uh....

i don't think the gains are worth the hassle...but the r/t i would imagine would be easier.

srt swap would give you a huge booooost in your performance

You can also do the pt cruiser turbo swap same motor as the srt4 and alot cheaper and more simple to do overall.

Yes, but nothing will compare to a factory turbo'd SRT engine that was designed to take the pressure of a good turbo system.

It would be a lot safer and reliable to do the srt swap if your eventual plans are forced induction.

If you do go this route, you need to buy an SRT-4 intake manifold, TB, and cold side pipe.

Also the R/T's bottom end is no different than a SE/SXT... so it won't hold more power. Only dif is intake/exaust manifolds, head, cam, & ECU. And with all that you'll only see a 20hp gain

i swapped the head and cam, since the head flows better and the cam is comparable to a crane 10. It can be done on the R/T ECU but with the extra timing advance i didn't want to push my luck.

Just trade your car in for an SRT-4. Problem solved.
