Default RE: Mopar Supercharger coming in Nov

hey guys, don't get my wrong, i'm a HUGE fan of the 6.1L HEMI ... the forged crank & strong bearing caps are a beautiful (not to mention the wonderful cylinder heads, of course)! But powder-metal rods and hypereutectic (cast) pistons, plus a high static compression ratio, are not exactly a recipe for substantial boost. In comparison, the GT500 has all forged internals, and a lower compression ratio to support the stock blower, and even healthy boost increases.

Guess i'm just advocating some careful attention, especially if engine longevity is a big concern.
