I've had two 392 Scats and like you said, Dodge did an excellent job with these cars form the factory; engine, intake and exhaust. In my opinion the best thing you can do is to enjoy the car and leave it alone. 😁
I mean at least add Catch Can
Lol 100% false every stock scat I raced in beating by 4 cars at least with headers intake and exhaust I’m beating 10r80s mustangs with these mods so there’s your answer
@@brandonUwanawich954 How's the car been? How long have you been tuned for? & who have you been tuned by?

Just bought myself a 392 SRT Challenger 15’ 😜 - Thank You for being so upfront with these type of cars (Pros & Cons) - I look forward to all my future tickets!!
Absolutely.. congrats on the car my friend 👍
I’m about to buy a16 scat pack challenger. How much did you dish out for the SRT just so I know numbers before I pull the trigger on the scat.
gio reyes Brand new depending on options anywhere from 38-45k. I bought my used with 7800 miles on it for 34k
Johnny Kilroy that’s basically brand new good purchase man. I’m looking at a 16 scat 22k miles for 28k I’m going to buy it Wednesday
Man congrats! Next car i’m looking to get
That's why I love dodge... A fully modded R/T falls short of a 392... a fully modded 392 falls short of a hellcat! And so on.... love your
un biased Input on things. Keep em coming!!!
Really good information! Thank you for not sugar coating it. People really need to know the truth & you’re helping more people than you might realize
Thank you TU.. hope your well brother 👍
So I've been doin a lot of research on these cars now. One thing I'd add to your list is a carbon fiber or aluminum drive shaft. It seems like it would shed overall weight by 50-65lbs, as well as spin up faster at speed, giving you longer legs against opponents like the Mustang, because of regaining some efficiency lost in the drive train with stock shaft.
i was just in the market for a new car and of course thought of the challenger because it has been my dream car since the new release in 2008.. i was also highly considering the charger because i drove my moms ALOT back in high school and really loved that car. didn't really consider the mustang even though i do like them. i've watched alot of your videos and have helped me see things and then going to the dodge dealership and seeing the challenger scat pack in the show room solidified my first though on what i wanted.. so i got the 2022 Challenger R/T Scat Pack and can now say i'm driving my dream car. been so happy with it. i continue to watch your videos to learn certain things and appreciate these videos... oh... and go blue!
I'm just getting a mustang GT. Thanks bro, very good content. I've watched literally hours and hours of your channel.
Ur my go 2 guy. New owner of scat pack n u made me da king of da road less than 2weeks. Thanks
Nice.. hope your enjoying that beast my friend
I was thinking about add ons for my 2020 scat pack TA but from what it sounds like it won’t be worth it. So thanks for the video man! Came across Your channel today and subscribed right away. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks for keeping it real, brother!
don’t stop posting man keep it up great information great video phenomenal youtuber
Thank you my friend 👍
Great video man. Literally answered all my questions. Thank you
Great Video! Best way to pull some weight out of the car is for the driver to lose some weight!! LOL
Haha that never hurts 👍
Well said....Looking forward to the next chapter!....Bring it!
Tons of important info!! Thank you Sir!!!
Just traded my 20 Charger RT STP for my even better 20 Challenger R/T 392 Scat Pack. Dig the show Mr. X. Keep on Keepn On.
Easy to understand and well packaged information for what I've heard about the 6.4. Seems to me a cam, intake, and tires are about all you'll be able to do realistically. I agree tires are key. If you can get the big torque to hook up on the low end you should gain some acceleration and peace of mind relatively cheap.
Really like your videos! I have a 19 scat pack shaker 392 I went with a manual transmission and It came with 3:90 gears. But it flys through first gear, but it’s really fun!
That 3.90 gear and low first make second come too quick. That was my biggest complaint with my 2015. The BARTON shifter helped a lot
2020 is your year 🔥
Thank you my friend 👍
Excellent information from a Scat Pack owner myself Tune & weight loss is really the way to go in these cars.
Agreed Joe 👍
Great, Intelligent honest content as always.
Great work X
Thank you very much David 👍
Another informative video always appreciate your videos and how you break things down thank you.
I appreciate it Arlando 🤜🔥🔥
RacerX: First, kudos for excellent content in your videos. Here you go with my 2 cents as a widebody Scat Pack Charger owner 16 months in. Depends on a person's goals. For me, I really appreciate the OEM package (lightly modified) because I have my perspective from having a very modified fox body 5.0 in the 90's and several very fast bikes after that. My car is lightly modded intentionally and a daily driver. For me, a JLT catch can, cold air intake and Hooker blackheart headers is it. Those 3 simple mods, my custom drive mode (trans in " track" always) and regular doses of Lucas ethanol fuel treatment to keep the injectors clear, adds up to a stupid fun, reliable, "legit" muscle car. NOT a world beater, but a..dead reliable 500 HP street car is NOT a joke. Mine was special ordered in 2019 (waited 5 months for it) so that also impacted my choices in NOT screwing up a super nice driver. Mine is to..DRIVE and beating the piss out of the 5.0 in the 90's gives me restraint now with mods. Factory exhaust with headers is gloriously loud WOT, quiet when needed to be and NOT restrictive so no NEED to change it. We are agreed the OEM tires are "junk" but that's easy fix. We are spoiled now with what the OEM's are building HP wise (If you can pay the freight for it), but my Scat is plenty fast for the street and MOST importantly, dead reliable compared to the welded subframed, cammed, geared, fox body I had that spit parts or broke..something on a regular basis. Because I had that car and a string of other modded cars/bikes, I can appreciate the Scat for what it is, as a super fun NA street car you can drive and just grin..every single time without issues. Keep it up sir👍
I love mine in Track mode suspension. Is it okay to drive it around town is track mode suspension? That's really my favorite way to drive it.
Love your videos man keep up the good work
Another great video, good review on the bolt ons which don't add that much to performance. Dodge did an excellent job on the scat package. A couple of factory options like the dynamics package and you're set. If you want more get a Hellcat.
Let me summarize. Don't do shit to the Scatpack, its perfect the way it is tbh :) Want to get cray, get a mf Hellcat
I think your right on Alexander 👍
And eloquently put 🤌
That is the dumbest statement on the internet besides an out right lie.
Great video, should be a must watch after buying a 392. Dodge did a great job on these scat packs as far as intake and exhaust which is the first two things people usually mod. I agree with getting wider tires though!! 275’s made a difference on my charger SP.
Hi sublime
what tire size do you suggest for wide body scat pack?
Thank you so much for the info about the exhaust... straight pipes it is thn! 👍🏻 I hate my neighbors anyways!
I love your vids especially on the scat pack Racer Ex , I own a 2016 Scat pack shaker and my mod list will be the wider tires and a catch can , then call it a day . Cheers
Nothing wrong with that.. the car is already a monster
Great summary of the mods.
That’s why it’s good to do your own work. If you can install the cam and longtubes yourself it can save you thousands.. Cam, longtubes, and a tune is the holy trinity of almost any pushrod N/A car.
Exactly, the aftermarket pipes don't gain as much as the manufacturers claim and need other components, as pipes alone won't do much. They work a lot better when adding CAI as well as headers, and work together hand-in-hand. I was going to straight pipe my Challenger, but decided against it because I wanted larger-diameter pipes and went with SLP loudmouth cat backs instead. Which consists of 3" as well as eliminates the resos, and open chamber racing bullets replaces them. They sound fantastic together with the 6.1 Hemi, and really breathes so much better now. It's loud as hell and does has some drone, but just need to change up the RPM's a little and it goes away. Was considering the extremes and attacks by borla, but thought that they sounded every bit as good and are the best bang for the buck at $599. The 6.1s handle boost better then 392, and are more simplistic without the variable valve timing bull. It's 69.8 HP per liter is the highest output of any Chrysler motor ever produced, and even exceeds that of the 66 race hemis believe it or not
Great information RacerX. A lot of people do not know that information. They end up getting a supercharger for the 392 or the 5.7. and spend thousands of dollars. May as well get a used hellcat.
Very valuable video thank you for making this content.
I have a 2016 Scat Pack. Mods are tune, Fastman TB, 180 T stat, home ported intake to better align manifold pieces, Catless mids, headlight air intake. At the drag strip light wheels and racing tires all around and about 150 lbs weight reduction. So far best is 11.5 at 119. Recently installed adjustable rear control arms and set camber to zero to correct negative camber problem on right rear. I'm confident car will run 11.4 possibly 11.3 at over 120 in decent DA. I agree with your analysis but you may have underestimated gain from catless mids. There was a difference that was easy to feel. With the current mods, car can be returned to stock in a day. Took a lot of time fitting the catless mids so they can be exchanged with stock mid pipes in about 2 hours. Thanks for the great video.
Yes i agree catless mids make a big difference !!!!
I’m glad I modded my 1320!!! First off it’s got an advantage over stock scat pack with suspension and torque converter! I did cam, ported heads, long tubes and 3200 converter with ported intake manifold and throttlebody for less than $6,000 doing it myself! In high DA and heat my car runs 11.4 all day on 20 inch nexens and just a rear seat delete while other 1320s run 12.2 with 17 inch wheels so it is a significant gain for the money for me! If I run 17 inch beadlocks and pull passenger seat in low DA I should run low 11s high 10s
Great and informative as usual. I just had my 2021 wide body scat cammed and tuned. It is the first mod I have done on the car. VERY pleased with the result. Gained about 35 HP to the wheel and maybe 20 -25 ft lbs of tourque. It really brought out some personality in the car. Woke it up, especially in the mid-range. And the way it grumbles at idle now, even with a bone stock exhaust system, is just perfect. My original plan was to cam, long tubes, and exhaust with a tune for the car. I almost don't want to do all that now, just because of how much i LOVE the sound of the cammed car with just stock exhaust. I really think dodge crushed it with the exhaust note on these cars.
What type of tune?
Love that Ohio State shirt man! That’s a beautiful car for sure I don’t think you should mod it every time I see you or your wife ride pass I always stop what I’m doing and turn my head lol I like the way that scat pack sounds don’t change that. Every time I’m playing basketball at life church and you roll pass I feel so motivated. Or when I’m walking to work and I see that hellcat...definitely inspiring I’m going to get one eventually mark my words ‼️
Cashout Collin .. thanks buddy! I appreciate the kind words and it’s awesome that your so close. I hope you get your own beast someday
I always felt the 6.4 and 5.7 Hemi are perfect for camming. If you want serious horsepower, get a Hellcat. Go Bucks!
LOL! I've been a fan of RacerX since Demonology introduced this guy to me. As soon as I saw the Bucks shirt I knew this guy and I was kindred spirits! O-H...!
Absolutely.. agreed! O.H.
I.O
RacerX, are you in the central Ohio region?
@@dirtyjoe51 TexOHas
We're moving to California soon and are keeping our '18 Scat Pack forever. Wanted to put long tubes on but they won't pass inspection out there, so probably will just do more cosmetic stuff like matte '20 hood and quad tips. Already have the projector bee puddle lights. Performance wise, going with 305s in back, 275 in front, Firestone Indy 500s. What makes this car so great is the personalization choices are endless.
I would sell it and buy a used Hellcat if I was planning to mod the 392.
Totally agree. $/HP is astronomical for the 392! These cars are very well sorted stock with very little headroom to improve with bolt-ons.
@@horderelations4041 yeah man!
Definitely something to consider fishsticks 👍
The majority of hellcat owners beat on their car. It's so hard to find a quality hellcat that hasn't been molested. It's def a risk when buying used in general especially with a car such as the hellcat
I'll go ahead and give you numbers for a boosted stock motor 392. 651 whp on just 6.5 psi and 93 octane. It's my wife's 2017 Dodge Charger Daytona 392. Just to prove that the 392 loves boost and doesn't need much to put it well into the 10's we installed a ProCharger D1SC , long tube headers, and a muffler delete. The pcm is tuned with HP Tuners. My wife's best 1/4 mile E.T. to date is 10.75@125 mph. People get careless when boosting stock Hemi engines. Yes building the motor with forged internals is the only way to build big power but for less than $8900 you have a vehicle that is as quick through the 1/4 mile as most stock Hellcat's and still cost less.
Mikes05Hemi I got quoted $15k for a similar setup by a reputable hemi performance shop near me......seems like a waste of $$
Sounds about right, but the problem will be Consistency on how many runs will it last for with the stock pistons
@@ThemReaper5 my wife and I do all our own work. We also keep close watch on the datalog after each run. So far my wife has over 25 1/4 mile passes and at least that many 1/8 mile. Of course the main reason we build our cars is for daily driving bad ass cars!
@@mikereeves282 modifying cars will always seem like a waste of money to people who have to pay someone else to do it for them or people who just Don't get that adrenaline rush from speed or acceleration. It's kinda like we think people who spend money on cruises and elaborate vacations to foreign countries or exotic islands are just throwing money away. " To each his own ", I will admit this is an expensive hobby and if you don't have the money to spend and you're not able to put away for retirement you will not get your investment back. At least not monetarily anyway!
Mikes05Hemi agree with you. I am trying to decide the best move. Unlock pcm and mod my widebody or trade for a lightly used straight-body HC....about the same cost. I love my widebody and it’s been mine from new, but if I unlock pcm my warranty is gone. HC in stock form will still be supported by dodge
I ended up in an SRT392 (2018) because insurance was 1/3rd the cost of the hellcat. Immediately bolted a edelbrock 2650 (among a lot of other things..) to it. You're right on the money - keep it simple and low boost and it's an absolute blast. Made 635rwhp on just under 7psi and I've put close to 8,000 miles on it now with absolutely zero issues.
That’s a great setup.. keep it safe 👍
Very nice... considering the same for mine
Aside from the boost, what are the other things?
3 years have gone by, I'm interested on how that's held up?
Great video and very informative. I personally like my warranty.
I have a 2018 Dodge Charger scatpack, got a tazer from Z automotive, AFE Cai and oil catch can. .. coming up next #1 275 tires with 9.5 rim and last will be a corsa exhaust system. Good video btw!!👍🏻💪🏻
Those tires should make a difference for you 👍
+1 on changing to fatter rubber. Guys want to start the bolt-on proceedings, but fat rubber is a huge part of digging out quickly with all that torque.
Great video as always sir!! O-H!!!! Go Bucks!!
Thank you Jenny I.O
I added a Procharger to my stock 2012 Charger SRT 6.4 and for me it's really really way more fun. I don't drag or street race. I don't care about 0-60 times either. Just stepping on it from any speed is way better than stock. I've had this since 2017 and no problems so far. I haven't installed any gauges to see A/F ratio or boost. Every time I drive it I have to floor it. I love the sound of the Procharger and blow off valve. I left the underneath panels off but did the wheel well. The only other things I did was a Diablo tune but that's off now and a Corsa cat back.
I wanted to mod mine but not worth it for me. I’d rather keep it stock for resale value when I get the hellcat
I don’t blame you one bit ..👍
Facts 475 horse and sound good from factory! Now bigger tires you have to get!
I agree with you on that.
@@RacerX9 Should I mod it? Probably not. Will i mod it? Absolutely.
I love your videos RacerX! I would say if you want to go faster in a scat pack you need to really focus on lightening the car, rear suspension, and drag slicks (15" Conversion) THEN a hellcat intake system, long tube headers and a tune. Just my observations from reading a ton of forums and seeing the results at the track from other owners... Keep Kicking out the Great Content Man!
Great points buddy .. fully agree! I appreciate the support 👍
My 22 Challenger Scat had the 9" wheels with Goodyear 245s but my '23 has the 9.5s w/275 Pirellis and 6 piston brakes, its a big difference in how it drives. The dynamics package is worth it.
These car's are fun and fast from the gitgo, he's spot on. The tires are crap unless you love fishtailing around corners with little effort.....I need tires. The active exhaust sounds great from what I've been told.....I don't know never seen my car drive off without me, but it's quite in the cabin. The only thing I would change is add some electric exhaust cutouts....yeah like open pipes on my old T/A. CAI is a must I believe, that motor loves her air. And I've seen a few that have been cammed and tuned that does make a helluv a difference,but I would probably add oil catch can in there somewhere.
Kevin Newlan a cold air doesn’t work on the 6.4 the only airbox mod is add the lower Hellcat box,now if you have ported heads cams long tubes a cold air may work,but still I’ve seen 1000hp Hellcat’s that still use the stock airbox for a reason..really the best mod is to just add either turbos or a blower.
1st I want to say thanks for all these videos as someone who just bought a 2019 Challenger R/T(first time sports car owner) I’ve learned a lot since I stumbled onto your channel secondly is that an Ohio State Buckeyes shirt?
He's absolutely correct. I have researched superchargers and I spoke with an individual who builds race engines and the problem with boosting these engines is the pistons, the Hellcat has forged pistons and will take that pressure, the 392 doesn't have those forged pistons. He recommended an intercooled Magneson but that would only get me 150hp but he said anymore than that wouldn't be safe as far as the pistons are concerned. He did recommend, no matter what you do or don't do, is a catch-can. He said that would add life to the engine. Personally, I'm going to go with a catch-can to preserve the engine, a tuner to add a few more horses and make the most of racing fuel and arguably most important, NEW TIRES so I can hook rather than break the tires loose. It doesn't matter how much power you have if you don't have tires that will grab the pavement. I won't beat the Helltcat but it's still a lot of fun and still faster than most any other bone stock cars. By the way, I trust this guy, I've fact checked MUCH of what he's said and he hasn't been wrong yet, a couple debatable issues but that's it.
Well said mang! You nailed it when you said it'a a "cumulative effect". No single mod to a N/A 392 will make a huge difference in peak HP. It's all about a well thought out combo that is tuned to maximize performance UNDER THE CURVE that makes the biggest difference in the REAL WORLD or on a drag strip. 👍👊
Also I’ve dropped 487lbs out of the car for race day car is around 40xx lbs with me in it. Also Rob is doing a cam can’t wait to see what he gains .
Very nice and informative breakdown of if you want mod the 392. . I just wish they made it mod friendly.
Yes me too.. I appreciate it 👍
Great information 🤛🏼
Thank you Michael 👍
They specifically made the 6.2 for boost changing the compression. This is why i love the 392 built to be NA
If boost on a 392,
Go Forged pistons and rods and the sky is the limit.
Huss .. that is an option although an expensive way to go 👍
@@RacerX9
Yea, if u want safe and reliable 392 power you must have a deep wallet
Opinion on long tube headers on the scat? I've heard from 12 up to 46 HP gains. Any experience with headers?
@@jenelberry5011 honestly from what ive seen, if you want to fully benifit from Long tubes, get a cam with it. They work wonders together, oh and yes you need to either port you intake or go eddlebrook victor II
@@huss4783 I'm 530 to the wheels with LT, Big Cam, TB, Intake, basically FBO...Started at 426. Cams power is 1500-6800 and yes it has a trans tune
Great video, thanks! Tires are what I plan to do next.
That’s a solid plan Mike 👍
Currently have a cold air and corsa catback. I have corsa long tubes, catless midpipes, ported intake manifold, and 87mm throttle body waiting to be installed when I do my cam install next month. 500 whp should be a fun daily.
Love the buckeye shirt !!!! O-H
Oh damn I use to love you channel until you wore that shirt ! Go Blue. Just kidding great video as usual. Love your car so jealous ! Keep up the good work !
Great info I have a stock 19 charger scatpack been 12.03 116 with the stock tires on it removing the air filter
Good work Allen 🤜🔥🔥
My 2005 350z would go into safe mode if i pulled the air cleaner
Mods as you say can be costly, our 2019 scat pack Shaker, only added a fast man throttle body and what do you think going with a better rear tire, different brand AA rating and 255s, our 245s are 9" wide you can get 255s 9.5 to 10 depends on the manufacturer .....great information as always, ps we had a 2018 rt challenger 5.7 the 6.4 is a great choice .....
Just bought my 2016 Challenger Scat Pack 6Spd with 27k miles traded in my 2011 Tundra for it she’s so pretty :). Going to leave it stock for awhile. Once it’s time to change tires then I’ll throw some bigger boys on but the tires on it are brand new nitto Ventus v12. Other than that’s it just tires for me
Excellent video especially not starting at motor
I bought the MOPAR PERFORMANCE air box and put it on my scat pack before i heard about the Hellcat tube deal. I bought a AEM? tube($35) and its much better than the $350 MP air intake kit. Took a large hole saw and cut out the stock box for the tube then 3M epoxied it in
FYI.. you dont have to pull the heads to remove the springs. Your mixed up with the lifters.🤗
I put a scat pack exhaust on my 300c. Sounds great. Looking at the 6.1, 6.4 and 6.2 challengers now. Saw a scat pack with supercharger, a few hellcats and the 6.1 were low mileage and seemingly unmodded which I kind of like. Unsure if I want to start off with something supercharged or start N/A. The only superchargers I'd consider would be Mopar made or Whipple.
Catless midpipes from mmx and purchase HP tuners MPVI2 then have Satera tune the ECU and TCU. Purchase the aem x series 030-0334 wideband as well. I added the entire rear AADPERFORMANCE rear billet control arm package and P4D diff brace for peace of mind.
I have 22inch on 295tires back 265 on the front. About to get a tune.
I have owned Dozens and dozens of peformace cars that I built from Mild to Wild and then 1st things I usually would start with were tire, Wheels, Brakes
Petty’s garage has a package for scats the 600 hp package is 7500 and its uprgaded push rods ported heads, custom comp cam phase limter and a tune. I’m really considering that after I put headers and a 3 inch exhaust on my scat. My goal is 500 rwhp all N/A I know ima spend a lot but you gotta pay to play with MOPARS
RACER X 392 COMES MADE FROM THE FACTORY UNDER A PRECISE RUNNING MODE A NOTHING TO DO ON IT. THE ASSESSMENTS ON YOUR BEHALF ARE PERFECT. IT SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHED JUST RUNNED LIKE IT IS AN HAVE FUN. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT SUPER PERFORMANCE CHIPS PLACED ON THESE HEMI ENGINES FROM 5.7 TO 6.4s THANKS AND DO CONTINUE..GREAT PRESENTATIONS.
great video 👌
Thank you sir
Great info. Thanks. So that right shoulder, bicep, and forearm must be huge.
Haha.. dead arm from holding the phone 😂
Great vid! The one i simply don't agree with you on is the nitrous. I ran it on my scat & it never caused any problems for me. I was on 100 shot & it was safer than running boost while giving way more power than any cam & still being cheaper than both.
I have a good friend that runs a 100 shot on his '16 Scatty. He switched the intake to the Edelbrock and runs a Nitrous Express kit. 3 full race seasons later and he's had zero issues. For those interested in NOS in my experience: Wet kit is a must (Running a dry system is asking for trouble)! Good fuel! Find an excellent tuner who specializes in late gen Hemi's (SUPER IMPORTANT!). 75-100 HP shot is a nice sweet spot, 125 is pushing it a tad too much for my liking. There is always a risk so be informed.
Great points my friend.. tune is key
Watching this video made me feel a lot better about modding my 392. I’ve got a 2019 charger Scat Pack, got a CAI, Oil catch can, Long Tube Headers, Borla ATAK cat back, and I also did demon replica wheels. Running 315’s on the rear and 275’s on the front. Also I have a custom tune done as well and I’m making 463 WHP. Loving it so far.
Fergasons how much did you pay for all of that? I have a 2019 widebody scatpack challenger......only done muffler swap, catch can, HC airbox/filter/tube. A very reputable Hemi performance shop in my area told be $6k for longtubes/high flow cats and a pcm unlock and tune
I just seen a video of a 392 and an RT with the same mods, and let me tell you, the 392 is putting out some amazing numbers it’s making me wanna go sell my RT and say fk it on doing another payment plan for a scat. I’m just gonna grind out this year see how much I’m able to rack up in my account. And if a trade in with the X amount of money I drop can let me walk away with a scat I’m taking that route.
Good info racerx heard the same thing if 485 hp isn't enough cheaper to go with hellcat one draw back to the 6.4 no forged internals
Absolutely Matt 👍
Scat Packs are optimized very good from the factory, especially the newer models, no modding necessary IMO. Definitely go with 275s or 305s for rubber.
Hellcat 92mm throttle body with Khaos 6.4 - 6.2L intake adapter makes some really solid low end gains
Once you start modding, you will be modding and modding, adding more and more . now matter how much you do, there will always be someone out there faster ,/ quicker than you
I’m considering picking up a scat pack fastest thing I’ve probably drove was a 2017 expedition with the eco boost. How does the car feel when it comes to power and Handling?
Cam, Forged Pistons, Twin Turbos, Tune is what my plan is for a 1320
Great video! I have a T/A 392 with the stock 275 summer only tires. What 3 season tires would you recommend? I live in Mn and store the car for winter. Thanks.
Was there a screw or nail right in the top of the right rear tire when you were down beside it RacerX? I just seen that on here lol we just bought our 2nd Scatty. A 23 Last Call Shaker with the dynamic package. Sublime green, we are absolutely loving it! We used to have a standard hood 21 Scatty Challenger without the dynamic package, man those extra 30 mm of tire out back really help on this one now!
Hey X I’ve got an 2012 Charger with over one hundred thousand mile on it what be the suggestion of getting the max power gain from the 5.7 ?
When you port the THB and IMA do you need a tune first or can you get them ported and and put right back on with any gains?
I have a T/A 392. It has the Hellcat style intake/hood. It does run like a scalded cat but I really like the looks of the Shaker. Can I keep the intake (his filter looks identical to mine) but add the shaker and hood without a lot of work? What's a good tuner to allow me to run E-85? I'm in the middle of corn country and it's everywhere!
I have the challenger scat pack with the stock 245s. My question to you is can I put thicker tires on the stock wheels? Do you have to get thicker wheels in order to get thicker tires?
100 octane tune, lightweight wheels such as Billet Specialties and light tires along with some easy weight reduction. That the best ET gains from stock. My $1700 exhaust picked up ZERO ET and MPH. Leave the exhaust alone. I picked up a little with 1 7/8 headers and a little with a ported OEM intake and throttle body. The weight of these cars is what makes the hp advancement seem minimal as far as performance. I ran consistent 11.3 @ 121 with the above tweaks at +250-500 DA. I REALLY wanted to buy ported heads and a good cam, but at the time torque converters weren’t available. I wasnt gonna do any of those without the trifecta.....Cam/heads/converter. I’m sure I’d have been deep in the 10’s. I bought a Hellcat instead.
You give short shrift to nitrous. Perhaps a more in depth look at what a 75 - 100 shot of nitrous would do. Seems consensus is that 75-100 is perfectly fine in a 6.4 and a lot less expensive than 30 hp and $4k for a cam or exhaust or $10k for an SC and 6 psi.
Everyone already knows the STOCK internals are not up for a 150 hp gain regardless of how you get it. So I would appreciate a video of your assessment of a 75-100 system with a proper tune.
Love your videos keep up the great service.
Thanks.
If I could do it all over again I would have went that route with a good fuel setup, stray away from a cheap setup for the long haul and they will take a 150 with colder plugs, good fuel mixer 110 octain and a good tune
What made you pick the Shaker over the T/A ? Im thinking about buying the challenger 392 and im not sure which pkg to get
I’d keep it NA if your not willing to put 20k in beefing internals and forced air. Plus even more $. Nice catback long tubes and a cam is awesome build for this.
Your other videos of your Scat Pack Challenger vs your Hellcat Charger proved that power without traction is going no where. Car has plenty of street power... IMO aside from a tune money best spent will be in the suspension and chassis. Something to keep in mind too is that once you start modifying the engine (especially with a cam) is that you will need to go through with other mods like intake and exhaust to get the most benefit as all these components are engineered to work together.
A Hellcat is capable of Eco mode, which is roughly the same power as the 392.
I have catback, ca intake with hellcat box, ported throttle body, wheels and tires. If I wanted a cam and headers should I have it all done at same time with my 392? cam headers tune.
Good news. Just drive it!
i only planned on getting bigger tires for the backs but would it be worth it to tune it if i dont get any engine modifications ? going to be getting a 2019 in the spring
