yeah the 3.7 is the red headed step child engine, good luck finding anything for it besides an intake and a cat back exhaust

I found out that the same superchips programmers used for the 4.7 will work even though it doesn't say it will. Other than that I haven't found much other than a bored out throttle body from www.fastman.com.then of course you can do intake and exhaust I have a cat back SI/DO on my 04 3.7 with a flowmaster super 44 and it sounds good. If you find more stuff please post it up!

I just checked their application list. It most definitely does not list the 3.7L engine.

I just ordered the fastman throttle body. After the throttle body, I will look into putting in a taurus efan and freeing up some power.

I found a taurus efan at a local parts recycler for $40 and they'll pull it for me. I asked them to preserve as much of the wiring harness as possible.

I received and installed my Fastman Throttle Body today. It took about 45 mins with cleaning everything off. I am pleased with the difference. There is more throttle response and it has changed the tone of both my intake and my exhaust.
