Hello everyone,
Just wanted to post this so anyone considering the mods for a 5.7 has an idea of expected results.
I am heading back to the dyno tomorrow morning for post mod pulls....but my initial run with just a canned 93 tune, and super 44 exhaust a few years ago gave me 361 RWHP and 373 tq.
I know this is on the higher end, but I'm not a dyno tech so I cannot answer as to why this is. It just is for my particular car.
I have the 2011 RT with the following mods. All 392 parts were purchased on the forums in support of one another. Thanks to each of you for helping me out.
I'm breaking loose easier in first and getting 2nd gear chirp in auto stick. I'm not making 392 power I don't think...but hoping I'm not too far away. We shall see....
Throttle response is damn near immediate, and there is no slack in pickup down low. I honestly feel like I have a new engine again.
Mods:
392 intake and injectors -$175
392 shorties and high flow mids - $200
Super 44's with 3" pipes - $350
Machined my 5.7 heads -$500
Intake wire harness etc- $400
Spectre CAI -$150
180 T-Stat - $20
Custom email tune -$125
Right around 2k all said and done
I have a mild cam sitting in my garage but wanted to do this first, so the cam will have its own dyno in the future.
If you have a 5.7 and haven't done much to it....I highly recommend these easy to install mods. Inexpensive, but a whole lot of fun. Butt dyno says very noticeable difference : )
