    Went back to the dyno - MOPAR PCM vs OEM

    You will love the 5th / 6th gear swap. I did it too on my ACR which is a track car. Only down side is if you do any extended high speed cruising, like long trips, you may want to consider changing only 5th gear and sticking with the OE 6th gear, like the 2010 cars. The intake swap took me...

    Went back to the dyno - MOPAR PCM vs OEM

    George, Great response. We'll have to get you out to the track with us some day. Some of us are planning to drive Buttonwillow with Speed Ventures Dec 18 & 19. Many things come into play with the Gen IV controller. I also run a more efficient radiator, try cover all of the openings in the...

    04 flywheel clutch change question.

    Having tried many clutch / pp / flywheel combos, I would highly recommend the DC Chromoly "light" flywheel along with the OE Luke clutch. Don't forget to change the clutch slave / throw ought bearing (and fluid) too as these do wear out. As stated above, if you buy the correct flywheel, the...

    Went back to the dyno - MOPAR PCM vs OEM

    With the Gen IV engine, Mopar controller, Belangers, ported intake (Arrow or others), K & N Filter, no cats, 3-inch exhausts, my 09 ACR made more horse power and more torque with a flatter, higher hp and tq curve as octane increased. At DC in LA, I had Chris (their ace tuner), monitor the...

    "Calling Gen 4 ACR Owners" for a prevention precaution tip. SRT Engineers?

    Jon, Where can we go to print out the TSB. Don't have any issues but rarely open the hatch on my ACR (except to adjust the Motons!) Dan

    KW Ride Update....

    Hey Mike, I'll be home this Sunday, likely getting my ACR ready for next weekend at Willow Springs. You can come by the house if you'd like and I'll take a look at your car and / or take it for a short ride. I live in Foothill Ranch. PM me if interested. [email protected] Dan

    Coil Overs: Anybody Done Them?

    Guys, Maybe I missed something but Moton Club sports did not come with springs. I doubt that the new Motion Control shocks will come with springs as the main guys from Moton will be designing / making them. The great part about that is you can choose a stiffer spring for the track or HPDE...

    KW Ride Update....

    Mike, Couple of suggestions: 1 - Start in the middle of the adjustment range with your KWs as many shocks that are valved for a specific car suggest this as a starting point. 2 - Check your tire pressures with a good gauge (digital preferred) if you haven't yet. A low tire will "pull" if all...

    Possible to adjust ride height with stock suspension?

    ullose, All of the above that you mention will happen if your car is too low. If you hit most any semi-serious bump at even moderate speed with OE size tires, especially the rears, you will rub holes in the rear inner fender liners with your current clearance. You will have a great deal of...

    Possible to adjust ride height with stock suspension?

    Easy "rule of thumb" for Vipers. Minimum safe ride height is about two fingers between the tire and the fender front, three fingers rear. Front looks to low. You can go lower of course at the track with adjustable shocks and stiffer springs, i.e. my 09 ACR is about 1.5 fingers front and two...

    Moton, the company, was just sold to another shock company who's name escapes me as I write this. Don't think any new Moton products are currently being and made don't know when they will be made. I prefer Moton Club Sports for their ability to work well at the street and the track, their ease...

    Hey Paul, We'll be at ACS Fontana Oct 7 & 8, then at Willow Springs Oct 22 & 23 if you are interested. We are also working on a trip to Spring Mountain for Nov19 & 20. Also, the OE ACR KW shocks and springs are comparable to the Moton Motorsport shocks, which are OE on the comp coupes -...

    Drove your Gen IV ACR at Seca? Tell me about it...

    Great videos. FYI, a couple of our So Cal Club members drove LS recently. It seems that LS now has a "roving" sound person, so it's not just T5 for sound anymore. One of our guys got black flagged twice in a completely stock Gen IV. Too bad LS isn't more reasonable. IMHO, any car that...

    Moton made "Motorsport" shocks for the Gen II. Original retail over $6K for 2 ways with 14 clicks of adjustability) Moton made Clubsport shocks (about $3.5K - 2way / 6 clicks) and Motorsport shocks (from $6K to $12K depending on adjustability, i.e. 2 way, 3 way w/ low speed bump, 4 way) shocks...

    Not sure who bought these but Moton did not make Clubsports for Gen II, just Gen III and IV. If you remove the large, rubber plug in the upper trunk area, you don't have to remove the inner fender liner to install these. These look super clean and are a very good deal if they work as well as...
