Soon to be tuned with a RIPP.
Adding a Helwig 25mm rear sway bar.
Adding SRT exhaust as soon as I can find one.
SRT Hellcat license plate frames will be the only clue but they won't see those for long.

For the record I didn't re-badge it as an SRT, I put a license plate frame on it... often a location for something humorous. Its a Hellcat Jeep wanna-be because those aren't available yet, hopefully that doesn't offend the SRT die-hards. Those of you fortunate enough to choose SRT should feel confident it's on-road abilities and not get lost over a humorous license plate.

Had a WK SRT, did a great job in a straight line, did OK in the corners, and absolutely sucked off-road it so I'm putting a little SRT "spirit" in a Summit this time around. It will also perform respectably in a straight line, do a little less than OK in the corners, and do a whole lot better off road. I'll also be spending a whole lot less than I would on an SRT so I'm OK with being inferior in that regard.

For the record, did not say yo re-badged.

That is awesome to take something and make it unique! That is the whole concept, IMO, of modifying your car!

Spending a whole lot less? Bought my 14' used with 4k miles...so I am into it A LOT less than most :thumbsup:

I hate using the source but this is right out of the Urban Dictionary.

"Often reffering to what appears to be a ordinary looking stock commuter car that is anything but stock under the hood. Pretty much the opposite of your rices up looking civic."

Or a factory produced, anyone can buy the same car, a poser,with the same blacked out look that panders to the latest fad of hipster conformity..looks good though, heck you can get black wheels on a lawn mower nowadays..unique, just like tribal tattoos and blonde hair dye, no offense.

Sleeper. You have a great sleeper, even better it's a good looking Grand. You've actually captured the true you got served buy a cruiser look instead of M3 badges on a 328 with wheels. To each their own.

Results are posted in my RIPP thread but peak AWD HP was measured at 435 at 5.8psi boost. Had the Summit exhaust tips modded to fit the SRT catback, brought them out about 3/4" further back to not be so hidden under the valance but otherwise keeping the stock look.

Thanks for the link Governor.

Traffic and crappie road conditions prevented me from enjoying it much at all on the way home. Throttle is much more touchy and deep though. Lower RPM's the percent gain in power isn't that noticeable, just a more responsive daily driver. The 3500-4000 range started pulling like the WK SRT I used to have but it won't be the same dig from a dead stop due to the gearing the SRT has. No real plans to do quarter mile times, I'll try to do some 0-60 times at some point but I think it will be the roll-on's that will be the most fun surprising other people with. Anybody have SRT 60-100 benchmark times?
