Dodge needs to replace the 5.7 with the 6.1, and slap a supercharger on the 6.4. Simple as that.
The 6.4 is dialed back to 470 hp. for a reason. In long-term testing, a more powerful 6.4 version, rated at 540 hp., had engine durability problems. So a supercharger is presently not viable in the foreseeable future.
