A stock srt4 comes equipped with 230hp, compared to the 3800 camaro's 200hp. Not to mention, the srt4 is lighter than the camaro. The solution?

- Full exhaust system (including a high flow cat, headers, mufflers, etc.)
- Cold Air Intake (not the cheap one, the true cai that costs about 3-4 hundred)

That alone beats the srt4, not by too much, but by enough, at least for my buddy's camaro it does.

My personal solution/plan, the powerdyne supercharger (http://www.lmperformance.com/2460/13.html), I'm getting mine installed in a couple months, I'll post pics. Adds 90 hp (45%).

No ****in' srt4 will be close to my camaro. Why? Because on paper with the above listed mods, the v6 camaro will be above 320hp with the weight of a v6.

90hp huh? let me know if that thing really gets you past 320hp. Also let me know if you smoke a srt4. I just bought a '97 v6 5 spd. Not really planning on getting one, but just curious- do they make superchargers for that year? good luck with it man

Yes sir, RKSport makes superchargers for the '97.

Yeah, I'm very determined to get my V6 past 300-320 hp just to prove a point, enough money can accomplish many things. It will be the ultimate sleeper. I've done A LOT of research and, like I say, "on paper", it will work. I'll be posting pics and info about the entire project once I'm done with it. Yeah, I know it's cheaper and better to buy a V8, but not when you're 19 and you're insurance is as high as mine lol.

Hey that sounds like a good plan. I like that supercharger too. I'd like to do that before I do anything major like an engine change. I am not a good mechanic YET? I think down i'll get an SS or something. I am enjoying this car so much that its making me obsessed!!!

Good luck with the supercharger bro! tell us more about it when you get it in.

latars!

hey guys, im a former 2000 v6 owner and I currently drive an 05' srt-4, and im here to tell ya, the srt-4 donkey raped my camaro. I raced several times before I got rid of the camaro and saw tailights after about 2 seconds and that was about it. By the way, a stock srt-4 is runnin high 13's, 400$ later(Mopar stage one, Stage 2 wastegate, and an intake) and im now besting 13.4. Your gonna need alot of dough to beat that in the ol' sixer

I was reading in motor trend about the Srt-4 when it first came out that it had the fastest acceleration next to the viper on the dodge line up. Dodge has stepped there game up no doubt. And Chevy has it's answer coming in 08/09

You need to be careful tangling with a turbocharged car of any brand. It is easy to up the boost to some extreme number and get some really serious power. Personally, I don't care for turbo cars because I feel it is cheating, but they can put out the numbers.

as an srt owner I can tell you off the bat that srt-4's are quick, and I know some drivers out there give us a bad name but respect what's out there, you never know
