If you really want GO faster, Sell the one you have and go buy an SRT-6 model.

Its the only sure fire way and its a lot less expensive that messing around with add-ons

Tomtom. Believe that I have the only running turbo'd NA Crossfire.
Here's some of the info on it.
I don't drive it (or my other Crossfires) due to knee issues. $4,500 and the only running turbo NA Crossfire can be yours!

Is that the one Corky built? Did it actually perform any better?

If there IS a Fall Dragon. You did see where Fontana Lodge is thinking about cancelling their lease, right ?
And BTW, I've seen the electric turbo, those Aussie lads did a video on one

Yes , I had one too. It was running, had Josh do some work on the computer parts. I piggy-backed it with after market management system. Couldn't stand the sound of the oil pump. The company that was doing final tuning closed the business, sold the Dyno machine. It ran, but I was always was fine tuning and playing with it. Without the Dyno machine, it was almost impossible to fine tune. Mine was a rear mounted Turbo.
Never found out final H.P. but there was a lot more than stock H.P. Got tired of the noise, so ripped it out and donated the parts to a High school.
Still driving the Crossfire and loving it.
Pictures of the build are in my profile.
Stay safe
Bart

There is now available a TRUE electric turbo for about $2500 that will deliver up to 6 PSI ( .4 BAR ), which is about all a NA engine can handle safely.
