    What`s up Everybody? New member here with a charger SRT8.....this is my first mopar, so i`m not super technical on these cars yet, but i`m learning quickly. I look foward to meeting and talking with all of you. I have a ton of mods i`m going to be doing, so i will have lot`s of qeustions. I will be doing heads and a cam by INERTIA motorsports and a PROCHARGER or i may just do a 426 stroker. I will be changing halfshafts and putting in a LSD and alot of other stuff.

    I am deff using STU! I have been in our local Modern Mopar group for about 6 months now and i have gotten to know Stu and his cars very well! I am 99% sure that i will stroke it, cuz i would rather stay naturally asperated on the motor. Probably will do the torque convertor as well. I am going to buy a brandnew block so i can take the origanal 6.1 and sell it or keep it in the garage for back-up, but i will prob sell it, cuz if it sits to long the seals will dryrot on me. Does anyone know if i really need the Torque Convertor and since im pulling the motor and tranny it prob makes sense to go ahead and do it then? Our tranny`s are sopposed to be good til 750 RWHP, but i have been told that the torque convertor would make it alot more responsive

    Welcome to the Connection. Glad to hear your working with Stu for your stroker. There are very few vendors/people out there that you will deal with who are as honest and hardworking as Stu. And he builds a mean engine to boot! I have a 407 Stu-built stroker, so I speak from experience.
