SRT Engineers Chat Session - October 7, 2009, 6pm - 8pm EST
This thread will be opened prior to the chat to allow questions to be asked in advance.
Participant Guidelines:
Keep all questions on topic and related to the SRTlineup of vehicles (off-topic posts will be removed)
Direct ALL questions to the SRT Team AND allow the SRT Team to answer ALL questions (no member-to-member replies)
Before you post a question, review existing posts to avoid repeats
Limit each post to 1 or 2 questions and be as brief and clear as possible, including the SRT model your question references
Allow time for a response - questions are not answered in order of post. If it appears you were missed, AND the same question was not previously answered for someone else, you may re-post before the session ends
The SRT Team cannot answer questions about future product, PLEASE do NOT ask
1. (toofart) I have a catch can/oil separator, and at every oil change I empty an ounce or two of black oil. If I did not have this device, do you agree this oil would coat my intake manifold, valves, and enter the combustion chamber thus effectively lowering my fuel octane?
2. (toofart) For 6-speed cars, is the differential able to support hard launches and shifts at the drag strip using slicks, or very high traction radials?

Reason: Removed Q3, will post in separate post
6. (spencer60) Why do the knock sensors go off and retard timing during shifts (6 speeds). Are they too sensitive as some say, or is the engine really knocking (and why)?
8. (randycat) Can the ecm provide any other engine/transmission operation parameters through the obd-II port other than the industry standard mode 1's? Are there any Dodge/Chrysler specific mode-22's pid's that can be monitored? Are these pid codes documented anywhere?
9. (randycat) Is there an optimal engine bay temperature for best engine performance, after which higher temperatures yield increasing losses in engine output and throttle responsiveness?
