Default RE: Supercharging the new Challenger

ORIGINAL: RLSH700

The acceleration numbers seem to be similar between the two. In an earlier Motor Trend review that I was telling some people at DF about, they found that the 6.1L accutally produces around 467 hp. This might explain why it is so close. Offering the rumored 392 HEMI would be another nice option. As far as supercharging goes. They could lower the compression ratio a little to get the desired power. A 10.3 to 1 compression ratio is not too high in comparison to what GM is doing to the Z06 Corvette (11.0 to 1), but then again, Chrysler tends to care more about their engines actually staying together than GM does.
Is that the CR for the Hemi engines? 10.3:1?
