RE: THE HOOD!!!
yeah i don't truly think i could get a 392 with just supercharging an R/t but mine is gonna be lighter just cause of the 5.7 and few more do-dads would put me right at say 550hp.
Some sites for super-charging the charger are claiming in the low 500's so that's with a 340-350 hp engine. Im thinking with the HEMI do for it's upgrade it'll easily fetch the 500 mark.
So don't throw that idea away completly.
yeah 13k is fair i'd be happy with 11,500 or 12k but the more i post on forums like these and read all this stuff. Im thinking of keeping the truck and just driving it to the ground and buying a challenger r/t used. I don't have the cash to think about an SRT and if i did i still don't think i'd want it. But after buying my truck brand new i don't think i'll buy a new car again. You can just save so much money finding the right buy used. but with dodge's new lifetime powertrain warranty, it makes me want to buy new again but, if in the end im thinking about really super-charging it i might as well buy used.
Plus my girl-friends dad builds hot-rods. And he could really help. I don't really think i need dodge's lifetime warranty but im lucky i guess.
My only other real choice for just plain making people look stupid on the road is a GTO with the LS2, those things are just plain fast. Not much on looks but it has some class to it. And if you super-charge that puppy it would take a 392. But im a die hard mopar fan. But my brain is a performance fan first. Peace..
