Well, I Re-installed all the factory items including the Silencers, reset the computer and went to the track for testing. 15.5 at the 1/4 mark but the hessitation is still there. It is most noticiable at full throttle and in second gear going to third at the 4500 mark. I will be going to the dealer tomorow. also the transmition now started to whine.

Only had my DC2 for 2 weeks and I am noticing it. It's nice to know it's not just mine. I'll be watching this thread!

Thanks guys.

I'm told I am first on the list for the upgrade when it comes. The dealership calls me every two weeks or so for follow up on any changes.

Heres hoping soon.

I have a 5-speed and I haven't had a misfire problem at any time. Is this a problem with cars being built during a certain time? Mine was built Dec. '02.
I spoke too soon. Installed my new turbo up intake and with the extra boost I can sometimes feel a hesitation in 2nd at high rpm and I feel it at high rpm in 3rd most of the time. In both gears it's when I go over 5000 rpm. Anyone come up with a fix or are we waiting for DC and the upgrade?

Has anyone ever tried removing the hood or having real hood scoops blowing onto the turbo to get rid of the heat from the turbo which MIGHT be causing the miss? I don't know if this will work but the Dodge has a hood scoop blowing on the turbo.

I've been following this thread to see what the conclusions might be. I have one of the earliest GTs delivered, July 20, 2002, and have never had a mis-fire at any speed or RPM. At least, I have never noticed it. How pronounced is it? Can you hear it, or is it just a slight drop off in power? Again, I haven't noticed anything like that on mine.

You have to floor it and take it to redline. You will hear and feel the engine stutering. like it is shutting down and coming back to life. It is normaly from seccond to third gear in the "Auto Stick" model.

Mine is doing it in complete stock configuration and in modified form. I have even setup the boost to 8 PSI and still does it.

I dropped the plug gap down to.045 it happens less, but nonetheless still happens. what bothers me about it it there seems to be no consistency to when or if it happens.
