Also, regarding the recent RRT that was released to take care of the CEL: What effect have you experienced on vehicles that did not have this problem, and had the RRT performed? The dealer performed this against my wishes, and the car feels LESS responsive afterwards. My car performed great and felt strong before, not so much now.
SRT, thanks so much for this car! I've been wanting one for 16 years, and finally have one to enjoy.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but just as an FYI to you: I just received my 2008 from my dealer today after install of the Belanger headers/exhaust. They also performed the ECU reflash eben though my car was not having any problems previously. My tech informed me that the ECU reflash was designed solely to make the computer less sensitive to sending CEL codes for cylinder misfires. On the drive home my car did not seem less responsive, quite the opposite. It felt scary fast. The problem of course, is I cannot say for sure whether the Belanger components are masking any issue with throttle responsiveness.
So I guess my question for the SRT engineers is what specifically does the ECU reflash do for the computer? Does it in fact affect throttle or is it unrelated?
