------------------ ------------------ ------------------ I could not even get a hint.... What I saw looked kinda like the original 1997 Prowler with the dual intake MAF(Mass Air Flow) throttle bodies. The dual MAF throttle body appeared to be altered some how. Whoever has a 1997 prowler engine... please post a picture of your MAF throttle bodies. My 1999 prowler has one intake MAF/throttle body but the one at Woodward had two. I tried taking a picture of it but Jerry was watching me like a hawk. He knew I would be itching to take a picture and before I knew it. He slammed the hood shut. DARN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Later... ------------------ Hehehehehehee.........you guys are too funny.......they'll never give it up!! ------------------ Classic/Beautiful - I'm referring to the Cat of course! ------------------ ------------------ Did anyone ask Jerry what the little rocker switch in the tach mount was for. When I asked he looked at his wife and said "he was the only one to spot it" and gave no answer other then "not Nitro's" Set-up under hood looked simple, did anyone look in the trunk when he was putting top up or down. ------------------ Nice meeting you at Woodward, and thanks for dragging my butt around on wed evening. Enjoyed it! ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ A stroker engine will do it. My 4 litre stroker will pull the Paxton cars off the line and intially from a running start but once the NOVI 1000 gets the boost going they will catch me on the top end. Hopefully with some increased compression coming soon along with some other tweaks from Westech Automotive, I will be able to hold them off longer! ------------------ Will this stuff be released in the future? ET Will this stuff be released in the future? ET My understanding is they will not release or produce these items and the car will be crushed at some point (if they ever find out where Jerry hides it!) This message has been edited by Marty Usher on 09-20-2004 at 03:04 PM Both Westech and PP have done work on torque convertors but I do not know where they stand on these at the present time. Laddie has had work done on his TC also. That's all we ask! DC, be nice to your faithful prowler customers.Wayne Finch ...did we get a glimpse of this on the weekend. The press release below is from DC website. Very interesting!!!
Stuttgart / Auburn Hills, 08/20/2001 - The Chrysler Group intends to enter the high-performance automobile segment, which is why it plans to set up a business unit similar to Mercedes-AMG GmbH. The aim is to increase sales of special Chrysler vehicles. The first models to be tuned include the Dodge Viper and the Chrysler Prowler.

Roadstar Does anybody know what they mean by "tuned" and when might this happen. Thanks KenG JD got a ride in Jerry's Prowler (from DC) and he said it was faster than his Paxton car. I went nose to nose with him at a red light on Woodward and he pulled me by almost a full car (I have gears) Jerry would not let us see much under the hood. I certainly would like to know what was done without adding a supercharger or NOS.

I admire his ability to keep it quite..
I sure want to know how they make it work. I did get a long good look at the setup but could not figure out how they made it work.
We all like to speculate and I'm no different. My opinion is they are allowing more air and fuel to enter the engine compartment along with a different computer tune. Possibly more timing. I don't believe that engine they had on that cat was stock. It has been tweeked quite a bit.

Don't feel bad. I couldn't get any info out of Bob either in our 6-8 hours of riding together. Todd Cameron one of the so cal guys read in driver that DC has a puter something or other to boost HP to 300. must be the same thing

Call 911 - there is a Prowler in my garage....BeWare Again if Jerry was being forthright he stated that nothing was changed internally in the engine. JD you rode in the Kat did Jerry mess with the toggle switch mentioned above.

The electronics are outside the engine
Does Jerry write for Clinton and Condit???
Yellow is DCOOLESTOrange So now that production is over, anyone know the secret? I take it that this is the same car which is currently white and called IScream. We need to figure out a way to find out what was done to this engine to get 300+ hp. DC, it's about time you rewarded your prowler purchasers... butchcee stroker ,I think Marty Usher quote:

2000 Black with hand painted blue faded to purple flamesBeWare I don't think its a secret anymore so this I what I know. The I Scream cat has a stroker motor, a beefed up Torgue converter, gears and a three throttle body air plenum with the outside two, computer controlled to open at full throttle. I would love to get my hands on the plenum and the computer needed to control it. CJ Dream on Rich! lol! ET CJ, Marty Usher quote:

CJ,bbcar They dont have to release the parts, just let us know what they did to acheive the hp they are getting out of this engine. I am sure someone would be able to replicate it.
BarryMarty Usher Stroker engines are being done by Westech Automotive for sure - I have one, a 4.0 liter. Dean at Prowler Pro is working on a stroker I am told. Tuning should go hand in hand with the
engine rebuilds by the respective shops.Orange quote:

BarryCJ Since DC no longer produces the car, they have no reason to offer any engines for it anymore. bbcar CJ we do not need the engines, just a shopping list of what to do to replicate their engine. Hot rodders are very good at duplicating a engine if they know what has to be done.
