There are not a lot of mods out there for the 4.7. Its a different motor than the easily modded 3.9/5.2/5.9 line up. These are OHC modern motors that are not easyly modded like the old school OHV motors.

You can get HO cams and a s/c'er and of course the obvious; tuners,exhaust,intake, ect,ect.

yeah, plus the fact that now that the 5.7 hemi is the coolest thing on the block, i would bet that the 4.7 market is going to be even further ignored.

There just simply isn't a demand for expensive modular motor parts. OHV motors are old school tech and easy to make the parts and have been in production for years. The newer motors have more R&D involved and would make them expensive and there is no market for that.

I have an ATI Procharger system available for $2k if you're interested. There's a thread in the for sale area, or you can send me a PM.

Yes I have seen all the Top Gear Episodes. That one was entertaining. Don't care to much for Jeremy, but enjoy James, Richard & the Stig. The episode across the desert was cool. I like the looks of the CTS-V, but if I was going to buy one I would go with the Retro Challenger.
