WORST Charger Upgrades

Dodge Charger or Challenger upgrades that are HATED (throttle response device, pedal commander, roar pedal or PedalBox) & Loved within the community. Here is a list of 5 upgrades that were met with a lot of hate & another list of 5 upgrades that had a ton of support. The Charger 6.5L 397 Twin-Turbo Widebody R/T has had many upgrades to get to this point. Both Long & Short Tube Headers - multiple camshaft upgrades & catback exhausts.

My build has been called "Rice" many times. Which means "Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement"

[@TA_Plus_Hemi]

Bullshit, it's the real deal.

[@joshreynolds729]

Your cars not 🍚 🤣. Rice would be neon lights all over, stickers covering it, a big tow hook, Kirky seats, camber, fart cans, burble tunes, and a whole lot of pole smoking 🤣. It’s all good man it’s like that everywhere in every club and every car meet. It’s always nice car…….but……. Insert penis. No compliment comes and if it does it’s followed by but. Everybody’s a critic but drives a pos or has some shop do all the work for them.

Dude, you don't have stickers down the door, soccer ball sized muffler tips and an A pillar full of gauges that don't do anything.

Yo R/T Life first of all you came a long way with your R/T and it will always be a R/T. You put in so much work, time, and money into your car that it’s a icon. You will get hated on what you do regardless that’s just life but always keep in mind ITS YOUR CAR fuck what anyone has to say, you build it the way you want it, it’s your vision and screw what others has to say. Just keep doing what you do best bro the real ones got your back 💪🏾

[@dennishudnall9009]

Love all your upgrades and modifications you have done to your Charger so far! I went with a Roar Pedal for my Challenger and love it. I turned it off once and hated how bogged down it felt after keeping mine set in race mode 24/7! Keep the awesome vids coming.

[@ed_rt]

One of my favorite visual mods you did it's that widebody ❤️‍🔥💯💯💯🔥

Bee looks awesome and shorties are th only way if your lowered. Can't go wrong with turbos.

[@ShaunJaySays]

Definitely liked the twin turbo setup

[@RTLife]

[@moparlifestylemel3237]

What about the rear-end upgrade? I upgraded my R/T to a 3.09 LSD and I absolutely love it. I see that yours isn’t stock anymore, but I don’t know which gears u went with.

[@RTLife]

Not much negative feedback on that 3.09 limited slip - most thought I should go with shorter gearing to help my 0-60+ times. Was a great upgrade - def a no brainer for 5.7 guys

[@dukesgarage42]

Shorty headers are normally used to make custom turbo manifolds in the LS world. Don't see why you can't do it with a Hemi. At the end of the day, it's you who is building the car to be what you envision. I've gotten grief for using EFI and a 5.9 Magnum in my 68 Dart

[@RTLife]

I think there's multiple reasons, but I think clearance & spacing is why Shorties are mostly used on Turbos setups. Either way, like you said it's all about your goals & who you're working with. No matter what you have, someone will have an issue with something. I've learned that along the way.

[@dukesgarage42]

@@RTLife very true. Shorty headers usually help turbos spool up quicker since exhaust gasses don't have to travel as far and allow it to equalize back pressure due to less volume to fill before the exhaust gasses work it's way out of the hot side of the turbo. My usual response to haters is "Lemme use YOUR credit card for ME to build MY car how YOU want it done."

[@JacksonShredder138]

I'm surprised that people didn't dig the stroker kit everybody's been doing it for decades great way to get big gains plus a cam NA without going the forced induction route. I do like the 345 hemi badge a little ricey but cool

[@RTLife]

I really thought everyone was going to be on board with the stroker, guess a lot of people are attached to the 345 displacement. Either way, I have no regrets with anything. It's been a ton of fun & there's still a lot more to come.

[@ghostchicken69]

Well the pedal commander is always my go to. I ordered my PC the day I bought my 5.7 and I don't remember the feeling of driving the car stock...

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Your rig is a great-looking and running car! I use the factory SRT "shorty" headers on my Challenger with 2015-current SRT mid pipes, picked up a heckuva good mid and top end charge and it also keeps it emissions legal because it uses factory parts with 02 sensors in stock locations. LT headers may give a few additional ponies but the tuning headaches with location of the rear 02 sensors are not worth it to me. Pedal Commander? Mine took a dump on me during a road trip and had to stop on the road and clear about 8 DTC's, then disconnect the P.C. and ultimately tossed it in a dumpster the next day. I fixed throttle response with my Diablosport tuner, gave it 20% quicker and it runs great, same mod done on my '14 Chrysler 300C hemi car. That car uses JBA shorties on it and both cars use a ported throttle body from Fastman, they do work well and run real crisp. Challenger uses a Flowmaster SRT 3" cat back exhaust, and my Chrysler uses the factory R/T Challenger exhaust(quiet but effective). I run 180 F. thermostats in both cars with great results too. My Challenger returns me 24-27 mpg on the highway(manual trans), and the Chrysler(heavier car w/automatic)does about 22-24 mpg with the dreaded MDS system shut off. Great video, thanks man!

[@RTLife]

A lot of people don't realize how much HP/Torque the SRT exhaust manifolds will add. It's a great option for 5.7L guys esp. if you can get it used for a solid price. I def hear you on that Long tubes - that was my thoughts as well. I wanted a direct bolt on at that point & it helped with performance. Keep building & enjoying that Hemi

[@MM_in_Havasu]

@@RTLife yep! The Chrysler is known as "Sleeper" now. Both cars sure run great.

So you kept the original shorty headers on, even with all that other work? That's so awesome. I'm eventually doing those myself despite what everyone says 🔥

[@RTLife]

I ended up swapping the shorties back on when I went with the turbo setup. The long tubes took up to much space, we needed more clearance/space. The Shorty headers made a difference, I don't care what others say. I have the dyno slips to prove it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp65qaKZbJ6Laq8

Shorty headers are great when the old cast irons break The rap helps and the wide body helps you stand out The stroker kit will easily out perform a hellcat and be more reliable and have less insurance rates because they think its still a 5.7 And the pedal commander is great for better throttle response cus the throttle is delayed from the factory and is not like a traditional throttle cable

Hey now! I think I criticized your hood. I think my major concern was water getting in the engine compartment. That was a couple years ago though I think. Living in Commiefornia, I can't upgrade my Scat with nice things like full length headers or a Diablotune, so my hat is off to you. Have you considered a differential brace? They are only a few hundred bucks. I do have that on my list of upgrades, but since the charger is just my daily driver, and I don't beat on it, it's low priority. I did get the FR73 wheels in Satin Black from Factory Reproductions (staggered sizes). It's a shame that you can't get the rear in 18" for a taller sidewall when racing. You may want to take a look at them, very nice on the Charger. My car priority is my '68 Barracuda, since the state doesn't care about stuff older than 1975. It gets the headers, cam, forged pistons, internal balanced crank, cnc heads, ignition, dual quads, et cetera. Keep up the good work!

My xMOD dont sound like yours😅

[@RTLife]

Who's tuning it? Mine sounds a lot different now because of the turbos. Can't wait to do some HWY pulls & downshifts with turbos to see how the Xmod sounds now.

[@DCGEMINI202]

@@RTLife maybe yours sounds different because of the cam. Brian at DTP racing in chesepeake Virginia tuned it. (I think thats his name)

[@Costar1982]

Is twin turbo a cheaper option than a super charger

[@RTLife]

No. it's a lot more expensive, typically. Labor for install is #1 & material drives up costs. That said they're really efficient.

[@lisad9376]

F the haters!!! Sweet car😍

Thank you very much, def appreciate it

I want to cam an twin turbo my 300 ... What's a good place to get it

[@sinister6.450]

I say, fuk the haters. Your ride is a badass car and you've shared everything with us from the start and you didn't have too. I think quite a few people gained a lot of knowledge from your content. Keep it up man!!🤘🤘

Thanks man! It's been a lot of fun & wow did I learn a lot along the way. I really appreciate the support

[@benrojas5444]

Hey RT life, you happen to know if there are pentastar 3.6 stroker kits? Been lookin and can't seem to find any

[@RTLife]

I haven't been able to find one. The 2-3 best upgrades for 3.6L is twin-turbo system, cat-back exhaust & 3.09 limited slip - you will be fast!

[@benrojas5444]

@@RTLife I have the AWD system and i know it can get complicated from what i read. Thanks for the reply!

Does the killer be hood fit a hi ram??

[@mohamedabouradi7129]

Did you have any problems why the killer bee hood getting water in any electricity near the engine or the battery of you moved it? I’m thinking about getting the killer bee hood but I’m scared I’ll damage some things within time can I be sure of that

[@RTLife]

You will love the Killer bee hood. Just cover the vent over the intake & you will be just fine. It has been such a great upgrade since installing it.

[@FLYxxBOY]

​@RTLife are you still running that without hood pins? Any issues? I'm about to pull the trigger on it but that's my only hangup, don't like the look of hood pins on that.

[@bennydrives]

Was that a reference to modern red hemi? 👀 Also it’d be nice if you actually raced your car. “Twin turbo rt vs ______” would def get clicks

[@RTLife]

Which part? I will race it once I have it back.

[@bennydrives]

@@RTLife excited to see that, the part where you mentioned belt slippage

[@RTLife]

@@bennydrives no. Although he’s mentioned it in the past but not really as an excuse for a lost race. It took a really long time to save up for a built transmission & all new fueling to handle the 770+whp - I’ll be back racing & having fun.

[@bennydrives]

@@RTLife that’s exciting for sure. I’ve been subbed for nearly 2 years I think. I used to have a cammed RT 5spd nearly fbo then I sold it unfortunately lol I miss it. Crazy to see how far you’ve come with yours.

[@TA_Plus_Hemi]

I don't like all the up-badging whining. Too many people wanting to control others' decisions. Why do they care so much?

[@RTLife]

I have no clue. My guess is they paid for a widebody & don't want others enjoying the look without paying the $$$

[@TA_Plus_Hemi]

@@RTLife I believe the same thing honestly. I find it ironic that most of them tend to run around parroting, "Better built than bought", and not listening to themselves.

[@blades260]

Specifically for up-badging, and I mean actually putting a hellcat badge on an RT, is kind of cringe imo. I don't care too much to make a gripe about it but I understand where those who do come from. The gripe about having an after market OEM styled widebody kit on the other hand is just insane to me. It's a cosmetic upgrade, it's not performance inspired or anything (aside from meaty tires?)

[@RTLife]

Upbadging is def a big NO-NO in my book. I don't care how fast your car is - either no badges or keep the badging proper. Styling though, I say fair game. If you have a hellcat, throw a demon hood on it - just keep the hellcat badges on.

[@TA_Plus_Hemi]

I get what you're saying but there will be tribute cars being built. As long as they keep true to the tribute I won't point and laugh.

[@lioneltorrez1289]

Awesome list. I've been following your build for years as I am building mine also. I purchased a stroker kit from FRP Tuning and Ryan has been incredible every step of the way! I have his Mark 82 Cam currently and will be upgrading to his Tomohawk cam for the stroker. I know you follow my ig page also and I appreciate it. Looking forward to be featured in one of the videos soon! Stay tuned, Stroker should be wrapped up in a month or so! (IG Sancha_345)

[@RTLife]

I'm pumped for you man. Once everything is all dialed in you're going to have a blast! Keep me in the loop with your build - would love to have it up on the channel someday. Thanks man for continuing to support the channel.

[@igotadirtymind2010]

Continue to build up your car while your haters in the back lurking.

[@RTLife]

Will do. Plenty left to do for the R/T. Thanks man

[@igotadirtymind2010]

You’re welcome my brotha. Thank you for responding back and the motivation. Honestly I don’t see why your car is being called a “rice” car when you’re building performance and looks with top dollars while the actual “rice” drivers are doing exteriors on a budget. 🤷🏿‍♂️ people are really weird these days. Plus what you’re doing is a custom built to your liking and how you want your car to look and perform, honestly. Especially using twin-turbos. You’re the first that I have heard to use twin-turbos while most Mopar owners has a whipple.

[@timtresch4848]

Putting different body panels from a higher trim is NOT up-badging, its in the name up-BADGE, yeah if you had 392 or hellcat emblems on the car that wouls be lame. Tons of mustang guys put gt500 grills, bumpers, fenders etc on GTs/V6s. Car guys on youtube can be so stupid and illogical.
