The problem with the Kenny Bell is it's a software program that if the dealer flash's the computer you just lost the upgrade and they will charge to redo it. The other things that I don't like a statement that nobody will know it's there so are they pushing the engine too hard. I also don't like the fact you have to use 91 octane gas. If it was a Mopar upgrade I would do it in a heartbeat judge for yourself but do the research before you spend the money

Grouch, let's face facts, you will have to go to premium fuel if you want to get last few HP out of that engine! I am supose to use 91 octane in my GT if I want most HP and I do use it on trips but not around town since it has gone over $2.00 gallon here in Calif! If you don't want to wring out ultimate HP figures why would you invest this kind of money in your engine?? I am not saying this is a great must have product, but I do think it is well thought out and a good way of getting 17 extra HP and I do think it is safe. Probably woids warantee and that is the biggest drawback as I see it. On other hand the new Chrysler Turbo HP boosts are not going to have a warantee either!!

The KB Optimizer II isn't suitable for the GT last time I heard. They are working on one though. A new chip is supposed to be Phase 1 of the MoPar upgrades for the GT. If someone has big pockets they could try both and tell us which gives the biggest boost - whenever we get access to them!

SteelblueGT

If it is made by MOPAR it would be covered by the warranty if it is done by a Chrysler dealer. I was a Chrysler service manager so it should be covered Stage 2 might not be and stage 3 isn't street legal so that won't be coverd.

I hope stage 2 is covered but what I am hearing is not good so far and nothing official yet!
