    Post Upgrade help for an SRT-8

    6.1 Supercharger package-$7569.99
    Quaife Differential 6.1$1699.99
    B&G SRT-8 Stage 2 Flash $619.99
    Kooks 1 7/8" x 3" Stainless Steel Headers w/ 3" Metallic Catted Connection w/ O2 Extension Kit (2-18" and 2-6")$1589.99
    Corssa 6.1 RSC-Dual Rear Exit w/Single 4.0" Pro-Series Tips$1449.99
    DUB Air Induction; 2005-07 300C, Magnum, Charger SRT-8 6.1L$359.99


    First off the Supercharger, Am I going to need anything else in order to ensure quality and life of my charger after thats installed, I.E new transmission etc?

    And the Differential, Do i even need this? how much will it improve the performance of my Charger?

    On to the headers, How much expected increase in HP you think would come out of these? Are they the "best" for the SRT application or am i being lied to?

    Corssa Exhaust, Was told it would be the best for sounds inside and outside car along with increased flow compared to stock. Is this true?

    The DUB air induction i have heard allot of good things about but with the super charger i shouldn't even need this right?

    Think those prices are fair? If you can get better please let me know

    Thanks for your time guys, and putting up with my n00b questions.

    who's S/C? if it's GSM, be prepared to buy a new motor in a few months

    forget the Dub and get an Air Hammer...

    There are plenty of arizona guys on the forums that can show you what you need to do.

    Ported and polished heads (talk to Frank Racing)
    Cam (talk to Frank Racing)
    Headers (kooks are good, talk to HHP)
    high flow cats (get em with the kooks)
    cat back exhaust (all about the same performance wise, its about the sound)
    Cold air intake (either the Hammer or get the airaid with hood scoop attachment)
    b&g stage II (will come in handy when you start serious modding)

    Those items will get you well on your way. Id hold off on the super charger for awhile. There really isnt any solid tuning for it and you will most likely have lots of trouble with it.

    Blow off the quaife too, if you start hitting the track, it might cause axle issues.

    As far as the pricing, check out the site vendors here. High Horse Performance and Tbyrne have great prices. Give em a call, im sure you will surprise yourself how much you can save with a little effort.

    Like the others I would hold off on the S/C unless you plan on doing a stroker or forging the internals...wait til we have a better tuning solution.
    As far as the other items..they all look pretty good I posted some likes below to teh items in question at site vendor BMCP...she has better prices than what you posted..shoot Lisa @ BMCP a pm if you are in teh market for those parts and she will hook ya up

    Kooks
    http://www.bmcperf.com/shop/product....cat=321&page=1
    Lisa has these in stock and ready to go!

    She can also get most of the CAI's

    One other note...you may want to hold off on the B&G ..Diablo will be coming out w a tuner for our cars in the next few months..so you may not need the B&G.

    Definitely scout all our supporting vendors for prices and go from there. I think there's a header sale currently running... IMHO you did pick the best headers and cat-back, but I agree, forget the DUB intake and get an Airhammer. The Quaife will get the power to the ground but you may want to wait until stronger halfshafts are available, people have been busting them.
    I also agree on the Supercharger. Arizona Speed & Marine has a safer kit than GSM, to my knowledge they've had no casualties. But there's still not a GREAT way to tune the motor, so heads/cam and maybe a B&G Stage III would do you more good for now. Or, yeah, for the money, just step it up and build a stroker.

    Frank Racing has a set of SRT kooks LT headers in stock. They will probably make you a good deal.

    Thanks for your help guys.....I figured the SC wouldnt really be practical for right now but wanted to ask and those prices came from Tbyrne.

    Always call the vendor, sometimes they have group buys you dont realize are going on.

    You got your answer on this. Also do a search to learn more about why you should not do it.

    Quaife Differential 6.1$1699.99

    Won't do you much good for right now. It works good on its own, but it amplifies the weakness of the halfshafts.

    B&G SRT-8 Stage 2 Flash $619.99

    A decent option, but wait a few weeks (more like a month or two probably) because Diablosport Tuners posted here that they will have an actual FULL tuner available soon. Not limited parameters like the B&G, but full tunes.


    Kooks 1 7/8" x 3" Stainless Steel Headers w/ 3" Metallic Catted Connection w/ O2 Extension Kit (2-18" and 2-6")$1589.99

    Kooks makes a fine product, but until you get into SERIOUS engine mods, the SRT headers work VERY well. Most SRT owners will tell you the same thing.

    Corssa 6.1 RSC-Dual Rear Exit w/Single 4.0" Pro-Series Tips$1449.99

    The catbacks a re good, but can be pricey. I went with Blastin' Bob's Fat Pipes (basically a resonator delete) and lost weight and freed up a lot of backpressure for a good hp gain, and the sound is incredible (better than MOST catbacks).

    I then added DMH electric cutouts. That is the true sound of the car.

    DUB Air Induction; 2005-07 300C, Magnum, Charger SRT-8 6.1L$359.99

    I used the DUB before I had my Shaker hood made for me. It worked great and I not only got a hp gain, but it boosted my fuel economy by 2mpg. Right now the big rage is the Air Hammer, and rightfully so... better gains and louder sound.
