    My Magnum SRT-8 need more power!
    My aim is about 550 hp, the car is driven every day and I just want to make sure no AMGs or the like can keep up on the highway.
    The car needs to be put back to standard every year for inspection so it needs to have an easy fit.
    Any suggestions to kits?
    I´ve looked at superchargersonline, anyone with experience from this company?
    After some looking into the subject I´ve concluded that a Vortech system would fit me the best with a progressive power delivery.
    I´m also thinking of an LSD, where do I find one?
    Least but also important, how the f### do I turn of the ESP?
    It´s programmed to be driven by my granmother even in off-mode...

    New to the subject.

    So....

    First off...550 WHEEL hp or 550 CRANK hp?....550 Crank is not hard at all...550 will take some effort if you have to bring it back to stock....how easy is it for you to change heads/cam's and things like that?

    Second...

    Dont use that site...any of our vendors here can handle all of your supercharging needs....

    Yes get an LSD...again...our vendors have them...just I know off the top of my head BMC Performance, High horse performance, Power Ported Performance, and southern hotrod all supply LSD's

    To TRULY turn the ESP off you need a predator or a Trinity from Diablo Sport...again, this can be purchased at many of our vendors...check with BMC Performance as i know they have them and are located down the road from Diablo Sport.

    Check with any of the following for all those things:

    BMC Performance
    BWoody
    CMW
    High Horse Performance
    Inertia Motor sports
    Power Ported Performance
    RDP Motorsports
    Southern Hotrod - Looks like you might have to give Eddie a call
    Stanko Performance Products
    Techco
    Vortech Engineering

    If you go down to the bottom of this page you can find them all in our vendor section...any of them can help you out...

    Hope I got everything for ya :)

    Just be sure you check with them with the availability of International Shipping.

    Steve summed it up nicely. lol

    You will also want to find a good shop who can tune the whip for you. We do have vendors here that can do email tunes, but I would think that someone local would better suite you.

    Give us a call and we can run through all the options with you. 877-BMC-RWHP
    We carry all the available Forced Induction options for the Hemi.
    The Vortech setup is a great choice..I am biased as I drive a Vortech powered SRT every day!

    Brilliant, now I got some things to look into.
    Shipping is not a big problem as I´m either coming over myself to pick it up or I´ll set it up with a friend, carrying it in a suitcase saves about 35% in toll and taxes...
    Its not urgent as I´m not going to use the car during the winter moths, the kids bring the whole of winter with salt and grime into the vehicles theyre riding... The Volvo is good enough for sliding around!:cold:

    Now its time to crack up a Starobrno, if you never tried one, you never had a beer...

    Yeah, go to the Munich beer festival and they serve you 9% beer in 2 litre glasses, anyone coping with 2 of those and still standing is a full blown alcoholic...
    The sad part is that you try, cause it tastes fantastic!
    My favorite is "Pils" from former Tjecislovakia, its a type of beer, Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen, Starobrno etc... Not so strong witch means you can have a lot witout falling apart.:mains:
