hey someone was telling me with all the mods available right now for the 3.5's that we would be as fast as a stock hemi i dont think this is true at all what yall think

I guess it all depends. I think it would take the supercharger that MPSC is selling. But, I haven't seen anyone report back from having installed it.

welp... we start at 250HP... Let's say, best case scenario:

CAI .......................................+10HP
Exhaust .................................+10HP
headers .................................+8HP
B&G / Diablo tune.....................+20HP
supercharger @ "safe" 5PSI........+60-80HP?

Not saying mods would cumulatively stack up as presented above, but based on it a best case scenario might yield 360HP or more at the crank... If that's the case it'll take an RT, considering its also a lighter engine.

But that said -- if you're gonna shell out for all those add-ons, do you just trade up to a hemi and use that as your playground to mod in? I know most of us are so upside down on our car payments that a trade-up seems out of the question... But when ya consider the typically lower resale value (and reliability issues) of modded vehicals, ya gotta wonder...

You guys are running 15's now for the most part, 75hp shot of juice will get you in the 14's. I just ran a 14.5 with my 5985 lb Ram with a 100 shot at NEDW this Sunday. Without the juice, I run 15.5. Yup you folks should be able to run with a stock RT with some juice. 100 shot would be pretty quick.

When I raced at New England Dragway over the summer I raced Fester from Chargerforums and his R/T and I was on his rear bumper the whole time.
Only mods I have are exhaust and CAI

I don't doubt it happened... But I am very surprised, must not have been a good run for the RT. I mean, going by the numbers it seems an impossible feat -- 190 HP (maybe 210 with mods) at the crank versus 340HP, between two cars with the same basic drive train and similar weight?

Ya gotta admit, the math just doesn't add up to such a close pass...

I just had my car dyno`d and I`m putting out 190 HP at the rear wheels. and as far as the race there were many other forum members there like nhdave and sublimetime as witnesses
