I just read that Chrysler is coming out with various upgrade performance kits for their Dodge SRT-4. Among other things, the Stage 3 kit will boost it to over 300 hp. Plus, they have a whole lot of other add-on packages available.

And how about those "Turbo Toys": (1) automatically or manually spray water to cool the turbo intercooler, (2) take full advantage of 100+ octane unleaded fuel, and (3) adjust the boost of the turbo with a handy dial. Turbo Toys include all of the necessary wiring, switches and mounting hardware required to operate these elements.

If I didn't love my Mystique so much I'd be extremely tempted to get one of these.

Why couldn't Ford do something like this for us?

Here's the link if you're curious: Dodge SRT-4 Tuner Treatment

Because then it would be faster than there flagship car. The mustang GT. Look at the Pontiac GTO or the actually called the Holden Monaro. Ford has the competition for that called the Ford Falcon. They couldn't bring that over either cause of the mustang. It has an available 5.4L V8.

The Srt-4 has had there stage 1 and stage 2 upgrade out for some time now. The stage 3 has a button that you push for when you put race gas (100 octane) in the car. Just sweet.

plus those factory upgrades do not void the warranty

It is still a Dodge....and the Fords will out sell them all day long. Plust the new Gto is getting trashed by everyone who reviews it.

Oops...apparently you need a password to logon to that link I posted. Would have been nice if Ford could have done a package like this. Here it is in full detail:

Dodge SRT-4 "Tuner Treatment" Continues Through Mopar© Performance

SRT-4 already the quickest production car under $21,000 �?? but Mopar Performance offering even more power

Stage 2 Turbo upgrade kit: An additional 30-50 horsepower (to 260-280 hp)

Stage 3 Turbo kit offers the ultimate: Over 300 horsepower

Center Line, Mich., May 10, 2004- Mopar®, Chrysler Group's parts and accessories brand, offers a complete line of performance upgrades designed to make the ultra-quick and ultra-popular Dodge SRT-4 even more desirable.

When Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology (SRT) engineers were given the challenge to make Dodge's new sport compact even quicker, they saw many tuner-inspired opportunities. The SRT-designed upgrades include �??go-fast�?� items such as turbo upgrade kits, upgraded suspension parts and transaxle modifications.

Dodge SRT-4 owners have been raving about the Mopar goods that are already available, and they�??re eagerly awaiting the next Mopar Performance products to arrive from the Mopar Performance Parts engineers at SRT. The parts are �?? or soon will be �?? available at local performance parts shops and Dodge dealers.

�??We engineered these parts with driving enthusiasts in mind,�?� said Dan Knott, Director �?? Street and Racing Technology. �?�Many aftermarket products for vehicles like the SRT-4 are focused on appearance. We aren�??t ignoring that, but our main concern is improving the driving performance of this highly capable vehicle. And we do that through products designed by enthusiasts on our team who �??walk the talk�?? when it comes to developing credible performance parts.

�??Our extensive line of products from Mopar Performance hits a home run in adding to the performance leadership of the Dodge SRT-4,�?� Knott added.

The Dodge SRT-4 was designed to appeal to the highly sought-after 16-to-27-year-old age group, but current sales statistics show that SRT-4 owners span an impressive range of ages from teenagers to baby boomers and beyond.



Mopar Performance Stage 1 Turbo Upgrade Kit

Mopar Performance offers the eye-opening Stage 1 Turbo Upgrade Kit, which pushes the power and performance of the 2.4-liter turbocharged engine in the Dodge SRT-4 to 240 horsepower and 260 ft.-lbs. of torque. The kit consists of four fuel injectors (2003 only; included on 2004 MY vehicles), which produce a 10 percent greater flow rate than stock injectors, and one Mopar Performance powertrain control module (PCM).

The PCM has been calibrated for increased wide-open throttle and part-throttle boost, more aggressive exhaust note during deceleration, improved turbo response, enhanced first-gear boost schedule for a higher performance launch, a boost hold feature during wide-open throttle shifts and optimized calibration for the Mopar Performance Blow-Off Valve (Part Number: P4510548 �?? sold separately).

Mopar Performance Stage 2 Turbo Upgrade Kit

The Stage 2 Turbo Upgrade Kit from Mopar Performance maximizes the stock turbo unit (Mitsubishi TD04LR-16GK-6cm2) of the Dodge SRT-4. Upgraded fuel injectors pumping at 682 cc/min are included in this kit, as are a Stage 2 PCM, a 3.0 Bar MAP sensor, a 3.0 Bar TIP sensor, and a high preload wastegate actuator.

Mopar Performance Stage 3 Turbo Upgrade Kit

If the Dodge SRT-4 pushes the envelope, the Mopar Performance Stage 3 Turbo Upgrade Kit for the SRT-4 tears that envelope to pieces. Stage 3, scheduled for release in mid-June, will add a larger turbo unit (Mitsubishi TD05HR-15GK2-10cm2) to help bump up the SRT-4�??s horsepower numbers over 300�?� and torque figures to 320 ft-lbs. (both unofficial figures). Stage 3 includes the injectors, MAP and TIP sensors from the Stage 2 Kit. Upgrades include the Stage 3 PCM with Stage 1&2 calibration features and Stage 3 settings, a high-flow (75 psi) fuel pump module, a demand-regulated fuel rail assembly and the new turbo.

The most notable part of the Stage 3 Kit is the hi-tech TD05HR-15GK2-10cm2 turbo unit (TD05 for short). This unit claims a 16 percent larger compressor wheel diameter to flow and compress more intake air. A 19 percent larger turbine wheel diameter flows more exhaust gas and reduces backpressure. The TD05 also boasts a 67 percent increase in turbine scroll area for reduced backpressure and more top end power.

Mopar Performance 2.4L Turbo Valve Covers

Mopar Performance knows how to improve the �??show�?� of the Dodge SRT-4, along with all of the products that target the �??go.�?� Powder coated valve covers enhance the under hood look and help owners add another touch of customization to their pride and joy.

Mopar Performance Short-Throw Shifter

The Mopar Performance Short-Throw Shifter is a direct, bolt-on, self-contained unit. It offers a dramatic improvement in shifting performance due in large part to reduced shifter travel or �??shifter throw.�?� In performance driving scenarios, the additional seconds �?? or fractions of a second �?? a factory-equipped shifter takes to go from one gear to another may result in slower lap times. The Mopar Short-Throw Shifter gives the racer a competitive advantage.

P4510485 �?? Mopar Performance Short-Throw Shifter MSRP $119



Mopar Performance Clutch

This performance clutch from Mopar Performance has a substantially increased torque capacity and is designed to accommodate power levels from the Stage 3 Turbo Upgrade Kit. The unit uses six damper springs instead of four, and the clutch disc and hub are completely unique. The clutch disc material can withstand higher friction. Perhaps the most significant highlight of this clutch is that the pedal feel is comparable to stock, as the pedal effort is only very slightly increased. Summer availability.

P4510647 �?? Performance Clutch MSRP TBA



Mopar Performance Limited-Slip Differential (LSD)

Mopar's limited-slip differential is another high-quality component that helps make the SRT-4 even quicker. The Quaife automatic torque-biasing (ATB) differential is available exclusively from Mopar. The unique design improves handling and steering, and powers both drive wheels under nearly all conditions. It senses which wheel has better grip and biases the power to that wheel. It does this smoothly and continuously, and without ever completely removing power from the other wheel. Note: This LSD is standard equipment on the 2004 Dodge SRT-4, but was not standard on 2003 cars.

P5007923 �?? Mopar Performance Limited-Slip Differential MSRP $1369

P4510588 �?? LSD Installation Kit MSRP $69



Mopar Coilover Suspension Kits

The Mopar Coilover Suspension Kits are a result of a partnership between Mopar Performance and KW Suspensions. Utilizing DaimlerChrysler specifications to ensure optimum performance, the kits feature new stainless steel INOX technology exclusive to Mopar Performance.

The Mopar Coilover Kits�?? thread design and aluminum spring perches allow SRT-4 owners to easily adjust vehicle height. Additionally, the special thread shape and specific properties of the polished suspension struts ensure that virtually no corrosion occurs �?? even after years of the strongest weather influences.

The basic Stage 1 suspension components include a set of higher rate drop springs (25 mm) that utilize production Dodge SRT-4 dampers and an anti-sway bar kit that features a 26 mm front bar and a triple adjustable 19 mm rear stabilizer. Both components will be available this summer.

The Stage 2 Mopar Coilover Suspension Kit is a complete height adjustable coilover system with lowering parameters to 30 mm. Its fixed-valve dampers are calibrated to provide a balance between �??comfortable�?� road feel and sporty driving.

Stage 3 Mopar Coilover Suspension Kits are height- and rebound-adjustable, with 50 percent more adjustability than fixed Stage 2 settings. This allows the driver to tune the SRT-4 suspension to even greater degrees, from a �??comfortable�?� ride, to sporty, to stiff �?? tailoring road handling to the driver�??s specific needs.

P4510454 �?? Stage 1 Anti-Sway Bar Kit Summer availability. MSRP TBA

Yeah, I wish the SVT Focus had the ability to outsell the SRT-4 too. I would have bought a Focus if it were faster. You got to admit, Dodge did it right with the SRT.
