It's kind of like an average-looking guy walking up to a lady and saying "I'm a 10 so you should go out with me." Only nobody will be impressed by the bluff, charm and bravado. They'll just shake their heads in pity.

It's more like stuffing a sock in your speedo.

You would do far better to install decent brakes on the car - the SE/SXT have very small rotors and single piston calipers that are really only good for ONE hard stop, then they fade quickly. Eventually the rotors will build up sticky spots from the pads due to the excess heat created by having too small a rotor. They will get really "grabby" in spots and make you think the rotors are warped (if you have dark spots on the rotors-"cementite"- then they are junk and need to be replaced anyway). The easiest cheapest way is to put the front rotors & calipers off an RT on the car, they bolt right on and make a huge difference (you can upgrade the rears later). Just go to any parts house and tell them you want the rotors & calipers (and caliper brackets) for a 2014 RT with 5.7 V8 - NEVER mention anything about a V6 or they will give you the same parts you already have.

The Se/SXT brakes are known as the BR3, the RT brakes are the BR5, and the police brakes are the BR9 (parts for the BR9 swap are very hard to find and expensive)

I have two 2016 V6's (SXT+ and a Rallye) and the first upgrade I did to both was to replace the brakes on both - the wife's Rallye has RT/BR5 brakes all around, and my SXT+ has the huge police/BR9 brakes.

You are absolutely right. The stock V6 single piston front brakes are lethargic at best and downright dangerous at worst. Brake fade is a huge problem and brake shudder occurs even during daily commutes. I swapped all four corners with a Power Stop Z23 kit for an R/T. That has been, bar none, the best modification I have done to this car. Better than my stereo upgrade and 12" sub. The braking confidence and predictably is astounding. It should be a crime for Dodge to put single piston front brakes on these cars.

Now get rid of those Z23 pads - I use Raybestos EHT ("Enhanced Hybrid Technology") on three of my four cars - they grip like crazy when cold and hot, unlike the Powerstop pads which are scary when cold- I nearly ran into the back of cars several times with the Z23's on my 2013 SE with the RT upgrade. I would use them on all four cars except they don't make them for the BR9 Police Package that I have on my car (I use Performance Friction pads with those).

Strangely, the pads in the picture came with the paperwork for Hawk HP pads... both are made in China and are likely the same pad using different names... no matter they work great.

I have a 2014 SXT Plus and wanted help in getting a ghost cam tune set up on it. Any ideas?

Look dude who cares what anyone else says are thinks if you like the sound of that I’d go with it I heard it and thought it sounded cool everyone says go with a v8 go with a v8 well If the buy me a v8 I’ll go with it but I got a v6 and not many people really do a lot of upgrades on then because there a v6 but maybe you could be the start of something you know the all hate yet most v6s with power upgrades will out do a v8 you want power of a hell cat you going to spend what 80k well if you got a v6 charger you could put 80k in and have just as good of a car

 

[ktmtigger]

Good first post. Unless you can do the machine work and flow test and program/tuning a v6 is not gonna be at hellcat power.

That makes absolutely no sense. Buy a used car + another $80k to make as good as a brand new $80k car? 🤔🤭😂
Not only would none of that work, but you’re also teaching the young man very bad economics.

young

Please do explain I bout a ex cop car with the 3.6 in it and I’ve got 10g in it and I’ve put 90k miles on it get compliments every time I go to a car show and if I was to put 80g in it i could have me a extremely nice car a crate hell cat engine is what 30k id still have 40k to spend on stuff to Customize it my way you can make it sound like a v8 who cares I still get better mpg I still have a charger I can put a ripp supercharger on it and what get 400 more hp out of the car for 7k so I’d have 700hp out of a v6

You have a a muscle car who cares what it sounds like so if you make it sound how you want that’s good anuf not many other people can even say theve got a muscle car and what your 16? That’s very impressive yk I’m 18 and none of my friends have a car like me and the don’t know really anything different I could tell them it’s a v8 and thed believe it

And you put 80k in any car it’ll be just as good if not better as the brand new car

You would still have an older used chassis and a v6

There is very little support for the v6. Yeah put a pro charger on it and get 6 to 700 hp then replace a trans everytime you smash the gas then rear drift, axles, subframe it doesn't end.
But I will agree you can spend your money on whatever you want but please start a thread on your car

Sigh…some people forget what it’s like being a teenager with a car to drive. Anyways, engine performance wise you may not get much out it so you could always make it into a better handler if you wanted to do something with it. Maybe a subtle drop and better struts. Better brake pads and rotors. Drive the car as long as you can while getting a degree or doing a trade…whatever career path you decide. Once your finances are in line then get a better car. Good luck.

7K will not get you 700HP PentaStar. That is just delusional.

Dollar for dollar you will always get more out of the V8 version of the car. Plain and simple.

Sounds like you are either new to the car scene, or just overly protective of owning a V6 when it really does no matter what you have long as you enjoy it.


Also, it's a 3 month old thread since the last response. Discussion has been dead for a while. Leave it be.

and crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, block.
But there is no way you are making 700hp with a RIPP supercharger on a v6. 400 would be impressive.

Yeah I'd like to see him try

If you look at my signature, I am on my second 3.6. I was not dissing your car. They are great cars, and you’re correct, most people don’t know the difference.

Others have listed the various reasons as to “why” it wouldn’t work. And there are already mods out there for the 3.6, take a look around the forum. It’s just mods that make sense.
And to answer your original question, it sounds like crap. I personally don’t care what type of car they are on, it ruins the car for me. I saw a Lotus Evora with one last night (probably wasn’t a ghost on that car) and it just totally made it funky in my opinion.

Bottom line, it’s your car, do what you want. But you asked.

You joined an hour ago to revive a 4 year old thread with that comment?
It'd be nice if you'd introduce yourself and your Charger (if you have one) instead.
To be honest, that attitude won't get you any respect here, and will eventually see you banned.
