Welcome! I know exactly what you mean...I used to have an 05 SRT4 with only 280whp, and it was kind of useless on the stock BFG's. Didn't get traction till 3rd gear. Good luck on your search though! I too am in the same boat.

Thanks all.... Well I went to look at a couple. No luck yet I prefer silver or black. The ones I find are to high in the miles department. My plan for the car once I find one is intake exhuast tune and a nice head and cam package
