Hi all, just bought a 2009 SRT8 and joined the forum today. I'd say it's been a great day overall. I'll put some pics up soon. Very excited to own this vehicle, my first in the SRT8 lineup. I had a Trailblazer SS before this, so I know some stuff about performance SUV's. When my SS got smoked by an SRT8 during last year's Woodward Dream Cruise, I knew I had to get one for myself :)

Hope you all are doing well. Looks like a pretty active forum, so I'm excited about what I can learn here.

Welcome to the forum.

What color did you get and does it have any mods already done to it?
Welcome, from Canton :)
Thanks guys. Tony, love that hood on there, looks bad ass. Hey erlad, Farmington Hills here man. The only things that have been done to it, as far as I can tell so far (haven't taken it to the track yet) are deep tinting of the driver and passenger windows, recoated rims (not charcoal, but more of a dark metallic, almost with a slight blue hue to them, very cool I think) and a kicker sub installed in the trunk. I'm sure you guys have done a lot, but what are your suggestions for 1st mods? The stock CAI looks fairly good (as compared to the shitty one that was in my SS originally), but should I get a new one and have it tuned?

erald, where did you have that Diablo done? Locally?

Yeah i bought the predator on line and got a conservative tune from Joel (Jerseboy) until i get a wideband put in, he is in WalledLake area and knows this Jeeps and the tune very well. Let me know if u need more info, btw the custom tune will def wake ur jeep up, you would not be dissapointed.

I'd start with a CAI, tune and a catch can.

I think everyone here would agree that these are 3 mods that every srt8 should have.

Thanks guys, appreciate that a lot. erald, could you email me the info for that guy? My email address is [email protected]

What would you estimate, on average, doing those 3 mods gains you in HP?
Welcome & congrats on the purchase. Looking forward to some pics. Just down in Ft Wayne myself. A word of advice, stay away from eskle, bjb & jersseyboy. Your bank account will cease to exist otherwise, lol.
