The next step was working on the tranny... I had the intake, I had the wheels, I had the exhaust... now I wanted speed..
The was quite happy with the MPG (quite often hitting 28-30MPG on the highway), but I wanted a smother shift. Also, I was not happy that I couldnt autoshift into and out of 5th gear.
Luckily, for the RT there is the SuperChip.. Worked like a charm, no problems, at all, and I get a ODB reader with it! Fixed all my problems, better gas millage and the shift lag is practically non-existant. |

Just to make sure everything was... Sweet :) I got a custom billit shift knob..
The next thing, I got done, was to help performance in highway curves.. I'm not drifting :) nor do I want to be. But her stock suspension does have some role to her. I had Hotchkiss performance AntI-Sway bars put on. Cured all my ills.. Now canyon road (in Beverton Oregon) might as well be straight as it approachs Scholls Ferry.. |

So I'm about to add some more performance mods... But how do you know if your doing any good?
You go get it dyno'ed.. My best pull was 291hp and 317 ft/lb of torque... Not bad for stationwagon.
I only wish I had got one before I did anything, just for a better baseline
