I've noticed that my SRT is sluggish between 35 and around 50 mph. (about 2,000 rpm)
Any suggestions on what the problem might be or is this normal. I purchased this used, and never was able to see what the performance was like new.

Buy heads, Cam, full exhaust, and a Tune and there won't be any slug anywhere

The problem is: you're in 3rd gear. Drop it into 2d and the sluggishness will be gone. It's kindof annoying actually, the PCM slips you into 3rd way too early IMO, and requires pushing too far down on the pedal to get it to kick down into 2nd.
