badsrt4 i agree with the in cold weather you shouldnt. so i see your problem. and the subs could be it they could have uncalabrated your gauge.

and sexy i think my srt4 is quick for stock. i beat 2 litely moded srts when i was stock. could have just been driving but i wasnt that good back then.

Yeah thats what I'm saying, I've beaten cars that I had no right beating....and its not just one or two cars either. Its a ****load of them. Camaro SS, 2002 Cobra CV Mustang, EVOs, STIs, other modified SRT-4s. And I'm not that great of a driver, I'm a good manuverer, but I'm not the almighty stick driver as of yet, This is my first standard, and I had to teach myself how to drive one. Maybe theres a few like ours who came out of the factory on steroids....

I am not that familiar with the turbo set-up and specs on the SRT-4, but I did read somewhere on here that in cold weather the boost would be lowered until the car warmed up or somethin like that. Does the SRT-4 have a overboost safety, I know other turbo cars that do, if so, I would not worry about overboost. I had an 86 daytona turbo that I got to boost at 16psi on stock internals. The stock boost was 8psi and 10psi from 3000-4000rpm, if I rember correctly, but I know I ran it at 16 for over 2 years and never had a problem except for the tree that killed her.

The SS sounded like an Automatic (not sure if those came in autos), some Gino *** Carvone guy who thought his car was badass.....and was behind me on an on-ramp off 295 Northbound to Route 6 Eastbound, he was riding my ***, i was going 30...I JAMMED it into first (tough to do past 20 in these cars) and ****in TOOK off, no cars in front of us....he kissed my Mopar 3d tails goodbye. Then I shut off at 130ish and he was probably 5-7 cars behind me and still fading...then he flies by me (I'm still going 125)and I smelt that burning nitrous smell......I was like....uhmmmm why didn't you use that earlier idiot? LOL

The only thing I can't stand about beating STis is they're SO DAMN UGLY I hate staring at them in my rearview....lol then again they're hideous from all angles

Once you get the digital gauge youll regret keeping the stock gauge in there so long. They're so damn exact its not even funny.
