Supercharger build will be the way to go. If you're interested let me know. I paid 2170 bucks for my S/C and it's intercooled. It can be done for 1500 bucks though. Once again good kill!

That is definitely the long term goal (and why I got the 3.73 gears, 75mm TB/P, and upgraded to a 31 spline rear end/axles). I'm leaning towards a Vortech V-3, but I want to finish up the suspension (full coil-over setup)/brake upgrades first. So much to do!

Dude, I wish I could find an S/C for this thing anywhere close to that price. Lucky

My man you are driving a SRT-8 bro.. You're the one who's lucky. When I retire in 2 yrs I'm leaning towards a Challenger SRT-8. Those cars as long with the Chargers are bad a**!

I have always been a Mustang guy and have owned more than my fair share. But quitting them is like trying to quit smoking. When I get back from across the pond I intend on getting another one. Besides, I still have all my Mustang clothing, jackets and hats from my previous clubs that would suddenly match my ride. LOL

Stealth, just noticed your sig. Didn't realize you ran that R/T and got some times for her. Looks like that car must launch pretty damn hard with that stall and AWD. What did the rest of the slip look like?
Good run OP! Any Charger pulls pretty decent up top, imo.

It launches HARD but settles down quickly also. The stock tune is geared more towards "comfortable shifts" than performance lol
3.09 gears aren't spectacular either. I thought 3.31's were bad in 08 GT auto!
It also does some weird shiet in mid 3rd where the RPM's die down, get confused and then picks up again. Totally kills my trap speed.
A lot to overcome (massive size/weight, 20-25% drive-train loss, all season tires), but very surprised and satisfied with the results!
Deal!
Nice kill btw
