hmmm....theirs is more correct...sorry...13.8 is what my buddy with a turbo car goes by, so i am guessing that it has something to do with his elevation...

but they have to know that for a living...i only am interested as a hobby...:)

however, good link!

Just trying to share whatever will help us all.

Thanks for the info. It'll be interesting to see what kits come out.

RE: Supercharging the new Challenger
 

well, figure this...i know of someone who has an srt10 ram with a turbo kit on it. right after installation, it was making some 650Whp at very low levels of boost...i know that the viper 8.3L has a CR of 9.6:1, so i assume that the truck motor is the same, and he was running something like 6psi to make that 650Whp...i believe that he turned the boost up a bit when he installed an alcohol injection kit, and got up over 700Whp...he had a video on streetfire, but their site isnt working for me...[:@]

i seem to recall that with the alcohol injection, he was running 8psi, on a daily driven 9.6:1 engine, and didnt have any issues, so i would think that the 5.7 hemi would accept the same amount of boost, provided the same upgrades, but that is also assuming that the components of the 5.7 are of the same high quality as the 8.3L...

Sorry guys but I just don't get enthused about the supercharging deal. If the numbers are already close with the 6.1 in there then the way I see it is if they want a Gt 500 killer just drop in the 6.4 and be done with it. I'm just an all motor kinda thinker. The more add ons the more can go wrong. There's no replacement for displacement! Not trying to rain on your parade, continue on. I still find the subject fascinating.

I used to be an all-motor guy, in my way of thinking that is, but the fairly recent onslaught of import tuning has me thinking more and more about forced-induction. Done properly, it's very safe and you KNOW how effective it is, once you run up against one of these little ricers that has his sh*t together. They do it to make up for the lack of displacement and to put them closer to on par with us running V8's, but I say if they can do it, so can we. So much the better.

RE: Supercharging the new Challenger
 

Man I hate to burst your bubble but I got a SC V6 that just plain eats V8 and they carry the displacement advantage..

RE: Supercharging the new Challenger
 

what does your car run again?

while there are a ton of very fast forced induction imports, and i have been to Nopi events, and if the challenger is priced too much, i will have an evo, and i am WELL aware of what a well tuned small engine with forced induction is capable of, it can get very pricey, in a hurry, especially on a stock NA motor...

however, my old V8 can hold its own on the quarter mile versus Most imports, and while i know that there is always someone faster, i love the sound and feel of my 450+hp 340 firing up...:)

13's before. I am having an extensive amount of work done right now that I am assured will allow me to break into the 12's once I get all the parts back on the car in one locations.:D
