Ok now since all I plan to do is cruise with this vehicle (no racing except occasional open throttle on freeway) what mods if any would you suggest I make to a new car? PS what is an oil catch can?

 

If you're not going to "race" it, the SRT-4 is plenty fast as is...
Stage upgrades are popular as are aftermarket exhaust systems and CAIs. What you add is your personal preference.

An Oil Catch Can "catches" the oil that gets blown past the PCV valve. It's a simple install on the line between the PVC valve and the throttle body.....takes maybe 10 minutes, even for me.

 

drop in filter, oil catch can, and 8.5mm wires if your not goin to race. those are just needed IMO.

 

Yeah you need new spark plug wires, and a drop-in, Gump is right. And the OCC is also neccessary because of the way the oil likes to shoot its way around the engine bay settling where it doesnt belong.

You could go all visual. CF Hood, CF Decklid, Eyelids, Rims, Suspension....etc. Thats up to you. But Gump's right.

 

Hopefully you'll uphold the "honor" of the SRT-4 and keep the "bling" items to a minimum!

 

If you just want to compliment the SRT-4's power and performance then just do the little things that enhance the performance, sound and appearance. The oil catch can and MSD Super Conductor plug wires are the cheapest and easiest to start off with. You will definately want the Mopar blow off valve (BOV), it gives you that beautiful PSSSHHHTTT!!! sound every time you let off the throttle when you are in or near boost. The Mopar cat-back exhaust looks great and adds more performance, it's made by Borla and has a deeper tone than the stock exhaust not to mention that the tips are larger and fill out the bumper cut outs better. A good CAI will add more performance as well as letting you hear the turbo whistle nicely, I prefer and have the K & N Typhoon CAI myself. Motor mount inserts will transfer more power to the ground quicker and help to eliminate wheel hop. The Mopar short throw shifter will cut out quite a bit of the shift throw. Strut tower braces are also very nice and help stiffen up the car giving it a much more solid feel through the curves and twists. The Mopar Stage 1 upgrade will bring the CAI, exhaust and the BOV together nicely with far greater performance and sounds. Wider tires will also help out with the launching and the handling which need the help with this much power.
