Top speed limiter isn't really changed. The engine gets breathless. Wink

S1 changes tranny shift points and that is why you do the tranny learn.

It's harder to beak a motor mount on an auto than it is on a stick, though, as all you have to do is look at how weak the rubber is on the stock motor mount and you'll know why they break. I was amazed at how flimsy the rubber is on the mm. They do make both filled and solid mm's for the PT (same as the srt-4 mm's)

During the past 2-1/2 years driving with "S1" I have never broken a motor mount but I have always kept my PT-GT under 125 MPH. Wink Roll eyes Smile

Re: [mikemcl] mopar stage 1 Can't Post

Hi, Mike! I am still awaiting delivery by US Mail. The stage 1 left California last Friday and should arrive sometime this week. When it is received, I will mail it to Flight Systems to have my VIN flashed into it since it is used. I will then wait for my 30,000 mile dealer service before I install it. I changed the spark plugs this weekend. Not hard in the Turbo but some of the clearences are tight, especially removing the two middle spark plug wires from the plugs. I will be installing the MOPAR blue performance wires or Cranes from Maggie at Street and Strip,although they are now on backorder to mid January with her, Regards, eddieloft
