I am going to be the old fart and tell you to stay out of street racing and keep it on the track...Alright now that I am done preaching Iwill get to the business.

First, I would investigate a 2.4 if you are willing to do the DOHC swap, just do the DOHC 2.4 swap instead.

As much as you like to go remember that you have to stop, look into a rear disc conversion kit, and power slot rotors for the front.

Dont waste your time with the intakes on ebay unless you find an iceman, the rest are a waste. You will be better off with the stock set up and a new K&N air filter.

If you are going to do exhaust do it right...Fu$# the fart can and get a real exhaust, midas sells a nice stainless version for our cars, and I like the exhaust tone.

There are many other tid bits but these are a few to get yu started, and dont fall for the ebay computers, they suck, get a Mopar Performance Computer for your year or get an AF/x for your year, those are the only two worth the money.
how much different is a 2.4L DOHC from a 2.0L DOHC engine?

would there be any reason to do a swap from a 2.0 to a 2.4? any gains from it?

only swap in the srt internals if you're goin turbo, the internals are low compression. unless you got a turbo you wont b gettin as much power.

Getting a 2.4 and putting in SRT-4 internals and turbo is a cheaper version of the SRT-4 engine.
