RE: Mopar Developing Supercharger for 2009 Challenger
They already have centrifugal superchargers for the 5.7 and the 6.1. They fit neatly under the hood, although Im curious how much heat builds up from them and how that,ll affect the paint over time.
The only difference I see in this setup is that its produced and warranteed by MOPAR.
I'm also curious how the rear ends hold up to the added HP and torque of the supercharger, or if the "package" will include upgrades for the rear half-shafts.
This is the SpeedFactory system 1971Chall referred to (from their site):

A roots style SC will require more hood clearance - either a hole / opening for the intake. I wouldn't consider it with a centrifugal SC available.
