RE: Supercharging the new Challenger
true, but the GT500 is a factory forced induction car, and isnt all that much faster than the estimated performance numbers of the challenger...we wont actually know until both of these cars hit the streets...
that being said, there are already companies developing forced induction setups for the SRT8 engines, and there are several available, both turbo and superchargers, available for the 5.7. With the steep compression, it wont allow you to run much boost with a blower, but even with boosting to, say, 6 psi, a 425hp engine is conceptually looking to gain 180ish bhp, minus parasitic loss. mind you, that is a very rough estimate, but even if we say that 6 psi will give it 100bhp, youre at 525 now, and youre taking a nice chunk out of the GT500s pride.
