You never regret something that you built. In truth you had a vision/dream and made it come true. I’m doing a similiar thing as you, and taking a lot of inspiration from your build. 2014 R/T Challenger Blacktop M6 (bought brand new in July 2014. $24k. Being a 6speed so it’s a proper drivers car not a drag racer. I’m staying NA for obvious reasons. I’d love to stroke it to 392/410 but my current parts are BBK long tubes with matching high flow cat mid pipes (not yet installed), Volant closed box CAI, Skip shift eliminator, custom 3” cat back system 3”Jones Xpipe-3”Cherry bomb M80, rear resonator delete, Pypes old school 3” square angle cut quad tips black, SRT demon replica wheels gloss black 9” front with 275 Arturo AZ850 10.5” rear 22mm offset with 315 AZ850 on rear. Diablo 91 octane tune via I3. About to get a Texas speed stage 3 cam installed along with headers then tuned by High PSI Performance in Harper Heights TX. I wish I had the funds for a ported 392 manifold install but just not there. On the interior I went with a carbon fiber theme to match my gunslinger 1970’s Hurst pistol grip (which I will be mating to a Beaton shifter for OEM handle) Once that is done I’ll build up funds for the stroker/full forged with 392 manifold, since I’m staying NA I’ll go with an ATI under drive pulley. After those mods I intend to go 1 piece driveshaft and possibly changing the 3.92 to 4.10. Living in Texas I’ll need/want to upgrade cooling system with Mishimoto radiator but won’t drop below 180tstat

Take it from a mopar mechanic I tell everyone the same thing. If you want a fun daily that's loud and has some pep get and can built over time. Get an r/t if you want an out the box fun muscle car and don't wanna out any more money or time in it get a scat. Half my shop has 5.7 powered cars, and almost all of us have done something to them. We just dropped a stage 3 cam and a bunch of other trash bin parts on an old 2011 ram. Fucker is making 400 to the wheels and my coworker only has 2100 in it. And 1k of it was the dyno tune price. Just depends what you want to do you can make a 5.7 fast like u can a 5.3 LS

For what it's worth, I love what you've done with that. Most of my KZread subscriptions come and go, but I've been happily stuck with you a couple of years now. Please, keep it up!

Love the build... I've been following you for many years now, and it's been a pleasure to see you, your family, and your channel grow.

Definitely inspired my R/T build and i appreciate your build. Sometimes you gotta stand out. 💯💪🏿

I've been a subscriber to your channel for quite a long time. And you've been working on that car for quite a long time. It's come out so nice. I like when guys make street cars out of their baby and not race cars. The car just stays usable and Fun to drive. You keep making videos and I'll keep watching them.

Been following for years. I got a 2018 R/T Daytona about the time you started posting. You and Modern Red Hemi have come a long way. I'm stilling get my 5.7 built, 430whp currently and engine is getting forged now.

“As long as your bank account is deep you can..” yeah I’ll stick to a Scat and cold air intake lol but respect to this monster build! 🥶🔥

Looks and sounds like one hell of a RT, I love my RT, great job my friend!

Im a corvette owner.. and i appreciate this build hands down ! Beautiful work

I’m glad you did it! Was fun watching the process. I bought an RT Challenger just after you, and just traded it for a Hellcat! Keep it up man and I look forward to to seeing the Scat take shape.

You have one of a kinda charger not much twin turbo r/t you have one of a kind build so thank you for sharing your build with us

Your car is amazing. 100% you were the inspiration for me to get my redeye and I’m actually going to get a new cam put in mine. Once you start building, you can never stop.😁👍

Been watching since the start nothing like doing your own build and what makes you happy!💯

Glad to see it on the road. It’s amazing! Very glad you left the r/t badge on. I left mine on too. 👍🏻

You KNOW I am an OG member here. I think you had 100 followers when I joined. Been a hell of a ride.

The most important thing is that YOU built this car for YOU. I know ass well it's a lot of work and especially, given the cost of late model Mopar parts, expensive. I've done much the same on our '14 Chrysler 300C 5.7 hemi car with a lot of bolt-on accessories, and a good hot tune in the PCM really woke this car up and made it run pretty hard for a "baby hemi" engine. It is a sleeper for sure now. Thanks for a cool video and good review of your '15 Charger, the mainstay of your channel! Drive it like ya stole it!

he'll yea man!! built 5.7s is a whole build category now glad i boosted mine

Build VS Buy, PLUS you built this KZread channel taking us along every step of the way while earning passive income. Win all around!!

If your in it for the long haul yes. But dealers want them original for resale . You had fun a great channel and everyone learned a ton so yeah great job well done

I don’t care what engine it is. It’s always fun seeing somebody build their car up from the ground up. I’ve always wanted to do something like that. I love what you done with your car.

Always found your videos helpful! Thank you, RT LIFE.

Built not brought, its a pretty nice build. Can't wait to finish mines!

I haven't seen your videos in a while, but it's nice to still see your build. I have a '15 RT Challenger 6spd MT. I would like to do some engine mods, but I'm taking my time enjoying it as is cus it brings back memories of my dad's 72 Charger with the 340 small block when we would stretch its legs

Been watching you for a long time glad your enjoying car, money well spent ‼️💯

I’m trying to get me an RT before the prices start rising again. Because of you, I’m gonna build it as well. Now I’ve only ever driving vehicles less than 300 hp(😢ik) but I can’t wait to get my hand on an RT.

I’m so glad to see you on my algorithm again 🐝

When it’s built, not bought and is a one off example! Price doesn’t matter! When it’s built for Smiles per Gallon and not resale value, price doesn’t matter! That’s one hell of a machine! Cudos to you Sir!

You will never see your money back on a car unless it is classic muscle. You know that going in and you except it. I have watched your channel for many years and you have come a long way on your journey. How you feel about it is all that matters.

Yo R/T is straight heat bro 🔥🔥🔥

Mane much love, OG follower here...

Thats a really nice build. I want to boost the srt but they don't do as well without changing some internals. I also saw that you had a Monte SS on that brief screen. I had an 86 SS with 383 stroker back in the days and damn do i miss that big ol monster. I want another but, they are currently asking a bit too much for those 305 HO. Damn i miss the old days(90's-2000s) when you can swap cars every year and pick up a beast of a car for under 10K.

Hey man love the build! And the power results! I have an R/T myself which I definitely think I want to your route in terms of power... I was thinking of purchasing a whipple and just throwing it on there mainly because I like the whine.. but the twin turbo setup sounds way better! I'm in the process of tuning but I'm not sure if I should go Diablo/HP/Underground.

Well said. I have a 2021 Widebody Challenger Scat Pack R/T 392 T/A with a 6-speed Tremec Manual and I am very happy with it. I've thought about installing a Hellcat supercharger on it just for the sake of that Hellcat supercharger whine, and the added horsepower, but I can't justify it. With the traction control on, I unintentionally get the backend to step out and it has so much pull in those first 3 gears. That 6.4 liter is no joke and it will bite you in the ass if you're not careful. That is why I can't justify adding that supercharger (at least right now).

Now this is a build. Not no get off the lot car and act like you build it. Congratulations on the beautiful car.

Great build I love it to guy thanks

He build his car the way he want so he did his way lots of people buy a car or truck and build there way wich is awesome

You really have me thinking about starting a KZread channel with my build. I have a 2011 RT that's been sitting for almost 3yrs because of this performance shop that screwed me over and life happening (wife, kids, new house, losing a couple of jobs etc). Now I'm getting back on my feet and found a performance shop that specializes on Mopar but I'm hesitant. Watching your videos help a lot man. Hopefully I find the courage to jump into this.

Got a unique car and built a channel with it did perfect.

Nice! My initial plans for my '23 RT Daytona have been met so far after less than 3 months of ownership. Nothing earth shattering, just a custom painted engine cover , catch can, 345 Mopar fender badges ( not cheepie Amazon knock-offs), trunk lid R/T emblem and a (as yet to be installed) 3.09 Mopar LSD. I'm not looking to make this a long involved custom build like yours, especially since I'm already 69 years young! Maybe some 275 size tires is next on the stock 9 inch rear wheels. It'll see some occassional 1/4 mile drag strip action on T&T events, some cars & coffee get togethers and maybe even some local car shows ( just because). The main thing is it's paid for with no car payments. Being a "Last Call" model, It'll probably never get the engine opened up or made any stronger, not even bolt ons.It is ( at least for now) plenty quick, fast, and loud enough for me.

Sweet build man. Been here since day 1. I share the same sentiments about starting from scratch on this platform. Do I regret it? No. But would I do it again? That's not as easy to answer.

A couple parts and you make scat power it's a no brainer. But making hellcat power is crazy

Finally a video that isn’t a car chase

Do whatever makes u happy,simple as that.

Man she looks great!

Great video brother! Now I gotta hold off on doing mine 😂 I agree with ya, no regrets but would I do it different knowing what I know now? Probably. Once I get the transmission back in I need to make a trip back down there!

Hell yah! To the Charger and Challenger R/Ts... I'd love to cruze in that HOT car in a minute.

The next thing you should do is scat pack or srt brakes and e85 flex fuel kit

Hellcat money spanks the hell out of a hellcat and has sentimental value into it. I definitely agree and recommend building a car at least once as an enthusiast just to experience the feeling when it's "done".

I’ll take my rt over anything any day even though it’s torn apart in my driveway and after the cam I only got to drive it 4 miles in limp mode for all 4 miles and had to push it because I couldn’t get it to start after it stalled the first time lol

At the end of the day.... it's all about happiness. If you're smiling, then it's money well spent.

THATS INSANE

Man, HELL YEAH it's worth it, that's the whole point of hot rodding! Cars like yours are the ones I usually don't "F" with because you don't know what's under the hood. RTs in particular are the Dodge version of a wolf in sheep's clothing, since you could buy one, like a 2015, strip the badges, mod the motor and troll the heck out of people.

Hey R/T Life, have you ever considered doing a video of just POV driving with this car?

I love Scat Packs, and I want one. Only thing is the price, especially compared to the amount of money I currently make, so I can only afford an R/T. But when I see videos of modified R/T Chargers/ Challengers, it pushes me to get one instead. Especially for the fact that “slightly” modified R/T can keep up with a stock 392, for less money.
