I wouldnt think you could raise the psi up much more without damage to the engine.

i don't know i don't have one, but i do know they are a pretty tough lil motor. they have facotry upgrades for it that up the boost/bigger turbo. i am not sure if they replace the internals with the upgrades Dodge sells for it, but i doubt it.

That motor has got to be able to handle atleast 22 psi as I ran that in my 87 GN and it had 120K on the original everything. I had 50 passes in 5 years at the dragstrip w/o a problem

As I said, the 13.4 was just BC, motor mounts, intake, and 215 wide nitto neo gens.
I don't see how that is a second faster than he is supposed to run. A stock srt4 runs 14.2 easily with a decent driver and his has more boost. Though Cecil is a very good track, his 60' times,etc. are comparable to what he has ran at our 1/8 mile strip.
Demon, you have to remember that weight is a bit different, tranny is different, suspension is different, and of course driver. So that all can account for a bit lower HP car beater a higher HP car.
Any maybe his car is slightly a factory freak. It does seem to be a tad bit faster than other srt4s with same mods.

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.

To compare cars they'd have to run at the same track. 
I even told you what the modified SRT-4's run at our local track. Nothing too special. I have yet to see any modified ones break 100mph.
I saw one at the track out in Rock Falls running like 12's... it was definitely not stock but it was moving it was doing over 110 or 120 i might even have a video of it, LOL he let his gf drive it and she managed a 13.5

So those are minimal mods to you? How much does a new FMIC set someone back....$500? Exhaust work for a 3" dump, BOV?
This guys got at least an extra grand into the motor. 
I'm so tired of second hand stories. Hell, of course he's gonna tell you his car does that with minimal mods...it makes his car look better and everyone think he's a better guy for choosing the "best" car. He probably has a 50 shot under the hood you don't know about if those times are actually real.
Therefore I stand by what my eyes have seen in AZ and Texas and at the two tracks I went to, and that is NO SRT-4 stock has made it into the 13's. NONE. PERIOD, while I was there. That would be at least 5 different cars and drivers with multiple runs each. When I watch mid 90's corvettes only pulling 13.6's stock with 300+ HP and rear drive in the same night, what makes you think a fuggin tin can like the srt-4 is going to top that without a lot of help? BONE STOCK '05 cobra supercharged models would roll in off the show room floor and turn around 13.5's and around 105-108 MPH trapps. REAR WHEEL DRIVE.
So tell me again how a lightly modded SRT-4 can do better than this?
The only STOCK cars I saw pulling 13.0 or less were corvettes, late models. They were running mid 12's at 115mph bone stock.
Hell, my volvo is turbo and it has 218HP, almost what an SRT-4 has stock. My car is capable of high 14's stock. Real world results are showing 14.9-15.1 are the times people are getting with it.
So if the shoe fits, wear it. People should educate themselves and stop being BS'd or BS'ing other people.

See, now that sounds reasonable with a lot of time and money into mods.
But come and tell me he's doing that stock and..............

just to poke fun a bit...03 and 04 were the only supercharged cobras...but my old boss had one...he had a catback K&N and short shifter and ran 13.4 stock tires. That is at 4400 elevation and 100 degrees.
The same day I ran my WS6 410 to the wheels at 13.2 @108.5
Although I don't claim to be the best driver...I had only run it that day...so I imagine with practice and little cooler weather I could have been high 12's.
