Good point. Driver makes up a big part of it. You beat on something long enough even slightly, and something has to give. How about looking at more 300fwhp SRT4's built fairly in the same mannor and let's see if they also give out. Either way.....I'll still be driving my CSVT

So, reliability issue number two for having 300 wHP in an SRT-4....in the same car. He is a hard driver though!
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.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
