This thread is about the Scat Pack performance package. This is the mod, not the trim level on the '15+.

I wish this was my great idea, but after chatting via PM with EddieFL for a few days, he mentioned started a thread for Scat Pack owners. Great idea Eddie so here it is. :beerchug:

As some of you probably already know I've had my SP1 standing by for install for a few months now. My car is riding out the winter in the garage as it usually does, BUT some of you in warmer climates are fortunate enough to be able to add things like this in the winter. Eddie, I'm talking about you down there in sunny Florida.

Anyway, we thought we'd start a thread for the Scat Pack owners to talk about their cars and this package. Is it on order, do you have it waiting to be installed, or is it already on? Maybe you just want to talk about it in general. Do you like the way it sounds, the way it performs, or something else.

So lets talk Scat Pack. Sadly no I can't start the thread with photos since I'm still waiting for spring to take it to the dealership to be installed. Besides, there's not really a lot to see on the '14 since the package doesn't come with rims or anything like the '15 does. Hopefully Eddie, or some of you other SP owners who are lurking out there, may be able to get us started.





PS, it should go without saying, but you don't have to be a SP owner to post. I just thought it would be nice to have a place for the owners to talk, and for people considering the package to talk to people who have it.

Great idea, but since you are talking about the Mopar Scat pack performance packages and not the new 2015 Scat Pack Charger, this thread should probably be in the Performance discussion/modification section.

You also might consider changing the thread title to reflect that the discussion is about the Mopar packages rather than the Scat Pack model itself.

 

[Gladiator]

I agree but won't make that change unilaterally. Say the word and I'll make the changes. I think the thread title is more important than the forum change. Seeing this thread my first thought was that you got a new car.

 

[Shots]

Thanks. I'll adjust the title. If you could relocate to the appropriate section, I'd appreciate it.

This is for the Scat Pack upgrade kits and here's a little history on them and what they mean today...

Yes they are pricey, the aftermarket CAN do just as well or better with less money, and these basic upgrades through the aftermarket won't ruin your warranty, but...If you want the most reliable, turnkey, hassle-free option from Mopar itself then you should definitely look at the SP kits. MSRP is definitely expensive but like most other things, you won't actually pay MSRP on it if you look at some of our sponsors that sell them. I ordered mine last week through Speedlogix and can't wait for it to get here and install it, I'll update once it's on the car and post pics!

While these are great packages, it is important to read the warranty information. These packages replace your OEM warranty on the selected parts and systems and replace them with the Mopar limited warranty.

Know what you are getting into warranty wise and enjoy the SP performance!

When that article came out ( from the second link Eddie posted) I was hooked. It looks like they've got it on the 100th anniversary edition cars in those photos, which is also a nice touch. I'd love to get my hands on that stage 3 kit, but the stage 1 is hard enough to justify the expense of. Of course like Eddie said, you should be able to find it for less than the MSRP. The real question is how much less can you find it for.

Yeah I would definitely want level 3 too but I would be happy with level 2, getting 400 HP at the crank is my goal and if I can do it with the scat packs at less than MSRP and a more reasonable price then that would be awesome. I believe there was somebody else on here trying to get level 2 ordered but he couldn't find a part number or anything, and I haven't seen them for sale anywhere either. Mine is officially ordered and paid for so I should get it by the end of the week hopefully, then it's off to my dealership for install. And I also ordered the Mopar front lip spoiler and t-handle shifter, sticking to the Mopar theme with my 100th AE!

If anybody with the SP that has already done the install reads this, how much have you guys paid for installation at the dealership? I will be installing the shifter myself but I'll have them put the front spoiler and everything else on.

Thanks!

 

[Shots]

Oh, you can do the front spoiler. I did mine, it's a cake walk. I even did it in my freezing garage last winter, so with FL temps it shouldn't even be uncomfortable.

Excuse my lack of knowledge but what is the Scat Package and what's the difference between the 1-3?

 

[Shots]

No need to feel bad about not knowing. The Scat Pack is a performance package available from Dodge for the 11+ Charger (Challenger and Dart).

SP1 is an intake, exhaust, performance oil filter, and tuned PCM.
SP2 is everything from SP1, with the addition of a cam.
SP3 is everything from SP2, with heads, and a different exhaust which includes headers and a side exhaust.
Each package also comes with the bee badges showing a number denoting the package number. Here's a photo from allpar showing the badge for the SP3.

I think that's all of it. I'll see if I can track down the specifics on them to confirm I got it all, along with MSRP's.

It looks like I already have the SP1 done with my current mods lol. How much is the SP3 and I don't know how I feel about having side exhausts (that'll be a pain to lift the vehicle)

The SP3 is way too much lol. It is around 5K IN ADDITION to SP1 and SP2's roughly 2k each. So if you wanted all three, and you do have to get 1 before you get 2, and 2 before you get 3...so you would be looking at 9K before installation for all three which is insane for 58 HP and torque. I got SP1 because I wanted those three mods from Mopar, and I may get SP2 in the future but that is where I'll stop. If you already have some mods and are comfortable with tuners and do your own work or have a trusted shop to do it for you then I would say pass on the SP, they are more for people who just want to plug and play without tearing into the engine or messing with tuners/tunes. I want to do a cam without ruining my warranty or having to deal with dynos or tuning so SP2 would be ideal for me.

 

[Ddaddy]

Has anyone actually been able to get the SP 2 or SP 3 packages?

I can't find them available anywhere nor can I find anyone who has gotten them, much less has them installed.

 

[rob-2]

There is a video online of Dodge showing you the difference between stock and SP3 on the 5.7 hemi challenger.

Whoa!!! I'd rather buy the heads and cam and have my performance shop do it. They said it would be less than 5k for me to buy heads and a cam and have them install it. I have a diablo tuner and I could always give one of the custom tuners on here a shout and pay to have it custom tuned instead of having a dyno done.

Yeah that would make much more sense for you, sounds like a plan! I wish I had a good performance shop near by, I live in Tallahassee which is a small city so the aftermarket support here sucks, unless you are trying to customize a truck to go muddin' lol. I'm sure I could find someone to do the work but I also just bought my car new (six months ago) and I don't want to tear it up with serious mods that will bring warranty issues. It's also my only car so I need it as reliable as possible. That's why I went with the SP.

Yeah I haven't seen anyone that sells them yet, Speedlogix doesn't even have them advertised on their site, they only have SP1. I am going to email them and see if it's Mopar that hasn't released them or if it's just performance shops that are not ordering them to have for sale.
