This question is for the people who have actually tried this. When you have the car in manual....when changing gears on the steering wheel if you miss a shift does the car shift for you in order for it not to blow the engine..???


does this make sense...???

It will only shift into the highest gear you tell it to. If you have it in 3rd then you would just bounce of your rev limiter if you didnt put it in 4.

comparing the SRT intake to the RMM isnt really fair. The SRT HFI out of the box produces more hp because of the piggy back ecu. If you get a AFC along side your RMM intake then it is more fair to compare the two. I dont remember the exact price on my 18's.. somewhere around $2000 i think.

I was thinking of getting 18"z because the 17 "z i got are okay but they are toooo small....so i was thinking of selling them and getting some 18"z
