    I would like to add Kooks headers to the package and maybe the Quaife and minus the Predator because I already have one.

    It will most likely be around $8000ish installed.

    What do you guys think? Worth the money?

    HHP BES Stage 2 Ported & Polished Heads & Intake and Custom Cam: 6.1L SRT-8 Installation Package
    SKU: HHP61HICIIS

    New Record Holders:
    Congrats Mao P., First N.A. Stock Short Block SRT-8 in the 11's All Motor! Full Weight! 11.75 @ 117 mph, 2/20/08 at Sacramento Raceway, CA. HHP Stage 2 Customer.
    Congrats John K., Second N.A. Stock Short Block SRT-8 in the 11's All Motor & Fastest Trapped 1/4 Mile Speed, N.A. Stock Short Block SRT-8. Full Weight! 11.98 @ 116.9 mph, 12/15/07 at Atco Raceway, NJ. HHP Stage 2 Customer.

    Working with noted Engine Builder Tony Bischoff of BES Racing Engines, Winner of the 2006 JEGS Engine Masters Challenge and one of the best engine builders in the US today, we have developed a new line of 6.1L Cams and Ported and Polished Heads & Intakes specifically made for the 6.1L SRT-8 engine. Our Stage 2 package is designed by HHP and BES to make incredible amounts of power while at the same time keeping your SRT-8 streetable with no loss in driveability - a problem plaguing most aftermarket combinations Our HHP/BES packages are tested and safe enough to use on an everyday driver while giving you an edge over the competition at the track.

    Package Includes:

    HHP Ported & Polished Cylinder Heads
    HHP BES Ported & Polished Intake Manifold
    Valve Spring & Titanium Retainer Upgrades
    HHP Stage 2 Custom Camshaft
    Pro Torque 2800rpm stall torque converter
    Diablosport Predator Handheld Tuner
    Custom HHP Stage 2 CMR Street and/or Race Tune
    Required Gaskets/Bolts
    Required Fluids including Royal Purple Synthetic Oil
    Professional Installation at HHP
    Custom Cam Specs:
    Gross Valve Lift: 0.547 Intake /0.553 Exhaust
    Duration @ .006 Tappet Lift: 269 Intake / 277 Exhaust
    Duration at .050: 220 Intake / 228 Exhaust
    Lobe Lift and Lobe Separation: A special combination designed specifically to run with the 6.1L engine.

    Even we are amazed at how well the SRT-8 takes to our Stage 2 package. Your SRT-8 will operate beautifully with absolutely NO SIDE-EFFECTS!!! Idle is smooth as can be but the additional power had us spinning the rear tires at 60 mph and full throttle with our test vehicle. Get up to 600 crank horsepower with this custom HHP package.

    Test Vehicle: 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT-8
    Base Performance Mods:
    1. Magnaflow Cat-Back
    2. Magnaflow High-Flow Mid-Pipes*
    3. MOPAR Performance Intake
    *At customers request, we replaced the Magnaflow catted mid-pipes with Kooks long tube headers and high flow catted downpipes. Dyno Results do reflect slight gain from Long Tubes.

    Availability:

    I'd say you can't go wrong with that package, HHP is tried and proven. Instead of the LSD I'd consider some stronger half-shafts, unless you plan on road racing. I'm sure Milan will chime in on how happy he is with his HHP set up. Keep us posted.

    I'm actually considering the same package (and by considering I mean saving $ for). I'd love to hear what you final results are and how you like it.

    I like my package a lot as we've discussed before. So far, very reliable and extremely streetable. Timid at idle with this cam and my idle is set to 800....but you know something's alive and well under the hood. I would even consider getting you're factory headers' bead polished out and holding off on the Kooks to use somewhere else. This will give you better bang for your buck IMO. I spent a buttload on the Kooks with Cats and Jet-Hot coated and honestly, I only did it for peace of mind....to know that the heads are flowing at their best....but in hindsight, you can spend the money elsewhere and still make a better HP/TRQ gain....hell you can get the shafts and the LSD lol. At 9000, it's difficult to say if it's WORTH it, but I know you're like me....the new supercharger packages coming out are very tempting as well Tony....and I'd seriously consider them as contenders for your cash too. I think Sting Ya is selling his Procharger kit for like 4400G over at the OC. He's upgrading to a Z06. Very little miles on it too.

    Will do.

    I hear you on the headers and I may just forget about that.

    I really want some F/I but there is no way I can do it without forging my bottom end, to me F/I without forging is just a time bomb waiting to go off. I really want a TT setup but I cant really find anything under $10k with the forging the bottom end, this is driving me nuts.

    I need more HORSEPOWER!!!!!

    Anyone have any prices on forging the bottom end in the NYC area?

    Dew it Tony.

    Get the LT's though. They go great with that package and with tuning, the HP increase will be seen throughout the powerband.

    Torque Converter is a must though but I think that's part of the package price.

    Other then letting Erik do my install the only other vendor I trust after all this time is HHP, just by word of mouth.

    Thanks!
