First off, the SRT Engineers take time out of their busy schedule making go fast goodies to be here to answer our questions. Let's show them the proper courtesy and patience. There will be many questions and they may not be able to answer every question asked. If your question is skipped, please be patient as questions are not answered in order.
Please only ask one or two questions. There are lots of people who want to ask questions, so let's give everyone a chance.
Stay on the topic at hand. SRT Vehicles! Keep the off-topic chat to the other sections of the website. There is to be no discussion between members in this forum. Ask your question and enjoy the replies from the Engineers!
If your question has already been asked (by you or someone else). Don't re-post it in hopes to get it answered quicker.
Make sure you let the SRT Engineers know what model SRT vehicle you are driving or inquiring about. Yes, a head gasket is quite different between an SRT8 and an SRT4. :wink:
As much as everyone is salivating over what comes in the future, the SRT Engineers cannot answer any questions regarding future product.
SRT Community - It seems as if there was some miscommunication the other day at our last web chat regarding the 6sp MTX spark pullout on shifts being related to something called Buck/Bobble. Please understand that I cannot give out certain details, but I'll try to explain this feature the best I can. Essentially, Buck/Bobbles are driver felt events that are due to airflow oscillations created and pertaining to Electronic Throttles. All vehicles are designed with a certain amount of lash in the driveline, some more than others...and it wears over time. Then you add the variability of the MTX transmission, different methods of shifting, and different skill levels...you can get into what is known as Buck/Bobble...both on launches and gear changes. So, we monitor the rapid oscillations in airflow and if they exceed a certain threshold (based on engine speed), we will trigger the Buck/Bobble feature to smooth the application of torque in the vehicle via spark. As I mentioned in the original post, these calibrations are very sensitive, so if airflow is changed via power adder or other means, the Buck/Bobble calibrations and thresholds are thrown off. This is why you are seeing a large pullout during shifts on your car. I hope this response with a little more detail helps clear the air a bit, although I know what you really want is a way to make it go away. As Ralph mentioned in the last Web Chat, we are looking further into the PCM Unlocking/Tuning...its unfortunately not a decision that can be made overnight, but it's on the table for discussion.
Thank you!
