Door sills,pedal upgrades, and floor mats. I got a mopar CAI on order. I am shopping around of the costs of upping the HP 50-100. Franks racing is the closest and has the most history in my area but I'm open to all shops. I want the HP and still have a daily driver that could go cross country. Jim

Is anyone of the lucky owners keeping track of the upgrades to their Challenger, and how it affects the performance, and possibly post them for the benifit of other owners and also us spectators.

Thanks
Bob
Stock original for me, all the way.

But for those who like to mod, have fun!

Only Mods Im planning on are:

CAI: MOPAR
Exhaust: Zoomers if I can afford it.
Door Sill Plates: MOPAR

And I want to get an aluminum colored center console and instrument panel cover to make the interior pop a bit. I think I saw a place to get the center cover, but no Idea how I will get the instrument panel done yet. I want it to look like the preproduction model in this pic.

Thanks, Ill look into it. Next question:
I was browsing around his morning and I came across this Mopar Exhaust system. Anyone have any info on this product yet? I'm just curious about how it sounds. They are $1698 at Mopar Supercenter. With a price comparable to the Zoomers, Im wondering if they are as good.

Part Number: P5155151
Heres the link:

108Challenger, how hard was it to get the insignia off the grille? Were they mounted with tape or screwed on?

There press on, challenger emblem has 3 areas you get your fingers behind them and push, pops right off. srt emblem has 2 just put your fingers in between the grill and push the brakets out. I think it looks awsome all black.

I will try but still can't seem to post more than a couple lines before a server error tosses it.

Front adjustable height coil overs
Rear adjustable ride height coil springs with outside shock same as stock
Stiffer valving but very comfortable, not adjustable.
List price is $1499 but can be had for less.

Built by KW

We are currently building a customers Challenger that is using a Mopar CAI, KooKs headers and X-pipe, Corsa cat back (one of the first!), GSM trans and fan controllers, custom stall converter, and a Diablo sport tuner. PLUS it is getting the Stage 2 coilovers.

I cannot dyno the car between mods to give you the break down but will after the build. This is mostly because it is brand new and partially because of logistics. It will be cool though. This same customer is also getting a 09' 6 spd. We will be installing much of the usable mods the same as the first car on the second with the addition of the first Production Paxton/Vortech S/C system. Needless to say this will be one sick ride even if it is 4000#!

I am lucky enough to be able to see hundreds of cars through the year based on the fact we are the largest Viper/SRT dealer/modification store in the world. We have specialized for years in Vipers and are lucky to have Viper owners willing to trust us with the purchase and modification of their new additions. I will try to be a useful part of your community and if you have any questions I may be able to help with please feel free to contact me day or night.
Please tell me more about the stage 2 coilovers!!
mjorgensen,
Thanks for your note. I've been in contact with Eibach, KW and Hotchkis for the last 9 months and still have no listing for order information! Even offered up my car for testing but they were looking for locals (SoCal) I'm in Washington state. Is the system you're talking about...The Dodge Charger listing KW has on thier website? Do you know if all the systems out there for the charger.....will fit the challenger? I'm an avid PCA,SCCA,WWSCC auto-crosser and road course participant...and plan on hitting some events with my Challenger! Any info you can share with me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
