Burning smell when I floor it?
So this has happened a couple of times now. When floor it and hit high rpm's, I smell something like a burning smell. I don't think its clutch because I am shifting smoothly and all but I could be wrong. Any thoughts?

More than likely it's your clutch, can't think of anything else that would smell like that at high RPMs.

Maybe just burning the built up carbon and dirt off the engine?

Our motors burn oil at WOT, well at least mine does. My SRT8 did the same thing.

Most catch cans are universal. And there are vendors who sell them on here for cheap
