intakes , tune the ecu, add a pulley and all the cooling mods out there. that will get you to 350 rwhp. then start the diff exchange and brake upgrade after that headers and exhaust. tranny mods after that

go to crossfireforum.org the srt-6 is the same car under the skin. search for all the modding info in the srt-6 section. needswings and eurocharged will get you into the 11's

it will fit if you dont have the supercooler installed. if you do install the supercooler a custom grill is needed
i have this setup and it rocks!

if the dual cai is what you get the thermal coated unit. i have it. just my .02 if i wanted to drop 1200$ i would get the n/w single intake, a eurocharged supercharger pulley and a eurocharge tune. with that you will see about a 60 rwhp increase and a ton of torque

the dual is a better setup but twice the cost and you have a 1200 budget. the single works great and you can upgrade later to a dual if you want and get credit for the single.
the engine wont overheat. the faster the s/c spins the hotter it gets . if the iat( intake air temp) gets to hot the ecu pulls timing to shut down the s/c to avoid damage. thats were the supercooler, or e55 heat exchanger or other mods to allow the iat temps to be cooler so the power stays on longer. the s/c pulley causes the least amount of heat so thats why i recommend it

you could use a e55 heat exchanger or a frozen boost h/e sized approx 26" 14" 2" thick and it would fit without modding the grill. not as big as the supercooler but larger than oem. the crossfire forum is were the info is
