd best option is to check onehundred80's post first.

Well, not many JUST track their car, but there are a lot of daily drivers. I can only speak for SRT's, but the basic mods for an SRT have been constant. Some sort of CAI, a Pulley, some sort of Intake mod, and a tune to bring them all together. Some or should say many different approaches to improve cooling. None of which have really completely solved heat soak problems. I just read and follow some the guys that are doing this. We went through the rear end issues, but only a handful of us fixed the the diff problem, others are content to take the risk, some have lasted a long time. Way too many personalities taking their own paths to gain HP...some are good, some are a waste of time. But you never know until you try I guess. So, bottom line is, we can't even agree on mods let alone a thread...
