Originally posted by Y2KSVT: what are is the stock boost setting on a stock SRT-4 turbo? What is max boost with the same turbo? If you can crank the stock turbo up by say, 8psi, you're making a LOT more power than stock, which should cut some significant time off of your 1/4 mile. But I really don't know much about the SRT-4 factory boost levels and what they are capable of.

Stock boost is about 14psi, sometimes spiking 15 and falls to ~12. Stock turbo can be turned up 8psi more but loses a bit of efficiency going that high and the stock wastegate,etc. won't hold that boost. The stock fuel system will also have a problem with that much boost. IIRC, my friend is spiking either 17 or 19psi and is having fuel cutout at higher rpms. He is putting in stage one computer next week to hopefully help with that.
