So... I splurged and have a question
I'll post the results in the "What did you do to your Crossfire today" thread when it happens.
I see.. I see.. and come to find out my power steering is leaking. HA! Gotta love hearing that right before I get home. Well guess I'll be fixing and upgrading the car when I get back!
I have received an email for delivery now. Just the DCAI and lower y-pipe so far but parts are starting to make there way!
Just waiting on the intake manifolds, down pipes, and electric exhaust cut outs!

Soundz - in your list of goodies....you should think about a wideband AFR gauge...and then you will know if you need an upgrade....or am I missing something?
If she's reading high...don't get on it until you upgrade???

Down pipes and manifolds.
Received the the dcai intake the other day and lower y-pipe. Sadly though a hole got punched in the box and one of the short pieces of piping fell out and some of the hose clamps.... so install is on hold till figure out what can be done about getting the pieces that are missing.
Already emailed Rob and hope to hear back soon!
Well after a little confusion on what parts I was missing from the DCAI that came in I am good to go! Got the parts that were needed since the box got punctured in transit but Rob cleared it all up and helped me get the few small pieces that fell out. Only a few clamps it appears.
DCAI installed about 2 hours ago... and what can I say!? Dear lord have mercy! If that is what it sounds like with just that I can't imagine what it will sound like once the intake manifolds and downpipes get in!
Took it for a good ride down the freeway to get a feel and already pulling harder.
May have run across a ZL1 and ran him up to about 130 before he kept going. Decided that was enough for the time... that ticket would be a tad much.
But overall rating 5 stars for sure!!! Plus just looks great!

Well it has finally been completed. For now at least.
Has the intake manifolds, valve covers, and downpipes with cut outs all installed. Also replaced the plugs during the whole thing.
All I can say is after driving it a bit and letting the computer adjust this thing is a beast! Cut outs closed it sounds close to stock but with a definite change when WOT. Cut outs open... dear lord have mercy. The thing sounds insane!! Very intense but makes it fun as hell when just ripping it up.
Put it on the dyno and it proved to be very consistent. Not where I was thinking I'd be with these mods but it gets me closer I'll post the dyno sheet.
356hp & 341 tq.
Had a few pulls were the torque did reach 346 but this dyno sheet only shows the 341 pull. Since we have anywhere from 15 to 22% drivetrain lose I should be around 409 to 434 hp at the crank I believe. Based on simple math but could obviously be wrong.
Overall enjoying the car so much right now and having a blast. Just looking for the 400 to the wheels at some point but in due time.
Now to stay with performance mods or start working on the visual. Interior and stereo are done. Only area I haven't touched is the exterior.... may be time...

Your right where you should be with those mods. (IMO and based on my car) Have fun learning to control it. It should now break loose rolling up to full throttle in 2nd with street tires. Not flooring it, rolling gently to full throttle. Fun!

I am interested and don't even have a SRT.
Glad to hear thats where it should be and nothing is messed up. Been having a blast with it lately. And yes my tires are going to get worn quickly!
Well thank you and yeah I thought when I started the thread that it would've been finished way earlier so I thought no one was reading. But just happy it is done now! Well performance wise for now. I feel the exterior needs some attention now!
