5.7L Stroker or 392

Scatpack 6.4L 392 or 392 Stroker R/T? Dodge Charger & Challenger 5.7L 345 build or 6.4L 392 Scatpack powered by SRT engine. In this we will talk about doing a stroker kit on 5.7L 345 making it a 6.4 392 vs trading in for a 392 Scatpack Charger or Challenger. This is the age old debate of built vs bought performance. Better to build a 5.7L or trade in for the extra 100hp for the 392. If you have a Charger R/T or Challenger R/T should you do a 392 stroker or upgrade to a Scatpack 392?

Agreed. Also its important people purchase what they can afford and build. I don't know if you are in any of the Facebook groups or not but the amount of posts where people are buying Hellcats/Scats they can't afford is sickening.

I don't know if anybody mentioned it or not, but there are a lot more differences and improvements in the 392 over the 345. Just doing a stroker to the 5.7 is not the same.

The 392 manifold would be better for him than the 6.1 intake especially ported. 430 whp he’s making stock 392 power…..I rather start with a 392 and go from there because you don’t have to worry about stall or the trans. The scat trans will hold 650 whp. Hell a 392 with cam heads and forged pistons will put out about 120+ more whp than he’s making now N/A

[@FranksGarageOfficial]

What's up bro? You make a good point but the 6.1 intake manifold was better because the car is getting supercharged. The trans mission is built for around 900 whp. If you look into it the 392 dodge makes is actually based of the 5.7 so all the parts are interchangeable. I'm the owner btw lol. Everything you said was on point tho 👍🏾 just for my goals and budget this route made the most sense.

[@johnnykilroy9399]

This true 5.7 6.4 6.2 all have similar parts hell a 6.4 and a 6.2 share the same bore but are stroked different with different pistons. So yes all these hemi are very similar. But yea the 6.1 intake is definitely better for forced air 392s better for high compression. I get what you’re saying though about price especially when 392s are 50k plus now. Not mine got mine low 30s in 2018. Hell I make 510 whp and 500 torque N/A with money I put in it with mods I still doesn’t total up to 50k with the cost of the car.

[@RTLife]

The R/T, 392 & v6 all use the same 8hp70 trans. That said I understand your point, a stock 392 makes 420-430whp. But the point is on top of the increased purchase price (scatpack) you have to now drop in forged pistons/rods so you can run similar boost as this built 392 stroker. You are correct a cammed 392 with ported heads & other smaller bolts on will drop 500+whp N/A on dyno. With that said, it also has much higher compression - many (myself included) lower the compression on a built engine because it handles boost better.

Isn’t the scatpack a 392 R/T?

[@bamupnow8629]

He said it wrong it’s either you have a R/T scatpack or a SRT 392

[@RTLife]

Some have R/T on it - some don't. 2020+ Charger Scatpack has no R/T badges on it. Very confusing branding if you ask me. Either way - it's really Stroker 392 R/T or Scatpack. I just don't like making the titles so wordy

[@MastaKeahi]

@@RTLife gotcha yeah my scat pack is a 2020 and is labeled an R/T at least that’s what insurance classifies it as. That was the main thing keeping me from getting a hellcat.

[@lb9355]

392 Challengers are called R/T Scatpacks. I work at a Dodge dealer. That's the naming convention Dodge has gone with on the Challenger. On the Charger they're just called Scatpacks. It's been that way since Dodge took the SRT trim level away a few years ago.

The problem keeps seeing is the 5.7 can make scat pack power but but it costs yiu more than just upgrading to a scat pack.

392 r/t and scatpack are literally the same thing ma boy

[@FranksGarageOfficial]

Yes and no. Your not wrong but dodge has bad marketing. Before scatpacks all the 5.7 hemi cars were just "R/Ts". They only came up with r/t scatpacks because they also had SRT 392 cars and had to find a different name that people would recognize.

[@lilchickenwing7556]

@@FranksGarageOfficial no. The r/t 392 was made as a great value 392, it was meant to be a cheap way of getting into a 392, the srt 392 was the one that came with all the bells and whistles, srt is more than an engine, its a package, sure you can option a scat like an srt but its still not an srt, an lt1 camaro isnt an ss just cuz it has the same engine, it can be optioned out like one with brakes and suspension etc but its still not an ss

[@FranksGarageOfficial]

@@lilchickenwing7556 you literally said the same thing I did. I did say the were the same car. The need a different name that people would recognize hence R/T scatpack. The title of the video refers to 5.7 R/Ts that have been changed to 392 strokers as a option

[@StraightLaceENT]

Sounds more expensive 🤔

[@RTLife]

yah, but the advantage is you're getting a built engine that can handle more power.

[@benrojas5444]

@@RTLife But wouldnt you be able to build the 6.4 as well and get even more power? I am fairly new to this modding stuff.

[@RTLife]

With a 6.4L 392 you can do drop in pistons/rods with a cam & you're able to be make a ton of power for less than boring & stroking a 5.7. The only issue is, in many cases the 392 is a lot more expensive to get into over 5.7L (similar year/mileage/etc.)

[@FranksGarageOfficial]

It's not expensive compared to what you'd pay for a stock scatpack. It could get out of hand if you don't do research but it's actually simple to do. The easier rought is a clean 5.7 with proper ring gap, cam, forced induction, and a custom tune.

[@benrojas5444]

@@RTLife Ah ok, so its more of a "how much money you wanna drop" type deal

[@seanem7261]

I’ve been running boost on my 392 for awhile with the procharger tune and no issues. Too much timing and running lean is what destroys the pistons…this 392 can’t handle boost myth is just that , a myth.

[@FranksGarageOfficial]

For sure they can but a lot of people push it to far chasing numbers then 💥💥💥 lol

[@plap.]

Got to gap the rings on boost then it's fine. Not doing this is why people break pistons

[@seanem7261]

@@plap. naw , adding too much timing which causes detonation breaks pistons

[@plap.]

@@seanem7261 timing is easy 1.5 degrees for every lb of boost or so, it doesn't break them, its to easy to set. Rings without enough gap on a n/a motor that boost was added to close up when the extra heat from more power boosting expands and the ends touch. It breaks the top off the piston. Then every one thinks they lost weak internals and try to blame rods or some other BS. People are to lazy to pull the motor apart to add more gap to the rings for boost. Don't even have to buy anything. Just the time to pull out pistons file the stock ring ends and reinstall everything. No money just time to make the motor last with real boost not 3 to 5 psi to try and make it live being to lazy to do it right and save lots of money in the long run.

[@seanem7261]

@@plap. I never said timing in itself breaks pistons , I said too much will and cause detonation,detonation breaks pistons and I got 30k miles on 8psi , boost is boost , even 5 psi is still adding pressure, people have broke pistons on 5 psi due to detonation. I’m not sold on the ring gap theory, due to mine being fine after 30k miles of hard driving. If the gap was that close , I would have popped mine long time ago. 👍🏽 peace
