Guy is to sell the car and get an SRT8. Guy would be retarded to put all that money into an R/T. I have 5k+ in mine and thats too much.

This will yield you more bang for buck:

They haven't set price yet, but have dynoed 393.88 RWHP 461.70 Lbs/Ft on an otherwise stock 5.7L!!
Run was done at 4 PSI.
Right now they have it set at 8 PSI and have been field testing for quite a while and are in final stages of emmision checks to make sure it passes...they will be doing a dyno here soon and start selling the kits...they estimate 450 RWHP @ 8 PSI.

I'm betting you can buy this and have it installed for well under 13k...prolly more like 8k installed....we'll see though.

Come on Kyle, that's not one of the options :rolleyes: :D

Truth be told, that does seem to be the best bang for the buck mod coming. And from what I've heard it's been hella reliable. I'm very curious to see how they are handling the fueling with that set up. Supposed to have much more info over the next 7 days or so to :cool:

Hey the dude said he had more money than brains, he just didn't think of the option. :)
The fueling is probably handled with larger injectors, pump, 2 bar map and Split Second electronics to tune it in...

Those torque numbers are incredible at 4psi...can't wait to see what he gets on 8....

How about CAI, comp cam, long tube headers, port and polish heads, and a catback? That will get you pretty close to an SRT8 and cost about $4k for the parts. A forum member here (FastMatt) dyno'd 346 rwhp with that setup. Then if that's not enough wait and see for the turbo mod.

Yeah I'm definately waiting for some numbers on the 8psi they've been running.

I hope they handle the fueling in that way, it's the only real safe way.
