I'd more go along the lines of thinking it ran lean and then developed engine problems myself.
Though 300 wheels from 4-cylinders is a lot of stress for stock components even considering Mopar planned for the stock engine to make over 300HP with the 3 upgrade stages.
However what is in the Stage 3 package remains to be seen???


SRT-4 owners DO NOT bring up the fact that the block and heads are used in some of the drag engines because we all know that's not with the stock gaskets (head mainly), head bolts, bearings, et cetera.

The block and heads are never going to be the first failure point anyway.
