RE: Stage 3
Sexy? Huh? The rev limit for stock SRT-4s (all years) is 6240.
Rev limit for Stage 2 and Stage 3 cars is 6500, again, all years.
Now, about 05 Stage kits. they are expected shortly, but are not out yet. If you order an 05 kit, you are on a waiting list.
Sexy's right that there's no performance difference, but it is an issue that most folks wouldn't want to deal with.
See, 05s dont have a battery temp sensor, or it's wiring, or its programming. Since an 03 or 04 PCM would be looking for that sensor and not finding it, you get a battery temp sesnor code you cannot erase, and a constant battery warning light.
I won't tell you where to buy, but I have not seen prices lower than MPSC or Southeast Performance besides Ebay, and I would be hesitant buy a high dollar part from there. If you have any issues, such as the just discovered washer issue with the first S3 kit, you got somebody to call.
The washer thing is a glitch where the wrong size crush washers were in the kits, Mopar is fixing it as we speak. Point is that some bozo off Ebay might make you call Mopr and wait for the wheels to turn. A good vendor will run that ball for you.

RE: Stage 3
I agree, ebay Stage Upgrades are questionable at best. Stick with DF recommended vendors, many of the others will just cost you time and money.
