It may be worth it for those who want a manual transmission....."The Mopar Hellcrate HEMI Engine Kit is optimized for use with manual transmissions, including the Mopar Tremec Magnum transmission kit."

this is interesting, considering it only raises the car 1.5".
​​​​can we say pikes peak :)
but problem I see is different height tires, puts alot on strain on drivetrain, something will break.
or there was a guy in Indiana I think did a sas front and rear and on 35"
:)

😏 Sounds like a project for when I retire in two more years, I figured by then my Roadster will have very little resale value except to me of course.

it hasn't yet but we are working on it. getting the computer is a major project ( you know we have to cut over 300 wires and put back together to the crossfire wires ) example the lighter wires are brown and brown with white strip (not really just example) the new wires to connect the lighter are blue with white strip and white with blue strip , so brown w/white strip goes to white w/blue strip . otherwise the lighter will not work,,,,and so on and so on , when we get it ,I'll drive it and post it. jim

That is one unbelievable post, if it is anywhere near the truth I wouldn't give him the time of day let alone any money. Sounds like the turbocharged Crossfire story here that sat around for years, only worse.
