Alrighty guys it’ll be time to rebuild, forge and pick a supercharger kit for my crusty Challenger soon, which ones are the best? Which brand has had the least amount of issues with our cars? I’m not looking to send this thing in to space, so I’m looking to have a cozy 750 hp but still keep this thing on the road for another 100k Miles.
Best blower for a car that is Street driven more than the track. In my opinion best blower at the track also. KB and Whipple both make awesome kits. No doubt about it. I just like the power curve with the centrifugal up high vs a PD which is instant and tapering off. Procharger has cooler IAT generally. There are exceptions to every rule including this. I'm sure someone can tell you why they prefer the other but for me procharger is the blower I built my build around
Oh okay so by the description of the power curve you mentioned, correct me if I'm wrong, a Whipple or KB kit will generally launch with plenty of power but will lose power on the high end as where a ProCharger kit will reel in opponents with its top end power? Generally speaking

About 20k, I'd like to keep the 6.1 as opposed to getting a stroked motor. But yeah is 750 not doable for a daily driven vehicle? But actually that was a typo I meant 650
Good luck. I've had 500hp on previous car that was light but 500-550 on street tires is IMO limit. Of course different tires can change that but I ran NT555s with a different platform and was pretty good. Vortech blower, 928 impeller, FBO fuel system etc 19psi and 1st and second was useless.
I don't mean to sound skeptical, but how do hellcats do it? Their rwhp is somewhere in the high 600s isn't it? Tires are all good though I'll slap on my racestars to play in Mexico [emoji1166]
Obviously you've never been in a hellcat u wot with stock tires. Unless it's 70 or above your just spinning. Again if you plan on driving on street radials you may be ok. 750 DD just seems pretty intense unless your investing a lot and not just in over ie suspension tires brakes supporting coolant mods brakes etc
Yeah I've never been in one, all that will come though I'd hate to half ass a build and pay for it later down the line when the car breaks something because of supporting mods I didn't have. If 650DD is rough then I'll aim lower. I've just seen a lot of speed shops with different packages that offer different stages for the 6.1. 700 being the max but yeah I originally meant 650.
You can build anything you want but when comes to a daily driver you won’t like driving anything over 600. There’s a line in the sand you cross from being enjoyable and being a race car. You can’t forget that building starts at the motor and ends at the rear end. Everything in between has to be built to.
Everything !! So 20k turns to 30k after you break it

Just put a blower on it and be happy under 600 hp. That’s less then 10k. I know you think your do for a rebuild but for now through a eforce or whipple on it and have fun.
hellcat short block(when they were $3700) maggie with 10.5 lbs of boost, arrington heads and cam package , shorty headers, cat back , shr trans, dss driveshaft, getrag 3.06, original tune by AJ (when at Arrington). those are the biggies.
no issues drives very nice, but at 40-60 mph floor it and go sideways. :racing:
I have the Edelbrock eForce and it makes 662hp at 12psi. The kit is very complete and looks almost stock-ish when installed. It makes almost no sound due to the design. The only problem seems to be that it is a bit small like the Maggie. If you are looking for something silent and looks like a factory install, Edelbrock is a good choice.

You could pick up a used procharger kit for 4k. There is also a used Edelbrock e Force in the classifieds for 4k I think. If you are frugal you can build for a fraction of new
I have heard the KB have heat soak issues, especially at the track. I will eventually be putting a whipple on mine. I will put a getrag setup in the rear to handle the extra power.
Procharger D1X . you can have entry level power until you need more . 600 up to-800 ish whp .on pump fuel...and you'll actually have a chance of it hooking on the street.
If you have 20k why not buy a hellcrate? There 13,9k. Drive shaft and axles. And do the tranny after it goes?. That's about 20k.
But like I said ,I'd just put a blower on what you have now and have fun
Jeeesus lol that's awesome. Maggie seems to be the blower of choice I've been seeing quite a bit. I'm surprised the stock axels are doing good still, I thought those for sure would need to be changed.
5.7 and 6.1 have different sized bottom balancers. I believe the 5.7 one is larger, so same pulley will produce less boost on a 5.7 vs 6.1 based engine, all other things equal.
At least that’s how I remember it, could be mistaken.

I am very happy with my procharger setup. After the e85 conversion i put down 630rwhp. I would take this car anywhere it drives just like stock all day long.I only go to the strip a couple times a year so i am by no means an expert driver but i have major problems with traction no matter what i try.I think a lot of that comes from the 3.55 rear gear. Besides the cam and intake manifold my motor is pretty much stock.Going on 3 years now with no problems at all at 7.9 lbs of boost. I am sure my tranny is taking a beating though lol. I say procharger all the way for the best street manners
The only reason I regeared was because I went procharger. Got suspension from spohn, bwoody and Lakewood. I'm hoping what I've put together equals traction
I'll keep you in mind! I'll probably be going the PD blower route. It'll be probably in another 5 months but, it's definitely coming off and I won't need it.
