Default what to do with 500hp...

alright..so..like i said in my last posting, i just bought my '03 srt-4 for 12,800 and its got almost everything you can do without hitting the internals... it sucks that i am not able to do the work myself, as i just do not have the financial ability to put that kind of money into the car, so i had to buy it with everything. all together, on race gas @ 28psi it makes 486whp, on pump gas at 22psi it makes 411whp...

the day the car arrived, i drove for about an hour before i broke something... (i think an input shaft, maybe the clutch or gear selector or axle) so its in the shop today...

anyway....does anyone have any suggestions as to things i need to do to keep this car running great...or running at all???

here's a list of mods:
AEM EMS

just watch your plugs and wires, and do frequent boost leak checks. don't forget to do the regular maintenance stuff like oil changes every 3mo/3k and changing the tranny fluid every 10-12k.....

well, you can go by where you are peaking/holding. if its lower than normal chances are you have a boost leak. you can also make a homemade boost-leak detector. just a fancy name for something you make out of crap from home depot that plugs the system at the end so you can 'pump' up some pressure inside it and check for leaks. run a search on it, should come back with a full how-to
