Default if you could start back over?

If you could start back over and fix your srt-4 all over again what would be the first couple of mods that you would do

im thinking about this
1.catch can to keep my intercooler clean from oil
2.dogbone motor mounts (unless there is something better to stop wheel hop)
3.borla exhaust (for better breathing and a few hp)
4.aem or iceman or k&n (which has the best sound cause really dont get much hp)
5.catch can for intake to keep oil out
6.turbo xs flange kit for bov
7.loud bov
8. bigger turbo like agp t3/t4 turbo .60 trim but i dont know much about that stuff and the cost so thats something i need some schooling on []
9.bigger fuel injectors to support the turbo and s1
10.walbro fuel pump
11.better intercooler to keep that bad boy cool
12. greedy protec to set my psi so i cant kill my turbo at least i hope
13.apexi turbo time so i can cool my ride and clean the turbo a little

i would love to do all of that i hope im going in the right direction im not sure or what i would need for the agp turbo any help would be awsome
my goal is near 400hp and run in the 12's [8D]

Sounds good to me, it's one of the best I've seen as far as the order in which they are done. Don't forget to change the plug wires, for less chance of failure and for much stronger spark.

If I were you, I'd include Mopar Stage 1 springs and some better swaybars somewhere in that list, preferably near the top.

if i could start over i'd by a different intake and i wouldn't have bothered with inserts, i would have gotten a solid mount from the start. other than that i think i'm pretty pleased with my mod path....

Don't forget about your fuel and oil!!! And the filters for those as well! The Mopar oil filters aren't the best, I'd go with either NAPA Gold or Mobil 1 or even K&N. Use a quality gas that has been proven to clean your engine (like Chevron with Techron additive) and a quality SYNTHETIC oil like Mobil 1 or Amsoil (every 3 months or 3,000 miles - forget the BS on extended oil changes on a turbocharged engine, even Amsoil admits you need to follow the recommended numbers.....)

I wouldn't change anything. I'm still starting the modding process and I agree with your list for the most part. For my next few additions this is what I'm planning on:

1. MSD 8.5mm wires and NGk Iridiums
2. OCC (prolly a couple ghetto ones)
3. MP/x STB
4. Prothane Race Mount Inserts
5. Mopar S1 Springs
6. Mopar Sway Bar Kit
7. Mopar S1
And thats all I can remember off the top of my head for now. I drive my car like a 90 year old lady, so I don't have a need for alot more power. s1 would be my ultimate goal for power, then I'll just go after the looks aspect of it. Too much power is a bit scary to me right now.. [>:]

i don't think i'd change the route i when on neither. on my now retired 2003; i went with stage 1 turbo, quaife lsd, stage 3 coilover, progress rear sway, k&n airfilter in stock air box, mopar sts, borla exhaust, powder coated valve cover, mopar bov, vibrant front stb, and upgraded heads and fogs w/ silvannia silverstars. with my current 2004: stage 3 coils, progress rear sway, k&n typhoon cai, mopar sts, borla exhaust, powder coated valve cover, mopar bov, dc sport front and rear stb's, greddy oil catch can, and upgraded heads and fogs w/ silvannia silverstars. cheapo upcoming mods include mopar 3-d tails and another catch can. buku bucks mods are mopar front and rear sways and i still debating about either stage 2 w/ toys or going all the way with the stage 3 w/ toys. like sexysrtchick said with the stage 1 it had a ton of grunt (stock too!), i'm afraid what stupidity i'd ravage with 300bhp+..........oh, the images[8D]

those may be good things you listed for performance, but looks-wise, all SRT-4s absolutely 100% need aftermarket springs to drop the car...it looks infinite times better dropped than it does stock

yeah, i have to agree with you there 200srt4, but i did list the mopar/kw stage 3 coilover kit, which is adjustable for ride height and recoil. so my srt-4 isn't at standard ride height and i forgot mention the camber adjustment nuts i had installed when i got it alligned. performance for my srt-4 has always been paramount in deciding which mods to pick up, it just so happns this one happens to made my srt-4 look pretty sharp too.
