After doing every bolt on, cam, long tubes, etc. I have to say - in order to get to 392 power level you need either stroker or forced air. The displacement difference is big. Love my R/T though - wouldn't have done it any other way. Great video man & much respect to all mopars out there.

Boost it, DONE. Mine made +800 HP per 1/4 mile time and 1/4 mile MPH @ TX2K. Want to go fast just boost it. After all my upgrades 3 things stand out. Ported intake, E85, and BOOST. Have BMason design you a cam and port your intake and then put together a budget turbo set up. Although mine is a built engine i did over 600 on the stock bottom end without even ring gap. Its all like the LS stuff to my opinion. Just boost it and be done. If you want to make big power, forged pistons and rods and stud it and be done. Yes more expensive than a 6.4 but makes big reliable lower!

My 5.7 is currently at a shop, building a 392 stroker with forged pistons, rods, and crankshaft, and at the same time dropping in a boost cam. Going to be buying a whipple in the near future and also want to run e85.

I have a 5.7 Chally and am a lifelong car enthusiast. I looked at modifying my car and came to the following conclusions: 1) I would spend as much or more as if I just bought a 6.4. 2) the resulting car would not be as cohesive, or as well thought out, as the 6.4. 3) your typical shop would be reluctant to work on it. I ended up keeping mine stock and continued to mid my other rides, where my work and $ would result in an improved vehicle.

I’m with R/T Life. I’ve done every bolt on (depending on your definition of bolt on) and did the converter. With that, I am running very close to stock Scat times. 3.6 0-60 and 11.8 in the 1/4 mile. My next mod is ported heads and the suspension which should push me over the edge. Yes, the non forced induction route is expensive but it’s not about money for most of us 5.7 molders. It’s about taking the 5.7 to its limits (read sleeper so to speak). Yes, with the costs of the mods you could just get a Scat but personally, I have had an awesome time modding my 5.7 over the last 3+ years. Built vs bought. It’s a personal preference and decision.

Love my '14 R/T just for the looks alone. Doing small upgrades have been giving me good results. CAI and Catch Can came with it used. Having the death tick resolved as we speak (always get a good warranty and change your oil) costing over 5 grand. Long tubes and 90mm TB when I get her back. Running 13.05 in the quarter now. Should be in the 12's after those. It's all about the challenge of getting every pony possible without the bottle or blower. Yeah I could trade it and get a ScatPak but I love this car. Need stickier meats out back but the 305/35 Nitto555G2's are pretty good for now. Have fun.

This video very helpful! I'm purchasing a new to me vehicle within 3 months and the 2014 or newer Durango RT 5.7 is at the top of the food chain! All ill probably do is full bolt ons, headers and a tune, nothing too much as its gonna be my daily driver, thanks for the upload! Chrysler is currently making the hottest sexist vehicles right now.

After the cost analysis, it's more feasible to purchase the Scat Pak. Thank you RacerX!

Love your videoes thx for the info RacerX.

Thanks for the info Racer x

Great video, RacerX! Upgrading to wider wheels, wider tires, performance suspension and springs, installing larger rotors, four-pot calipers, and brake pads to safely support the added horsepower gains just about doubles the cost of modding your R/T to match the output power of a Scatpack, or rather at least make it as safe as a Scatpack with those extra 100 ponies. But admittedly, modding an R/T to this level carries a certain level of satisfaction of owning and racing a sleeper, especially if you can do most (if not all) of your own wrenching. The cumulative mods add very little to the value of the car because at the end of the day, your VIN still identifies your Mopar as an R/T. You may realize ten to twenty cents for every dollar you spend on mods, but only if you can find the right buyer who recognizes the value of your aftermarket modifications. I've done the math several times over the years and concluded every time that buying a used SRT-392 or Scatpack was the easiest and often less expensive way to go. Ironically when I was ready to move up from my R/T two years ago, I bought a 2015 Hellcat instead, and it wasn't much more than a used Scatpack.

Just got my 2017 RT. Have a few mods but want more speed now. I’m still learning the ins and outs and this was very informative. Thank you!

Speed is limited on gear ratios and HP/Torque only gets you to that speed faster. If you think getting more HP will make your can go faster it will but your speed/MPH top end will pretty consistently be the same without a transmission/rear gear change.

But then again... a preowned Scat Pack isn't too expensive either and you'll have a better baseline. I say just look around and be patient and go for the bigger displacement. Great vid!

Hell cat supercharger bolts right on simplicity is amazing with the fuel system and a tune your making some good smiles per gallon

Option 4: stroker. For 13k, all in, you can have a 400 c.i. Stroker from inertia motorsports installed, tuned, with some shorties and the STOCK exhaust.....500 horsepower at the crank or even more depending on your cam selection (which Stu will offer you cam choices), and that is a fully built, reliable build that will walk all over a stock scat pack. It’s a monster. You can spend more on the catback. Or a custom exhaust. Or long tubes, which would put you at a ridiculous 530 or 540 HP N/A. More than enough for the street and enough to make stock scat packs look silly, with the stock converter and everything believe it or not. All that being said....scat pack is the better value.

It has every amenity, extremely reliable and moves out fine while routinely getting 25-30 mpg, hwy. Yes, I'm old.)

It would be a little bit more depending on where you live etc. but the mods on an rt aren’t always covered by your insurance

Long tube headers, full exhaust, ported intake manifold, ported throttle body, cam and a good tune will get the 5.7 in the same power range as a 6.4, maybe a bit more, but it'll weigh less. Add some ported and polished heads with a valve job, and you're 5.7 is 500-510hp.

I know it happens, but that with my age and wife made me stop. My Charger is plenty fast and i don't drive much these days anyway. I can say i have had a wonderful life and enjoyed every Mopar (along with every other musclecar) i ever owned. So have fun guys... just be safe as possible.

You're living life to the fullest indeed. What year is your Charger R/T

Good video. Thanks.

I have heard that if you supercharge a 5.7 and don't beef up the transmission, you're asking for a failure. -- I noticed that in your list of mods, there weren't any recommendations in terms of beefier power train parts to handle the extra torque. Any thoughts on that? I'd hate to see someone spend 10-grand to make the R/T keep up with a Scat Pack, only to find out that the Scat Pack beefs up something to stand that power that the R/T won't be able to handle, long term. Even the valve train on the 5.7 has a reputation for getting loose and clicky after 80,000 miles. - I wonder how many power handling issues are addressed by Dodge when you bump up to the Scat Pack.

I'm a mustang guy but something about the chargers I've loved for a while now. I would consider getting the RT and doing that.

I’ve owned 3 mustangs (2005 GT, 2012 5.0, 2015 5.0) all modded. I traded in the ‘15 for a 2018 Scat Pack with the dynamics package. If you get a Charger, get the 6.4. YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE A 5.7 AS FAST AS A SCAT PACK??? TRADE IT IN FOR A SCAT PACK.

Chris Cook do you have a mustang though

Awesome video brotha and very informative but how does that effect the factory warranty?

I’ve been looking for this video forever!! So would you say it’s better to buy an R/T and mod it or go for the scat? Heard the scat comes stock already good to go and can’t do much more to it.

I have a 19 all back RT charget. Has enough horsepower for me. I’m not a track person, just a daily driver. I had a 20 scat pack, but I got rid of it and bought my wife a nice luxury car. This summer I’m looking at getting the LT1 camaro. Those things are impressive in 10’speed form

Add 5 horsepower by taking the engine cover off.

My Ram 1500 runs 395hp and 410 foot lbs of torque just need to lower it, bolt on a 6.4 intake and throttle body, and put on the hp70 transmission and then it's faster than a charger.

Good info racer x if I had to choose new 5.7 or 6.4 I think I would look at a slightly used hellcat

I was with you......right up to the Meador part....

Awesome video. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to explain every mod. It's hard to find a Scat pack brand new and appropriately priced so I went with the regular hemi and was wondering if I could make it as fast as the Scat pack. Based on the price I'd be better off trading up. All that being said, I don't race and don't plan on it so the r/t is more than enough for me. To be honest I'd be fine with an sxt or gt but I just love the sound of that hemi motor and how much more responsive it is.

I have a 2019 RT and I love it as my daily driver I’ve done a couple mods nothing crazy and may do a little more to make it more fun but it’s my daily driver and my first charger so I’ll keep it but for more power I’m buying a scatpack or a hellcat. I have people all the time say to me you should have bought a scatpack...I have a 3 year old and I’m just finishing nursing school I’ll get the scatpack don’t you worry but for right now I love my rt! Great video!!

This is my list mod I have planned for my SRT8 but it should boost the RT by a lot too. 1. K&N CAI 2. 85MM Throttle Body 3. Longtube Headers 3. Tune 4. Cat-Back Exhaust system 5. Cam 6. 315/30/20 Rear & 275/40/20 Front tires This should def add 100+ hp but not sure how much it will add to the wheels.

5.7 hemi is a really great daily driver fun car but they're def cut back from the factory, but they'll be just as fast as the 6.4 with the 6.4 intake, 6.4 cam your bolt on stuff etc

I've been watching many of your videos. I would really like to see a video of a Charger R/T 2020 vs a 2013-2014. A big difference that I like more about the 2013 and 2014 is the AWD. I live in Vermont and snow here can get bad and I want to use a R/T as a daily driver so for me I feel like the 2013 and 2014 is the better route.

Hello fellow Vermonter! I just brought home my 2021 RT a few days ago. Haven’t dared drive it in snow yet. Mine is the 6 speed manual, RWD. I don’t see many RT daily drivers around here. Mine will be once the Nokian snow tires come in.

Great information brother 👍, do you still have your Hellcat ??
