CAMMED Charger R/T: First Impressions

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Recently installed a cam in my 2016 Charger R/T with the 5.7L. The car is full bolt on and cam. We ran into some issues in the first few days but thankfully we have been able to resolve most of them.

    Sounds great. I agree. I just cammed my RT with Comp Cams HRT Stage 2. I have high flow cats with my long tubes, but it is crazy loud. Some love it, some hate it and said its overly loud. And yes, tuning mine has been crazy. I used Hemifever. He did my initial stock tune, then all the bolt ons, but the cam has taken at least 6 tunes already.

    I can imagine your car is super loud right now! My long tube headers go into the stock catback and I noticed a lot more volume and a lower deeper tone as soon as I installed the HRT cam. With a louder aftermarket catback it's gotta be significantly louder than that! Nice video man, it's good to see update videos from the guys who tried this cam out!

    Glad ya got it figured out. I have the Comp Cams 270 and I lost alot of lowend power when I went to th420is cam. I am getting ready to do a 3200 RPM stall to get the low back. But what is helping you is the 6.4 intake on the lowend. With my cam now and the 6.4 intake when I hit second gear at WOT the car starts to slide sideways and throws you back in the seat. My dyno I was putting down over 420HP at the wheels before the 6.4 intake.

    Had the exact same issues, I stalled at all the lights, and it acted a damn fool. I put a 4K stall converter on to help, still didn’t fully resolve. I went away from the email tune got it Dyno tuned made 403whp 20 more than the email tune and they worked the A/F ratio out and got it dead on, no stall issues, no flutter at low RPM, out runs stock scats and runs with ls3 corvettes. Great job with install, and content. Check my channel if you get curious as to what all I have done in my challenger.

    @@DonnySRT where are your issues with tune? Low end or top end? If top end get a wideband. For low end it's a PITA on these cars cuz VVT so you gotta cheat by playing with injector scaling so it can take a lot of revisions. After 8-9 revisions my car still has a slight lean tip at ~1500rpm but I'm done messing with it until my superchargers installed.

    Low end issues. Getting surging/stalling when coming to a stop. Third parties say the logs look way too rich but tuner is blaming it on other issues with the car. At this point, I am confident it isn't a mechanical issue because of the huge discrepancies between each tune

    @@DonnySRT look at your fuel trims, wherever it surges/stalls pay attention to the numbers. If they go lower than -15 it's too rich or higher than 15 it's too lean. Triple check vacuum leaks, I swore for weeks my one cammed 5.7 was mechanically perfect but ended up finding 3 tiny vacuum leaks that altogether made it seem drastic. I'm gonna guess this is a 270 cam?
