I actually just started her yesterday for mid winter, those forged pistons and the .30 board over don't like each other very much haha! but regardless even in the summer time I always wait for the car to come to operating temp before I drive it.

I would buy it all over again for myself in general it has shortened the shift strokes dramatically and allows you to change the length of your shift rod. there was extensive mods to the factory shifter base mount inside the car to make the SRT-4 hurst shifter fit.

I should add that you should get the poly bushings because this shifter will demolish the factory ones !, after the second time of having to reach up and put the car into a gear and drive it home, I was pretty pissed lol.

Its killing me haha I miss driving the car, I finally purchased that adjustable wastegate actuator that you mentioned for the HE351CW. its going to be exciting ! Need to do a crazy front end shake down like its no body's business LOL feel like the car is going to fall apart when boost hits !

hey much thanks for the input .. and the pics

I have a charger so I'm hopeing I can use the srt shifter bracket , UNDER the floor pan with the bottom of the shifter and the cables completely mounted below floor level

but I still need to get one of the srt brackets just to compare the cable clip mounting points vs the daytona style bracket
if the same I think I can figure out the bracket mounting below the floor easy enough

There was some minor bending involved where the cables slide into on the base
