I’ve read some posts and it’s either I’ve read it’s tough, some I’ve read it’s easy. But which is it?! Haha. I have a NA engine in a 2004. I want to get the srt6 engine and swap it. Got this car like a week ago to fix up and give to my dad as a Father’s Day gift. Is it worth to try and swap it out? Or some other way to get some more power/torque/giddeup in my stock engine?

 

Some say it is worth it to spend goobs of $ for a gift, others say OMG you did WHAT????? My thougths, BUY AN SRT-6. You will save a LOT OF $. Then again, there is that you 'ONLY' spent what???. LOL...

it would be a great project to undertake with Dad
it will bring you closer together

my advice is to purchase a complete donor car

or
purchase all of the required parts from Many donors. I. Any event it won’t be cheap, bring your wallet

 

Well it’s a surprise for him so he has no idea. I just wanted to get info on, ****, whatever I could to spruce up the horsepower. But yeah. Money. Lots of money.

 

a few less expensive options are
cold air intake
ECU tune
TCU tune
74mm throttle body
cat delete

these won’t break the bank
and the two of you can do these together

you’ll see an improvement to HP

youre Dad is going to love the car in any form.
what a great surprise

 

Alright. Specific guy I should talk to about ecu, tcu tunes? I appreciate the cheaper route. Anyway to give that throttle a little more kick.

 

u had mine done at Eurocharged in Texas

I understand that they may no longer be offering this on the XF but there are several others

I know one one the other forum members will chime in

great source for performance items is Needswings contact Rob

post a few pics, everyone here likes Crossfires

 

Without spending a fortune you will be hard pressed to exceed 200 hp at the rear wheels with mods.
Save time, energy and $$$, sell the car you have and get an SRT that gives you about 100 hp from the get go with no mods.
