Am I assmuning correctly that since the SRT-4 Caliber is now out, that there might be a turbo or other mods for my SE down the road in about a year?

There is very little you can do to improve the performance on the 2.4l. You can add a K&N CAI and pick up maybe 5 horsepower. Replace the exhaust system and pick up a few more. If a turbo system is made available in a future date I would wait till its been installed and tested before letting my engine become a test case.

Heres some info for the 2.4L on a new performance product. Follow the link:

You may want to wait till its more feasible and do a radiator cap mod...

changing gear ratio can add a little to performance. However that can kill your fuel economy.

one of the mechanics at the shop I use when I need one changed from 3.55 to 4.10 gears in his 5.9L ram. It accelerates quicker now but he dropped 3 mpg. Ouch! Then again he has a led foot. your mileage my vary.

You should see the rpm change and its really something to feel the difference in your take off. I also went from 3.55's to 4.10's, and turned my truck into a TQ monster. In the end it ate way to much gas. I loved it at the track, but as a daily driver it just ate to much in gas.

Hehe wasn't sure if you would get the radiator cap mod....i was trying to be tricky!

No, I have the radiator cap mod and it added an extra 100HP to my car.

LOL...I did that too..not by choice, but it took away 15 hp! Though the car is faster...go figure!

to make things shorter.. what do you guys thing is EVERYTHING it can be done to a 2.4 sxt in order to improve performance? i was thinking aobut cold air intake, performance chip, and maybe an exhaust.. what do you guys think?

That would be a good start, as you should see some improvment.
