hmm.. not sure about that. I read that they were all locked down, even the SRT-8 versions. There were a few places claiming to have cracked it, but it was bogus.. they used the PCM and wiring harness from 2010 models and tune with them and superchargers (making 650+whp!) but it costs like $10k (WTF?!)

Yeeaah, no way!

Tuned(older) RT's/bolt on's run in the mid-high 12's (albiet no more than 108'ish mph trap) so they're not completely horrible. Blown 5.7s run the same as S197's/blown (low 12s/high 11's). They're so beefy though so it take a little more power to get them down the 1320..

deep pockets buy a 440/forged/blown with a built trans and costs a ton, but that's rich mans land. But also running 9's..

The SRT 8 that was made before the 392 is able to take a tune, the 392 is locked and still not able to tune right now, bunch of people at predator and diablo are trying to crack it.

The 392's are sick.. if only they were AWD and with a drivetrain that could handle it

I do honestly like that charger but goddamn it weighs too much. How much weight can you take out of it? I'd go that route along with adding this mods that you mentioned.

The guy I know has his PCM out right now with a certain tuner working on it... very close from my understanding to getting it all done.

I don't mind the weight, the motor makes enough power that it doesn't matter too much. I actually like the heavy weight lol feels like a friggin' tank blasting through all the snow up here!

You're right though.. 4600 lbs. (me included, 4700 lbs. me and my girl) is friggin' beefy as hell!

Not bad, but this time around it's either a twin screw or TVS! I am doing it right the first time with this car! rofl


lol I wouldn't be surprised if he got a cease and desist letter from Ralph Gilles personally.. those bastards really got that pcm on lock down! lol

I had an evo for awhile. The AWD is nice but if you plan on drag-racing it a lot then I would plan on beefing up the clutch before you do anything else... and clutches are expensive when it comes to anything AWD.

with a car that big and heavy putting out that much power I wouldn't be suprised if it came with a twin-disc from the factory though.

I don't know if it's working yet but some people are buying a different PCM all together and having them programed, haven't seen any feedback though.

stealth_GT

it's an auto, with their signature 5 speed auto thats been around forever. I read both the auto and transfer case can handle about 450 lbs. of torque, but that's right at max.

They have some impressive built autos/transfer cases I seen, pretty much bullet proof but it'll burn a whole in your wallet lol

I might just skip motor mods altogether and just build up the auto trans (built trans/high stall torque converter) and once a tuner comes out, have the mods I've listed earlier. The motor is great.. that's not the problem, the problem is the dreaded factory tune, no tire chirping shifts just yet lol

It lacks the ability to shift quickly enough... and rightfully so, it's a "sports sedan" with MPGs to maintain.


Theres an older 300C AWD 5.7/supercharged running at the track @11.8/120mph that first caught my eye.. it launches VERY hard and shifts super quick. I didn't think they were fast either at first..

Im thinking you will see twice the ET gain just from the torque converter than you will see from thise bolt ons with no tune.


I would say that the converter will knock you down to about 13.5ish...

hold off on the other stuff until its unlocked and can be tuned
