The REAL Cost to Supercharge Your Hemi!

[@Leekthasavage]

Considering your expertise & availability, how much would it cost me to pay you to supercharge my 2018 5.7 hemi charger? All parts and labor included? Great content btw

[@tarikrobinson3397]

Same or put a video out there on what are decent prices for labor like what are high balling prices etc

These are great questions. I will make a video on the labor side of things this month and take some time and think about what I would charge. Prices vary wildly and unfortunately install quality does as well

[@leonardrice2830]

I have watched under two minutes of this video, and it is already clear that you are an intelligent, experienced, professional, voice of reason. Most people seem to focus and worry about just the engine. But there’s so much more to it especially in this age of computer control. Years ago when I was first learning about cars. I was told that the engine is actually the least important factor. Long time, engine builder and drag racer, Henry Jackson from cream Ridge New Jersey told me that the car itself is the most important part. You need a good solid body, chassis, rear, differential, brakes, steering, and transmission. The reasoning: you’re always going to be messing with the engine. I used to be an SRT fan and openly talk about how I hate what’s happened with the SRT culture, however, they did succeed in getting a very good platform out there in the hellcat and up trim. A lot of engineering and thinking, was taken care of so that you could get a very potent capable platform out of the box. Back engineering, a lesser platform is certainly possible but then you have all sorts of other related and downstream things to contend with. At the end of the day, for many dodge owners, the cheapest “Mod”, is an upgrade in vehicle. Hellcats are far from perfect so if you start with one, go after the weaknesses there like traction and put a real differential in the back like the drag pack cars have would be the way I would go if I ever went back to SRT.

What’s the hp difference from whipple supercharger and the hellcat supercharger, if you all know?

[@midnight347]

​@darryldz1290 hellcat blower is plenty capable of making far more than a stock engine can handle so it's moot imo. I don't think a 3 liter would make all that much more at pump gas stock motor boost levels. The hellcat blower would be much better for a stock engine better power curve.

[@Von_SRT]

⁠@@DarrylDzzwell with the hellcat itself it’s about a 150hp difference, so I guess it depends on how much boost you’re planning to run

I brought a 2017 challenger I could’ve gotten a scat pack but I did some research before I brought it and found that the 5.7 engine really responds better if you want to do modifications, compared to the other higher up scat packs and demons and hellcats, I’ve had mine for six months and it’s got 30,000 miles on it. It already had some modifications on it, a deleted mufflers, mopar cold air intake and that’s all I know. I want to put a supercharger on it someday soon, I love it. Appreciate your video!

What a great 4 video segment. I love listening to smart people when it comes to playing with cars. So I have a question Bernie. I have a 2019 new body style Ram 1500, 4x4 5.7 I bought new. She has 85K babied miles on her. 75% highway miles traveling. Never been off road. She has a 6 inch lift and I installed a Pulsar Computer programmer, and cold air intake. I am thinking about a whipple supercharger. Then I found your video. Would really like to know your thoughts about sticking a supercharger on that 5.7 with those miles on her.

[@lawerancelanham]

I've got an 05 model of the same. Am as curious as you are

[@CRASHBERN]

Thanks! I have no concerns with supercharging an 85k mile engine. To me, new engines are more of a wildcard than “seasoned” ones. I’ll throw forced induction on a 200k+ mile engine without a care in the world. It’s just everything else attached that may fall apart from abuse. As long as your truck is healthy and your tune is solid, these are reliable upgrades!

is it possible to do the hellcat supercharger swap on a 5.7 rt while under warranty 2023 charger rt

[@Hamsalad2]

It’s possible but you will probably void your warranty.

[@CRASHBERN]

It’s possible but the service department will deny any warranty claim that they can link to your supercharger install. For example, if your rear differential fails - some dealerships will say the extra power from this upgrade was the cause and then refuse to repair for free

[@midnight347]

You can do whatever you want under warranty but don't expect them to actually cover anything lol. My advice stop worrying about the warranty and just do what you wanna do just do your homework and be smart about your mods.

[@midnight347]

This is such a loaded question. Anything can blow up of its not tuned and driven properly even stock vehicles. When pushing the envelope you need to use best fuel possible. I.e. it's more likely to live at high power levels with e85 vs 91 pump gas just as an example. When pushing it you wanna have as much octane as you can or use e85. It's much more likely to stay alive at elevated power levels.. this goes with any engine when pushing it.
