[@bluesteve1]

Definitely the most informative scatpack channel that I’ve found so far. I love the content

[@RacerX9]

Thank you my friend.. much appreciated

[@speedfreak9342]

Racer X, if the throttle body is changed, would a tune be needed? Great videos, love the channel!!

[@rlew8095]

I agree, great channel

[@AlyRaeKY]

Definitely! ❤️

[@randysmojo]

The 180 thermostat will not turn on the fans any sooner! It will open up flow of the coolant through your engine, but the fan turn on temp is controlled by the computer and would need a tuner to change that.

[@sunnyb4670]

Yup

[@craigsixta983]

Tazer may also do this.

[@r.bruceorrell6903]

HE IS FULL OF BS

[@b5blu392]

I thought the newer hemis came with 180° thermostat

[@billhoover2743]

Once I got to him saying the thermostat turns on the fans I quit the video, obviously does not know what he is talking about.

[@KaliCal]

Thanks RacerX. These mods make more sense to me now, where I was skeptical before. What size throttle body should I go with? Just love your channel. Thanks for all the great content.

[@cannaview_fl9494]

Just got my scat , and I’m in love. Thanks for the content ! Very informative , straight to the point , no bs. My kinda channel ! Subscribed !

RacerX by far the best straight up channel for the 392 hemi community thanks for all your work and information

[@invincible4927]

RacerX! First of all, I’m a huge fan of your channel...PLEASE keep it coming, and thank you. My question is, what (if any) power gains did you notice from the throttle body? That’s one of the next things I want to do with my Charger. Would you say it was worth it??

[@fast04hemi75]

Always informative videos!! Thank you RacerX. Love scatpacks and all things Mopar in general!!!!!

[@RacerX9]

Thank you my friend 👍

[@5637135]

Thank you! I did everything you recommended from this video I'm very satisfied, I bought the throttle body and catch can for my 2020 Challenger Scat Pack from Modern Muscle Extreme, and I told them RacerX recommended the parts. I really enjoy your videos keep them coming thanks again.

[@heidiimarquez]

which throttle body did you get? do you mind sending me the name of it because i dont know which one is the better/correct one

[@TechGeneralNick]

What website you go to?

[@ericmel0930]

Nice content RacerX, just picked up my destroyer gray 392 scatpack widebody challenger. Absolutely a beast! I appreciate the information 👍

[@DemocratsRDemons]

I added a 3" MBRP Racing catback fully stainless steel with quad tip carbon fiber covered tips. For about 1100 installed, it was the single biggest boost to the coolness of my WBSP. Rips at WOT.

[@werdluna]

Thanks for the info RacerX, love your vids, always informative and not biased. I ordered the 87mm throttle body after watching. One question I have is did you remove the cap from the passenger side light port?

[@michaelgroves3919]

One mod I would add to this list is a set of lowering springs. You can get a good set for around $290. This will make the car handle better.

[@SneakGeek01]

I’ve been watching your scar pack videos everyday lol I plan on buying one at the end of the year

[@roguerottweiler5105]

Hey R-X...I have a 2020 custom Widebody ScatPack on order, and I was considering a few of the incremental mods you have suggested in several of your videos to gain that "incremental" HP and/or health of the vehicle for a reasonable cost as follows (1) Oil Catch Can; (2) 84 or 87mm throttle body; (3) 180 Degree Thermostat; (4) Lower Hellcat Airbox and headlight RAM air tube; and a Borla Cat-Back Exhaust (i.e. either S-Type or ATAK, not sure yet)says for the S-Type or Atak Cat-Back exhaust, besides dropping a few pounds and the resonators along with it, Borla states it increases horsepower 10-12 HP gain. If true, by all accounts the throttle body with the Borla System should add about 15 to 17 HP, and perhaps another 3 to 5 HP with the lower Hellcat Airbox. So maybe 18 to 23 HP overall with those minor mods. Does that sound about right, and again that is presuming Borla's claim is accurate. I spoke with Ian over there and he said that is Dyno tested/proven. Thoughts? P.S. Really enjoy your channel. Thanks for the educational info-tainment buddy.

[@kE0N420]

Awesome to see i have same exact car, color year and shaker pkg. So far after a year i am still loving every minute of this thing!!!! Great videos too bud!

[@kE0N420]

One other thing, after a bunch of research before doing i went with Dynomax race bullets for $25 each x2 on Amazon. Pretty much equals out rather then going the cat delete route.

[@RacerX9]

The Scatpack is a ton of fun to drive and own 👍..

[@dennylowery8546]

I just did the mid muffler delete today on my 2016 scat pack. Wow what instant gratification!!! Thanks RacerX. I have been wondering if I should do it and your video made me go ahead and do it.

Always great stuff Mr X! Enjoying watching your videos on lock-down here in St. Louis. I did 3 T's on my '16 SP - Tazer, Tune & Tires. I know tune and tires are more than $300 each, but that's all it really needed to unlock it's true performance potential.

[@RacerX9]

zindallas .. agreed .. tune and tires make the biggest difference on these cars

[@zindallas]

@Scar face I've owned the car for a little over a year and been to the track a bunch of times with it. I'd say tune (both engine and tranny) and tires each cut about 2 to 3 tenths of a second off my times. Stock these will do high 12s. With tune, tires and some decent air this past Fall I ran 11.7

[@danteblrmf304]

zindallas I have a 2016 Scat and looking to do some mods. What kind of tuning do you suggest?

[@DZ-TX]

@@danteblrmf304 There are a number of good ones out there - I went with a Hemifever tune for both engine and transmission on mine and have been happy with it. www.hemifevertuning.com/

@@danteblrmf304 Here's some video I shot right after putting the tune on the car. Was a hot summer night and running into a pretty good headwind but still ran low 12s. Later in the Fall with better conditions got it down into the 11s. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIebdWWYhZJ2hrs

Mopar's never did like to run hot. Keeping cool was an old school trick on the old 440s. I ran my 440 6pack with a160 stat. Temp averaged 170. BIG difference that 30 - 40 degree coolant temp makes! Especially when hitting the NOS. Temp / Air Flow is a smart mod. Thanks RX

You have any recommendations on a specific throttle body or a specific size for one?

I think this is your best video! I agree 100 percent with all the mods. What do you this about adding high flow exhaust or will that void the warranty?

William Shaw .. it may void the exhaust warranty but it shouldn’t hurt the engine warranty at all

[@Sweetwarda]

I have a 2016 Charger SRT, deleting mid mufflers wont hurt the active exhaust? also only saw 87mm throttle body on the site.

[@andrewmcallister3780]

I heard that if you get a 180 thermostat it’s useless unless you tune the fans to or something of the sort. Otherwise it just stays open all the time.

Hey RacerX, would be glad to meet up with you some time, live south of Granbury TX, have a ‘16 Challenger Scat Pack. Love your videos man.

[@SixTwoHemi]

All good suggestions however the t-stat recommendation works better with a tune so you can adjust the fans because if the car isn’t tuned the fans will run prematurely because at idle the car will heat up quick until the radiator gets air flowing.

[@RacerX9]

6.4L HemiPower .. this is true.. a tune may help to keep the fans from turning on prematurely

[@lieutenantscatpackspencerw8888]

Could you provide links to purchase the catch can thermostat and intake?

[@1LE_Ciko]

Shaker hood beautiful

[@DJDinaggio]

Your videos are very informative but a couple of comments. 1. A lower temperature thermostat has no effect on the electric fan on/off set temperatures as these are programmed into the ECU. However if you have a stock thermostat and your fan on temperature has been reduced below that of the thermostat opening temperature, your fan will switch on earlier and will only switch off when you shut down the engine. If you have a 180*F thermostat, you ideally need the electric fan to switch on at ~195*F and off at ~185*F (slightly higher than thermostat opening temperature) so that it can cycle within a fairly narrow range. 2. The MMX ported throttle body is 87mm, not 78mm. The stock Scatpack throttle body is 80mm.

[@RacerX9]

You are exactly right on both accounts .. I caught a couple of things later where I mispoke.. good catch brother! I wanted to make a few alterations to the video but once it's out there you just kinda gotta roll with it

[@enriquegarcia1547]

Hi RacerX. I own a 6.4L 2022 Challenger Scat Pack and I'm considering replacing the throttle body. I checked the Modern Muscle Xtreme, but they are recommending 87mm., instead of the 78mm that you are mentioning in your video. Any suggestions?

[@Abb0nz1]

Won't the 180 thermostat require a tune? Not for the fans but because the car thinks the engine is not getting up to temp? Our 2012 charger did this when the thermostat failed and it was only getting to 185-190...

Shouldn't a engine run between 190-210, which is needed for piston expansion so your rings seat properly and other parts to expand for proper tolerances?
