RE: Mopar Supercharger coming in Nov
The supercharger is generally chosen over a turbo on a V8 because of packaging constraints and or money. The turbo can make more power in general because it works off free power, no engine power used to run it so pound for pound the turbo makes more in the end. The supercharger is easier to install, may or may not need intercooling that is a must have in a turbo car so the plumbing is much simpler.
The 6.1L will only take 5.5 to 6 pounds of boost in stock form anyway so a turbo would seem to be overkill anyway for such a low number. The supercharger may not even NEED to have intercooling at these levels.
Hope this helped!

So let me open up a can of worms.
Why a supercharger vs. a turbocharge specifically for the Challenger. What is it about the Challenger that the Supercharger is being offered.
I am more interested in the technical vs. the marketing reasons but I would love to hear both.

You can have that much it just is not carb approved and the motor will not last at that level without internal modifications.

I don't see myself spending thousands on a supercharger unless I can get 600+ hp at the crank and 500+ at the rear wheels.

M.S.R.P. for the SRT Challenger has been released, $6638.95. If you have questions ordering itch or whatever call me if I can help. Not a sales pitch I find it's better to just offer information rather than "push" our wares. The stuff I do choose to sell is always the right stuff not just stuff.
I'm always glad to help though with anything so just ask! :-)

On another note, do you expect a 6.4L to have a high HP limitation than the 560HP on the 6.1L.

Just a note on compression ratios:
5.7 10.5:1
6.1 10.3:1
How much boost are the 5.7's running?

Hold on, you are offering a supercharger kit and have released an MSRP for a kit and you don't know for SURE if it NEEDS intercooling ?

At 6 lbs of boost you want the intercooling. You may also want to carry a couple large box's so when the OE assembly comes a part you can collect the parts from the side of the road.
