I want to read and see more threads about people doing performance mods.

C'mon people, lets get this transitioned from "waiting on my WKII" to "performance mods", hell, I would even read some "visual mods" to pass the time.

I don't want to read anymore about waiting, about the reverse screen coming up too slow, blah blah blah (j/k, problems, but I don't want to hear them :) )

:thumbsup:

Performance wise.. I'd say he is correct. I mean there now is an air intake, sway bars and exhaust systems. But really no other performance based mods yet, many visual/aesthetic mods however.

I like my warranty for now.. :thumbsup: But thats true, didn't think about that for some reason. But one thing I have looked for is a chip and I don't believe those are available yet, they require special programing for the new 2011.



People mod out the 6.1, they are the ones who desire power to the moon and back when the speed limit is 55 or 65.. :lol:

well...the 3.6 is a brand new engine...but with ChryCo using it on almost every platform....the mods will come! In the meantime...you could have your tb ported, make your own custom CAI, try the power wire from airram, try to find a 180 tstat to work......

We have Eagle heads available for the new 5.7's
Cams are a different story right now since they are VVT. Some offer cams but they are regrinds which we will not offer to customers.
Give us a little time as we are working on stuff for the current 5.7's

With the new 2011's, your almost back to where things were in 05 on the Hemi. Serious mods are going to depend on "when" tuning capabilities show up. Chrysler is in transition over to the new FlexRay based "Powernet" architecture replacing the former CANbus and NGC controllers. Some of the systems like the 2011 Challenger are a hybrid with both features of the old and new systems. They "might" wind up being an orphan like the 03 Hemi Ram has been.

Time will tell. The 2011 300 and 2011 Charger both have the all new system, I would not count on anything on those platforms for quite some time. The new systems are designed to be far more resistive to intrusion and reprogramming. Some have said they change their base programming language every time the vehicle is started to protect the base programming. Chrysler and the Industry have been very tight lipped about technical details of the new systems.

The Pentastar V6 is all new, so don't expect anything there for some time either.

I hope I am wrong, but indications are things will appear to have been a piece of cake under the old control systems.

Mine came from a dealer on ebay back in Sept, they are fine IMO.

Maybe it is due to the issue of the "old style" bezels which were all smooth chrome and it appears the new style is smooth chrome for the first inch or so and then a "frosted" surface for the rest of the bezel, adding to a supply problem. It might also explain why there were a bunch of them on E-Bay all of a sudden. It's a thought anyway.

Ok....I found and ordered the chrome bezels from LeeParts plus a 5.7L badge from JustforJeeps. They're too expensive here from the Canadian dealers so I'll be picking these items up when I'm holidaying in Miami next week. Next might be chrome tow hooks.
