New owner in SoCal

I just recently picked up a 2011 base with 30k miles. I've been building cars for awhile. After Iraq I bought a 2005 SRT-4 which I ended up giving around 380whp 420lbs. Eventually traded that in for a 2013 Dart (holy crap what a mistake). For awhile with it I did have the highest HP Dart though..with a whopping 215. I have moderate plans for the Z though. I opted for a 7A ..which for me is a huge change. But after driving it (and based on my commute being in traffic) I think it was the right decision.

Welcome :pics: thanks for your service!! I too had a 2013 Dart with the 1.4 turbo. That little thing would get up & go. Had too many problems with the clutch so got rid of it.

Honestly more than likely just intake exhaust and tune. I don't want to get to crazy with the car.

Mine held up for the 58k miles I put on it. It just wasn't a fun car in the end.

I'd add CAI & 25 row oil cooler.

Tuning wise, EcuTek over UpRev (but, you may already know that)

Specialty Z (Sebastian aka Seb) in Canoga Park is a Z tuning master.

btw, forgot to say earlier, Thank you for you service:usa:

Actually I hadn't heard about EcuTek > UpRev. I'm not going to be jumping into a tune right away so it will give me a chance to research it a bit more. I'll definitely look into the oil cooler. First things first though I have to figure out the direction I want to go with the exhaust.

To each his own but, definitely give F.I. a look & listen:tup:

I've looked into a few the downfall is that youtube doesn't do any of the exhausts any justice. F.I. Is def a possibility though.
