RE: SEMA: Dodge Challenger Super Sport Rocks New 392 Hemi
hmm...any type of aspiration can be tuned...if chrysler wanted 50 more hp out of a box stock charger srt8, someone could do it with a couple minor parts and a good tune...keep in mind, that car and driver, and one of the mopar magazines actually got something like 460 out of the 6.1L.
also, i would imagine that this SS didnt have things like air condition, if it didnt have outside mirrors...how about a catalytic convertor? does it have standard exhaust manifolds, or did they fit up something higher flowing? did it have full, restrictive exhaust?
maybe a little port and polish of the heads and intake manifold....add this possible stuff in with a good tune, and you could easily get an extra 100hp. for the regular person, this would be expensive, but for DCX, its nothing, so long as it puts on a good show.
hell, someone with a dremel tool and an understanding of engine air flow, along with a bigger TB, bigger injectors, and a dyno tune coule get a bundle more HP.
