- Recently installed a cam in my 2016 Charger R/T with the 5.7L. The car is full bolt on and cam. We ran into some issues in the first few days but thankfully we have been able to resolve most of them.

Sounds great. I agree. I just cammed my RT with Comp Cams HRT Stage 2. I have high flow cats with my long tubes, but it is crazy loud. Some love it, some hate it and said its overly loud. And yes, tuning mine has been crazy. I used Hemifever. He did my initial stock tune, then all the bolt ons, but the cam has taken at least 6 tunes already.
Just checked out your idle video. Sounds great! The tuning stuff is just part of the game bro - I expected it
What made you chose stage 2 over the stage 3?
@@jbinas4807 sometimes more trans work with the cam 3 and 4
Hey I'm using the same tuner and thinking about the hrt stage 2 or the Texas speed stage 2 are you a 6speed or nag1?
@@mmastar14 8 speed auto.
Sounds Amazing! Way louder than my Scat. Nice Ride!!
Thanks man! I bet you’re still faster though lol
@@DonnySRT probably not
Gotta tune it for that daily use. And all cams you lose something on some point in the rpm range. Keep it up
Yea man. This tuning situation has been a nightmare
@@DonnySRT it's not like there is a cookie cutter one size fits all tune either. Too many variables like DA and mod types and driver modes to get the perfect tune
You’re totally right brother. But gosh I wish it was simple like that haha
@@DonnySRT lol by experience, you know more than me. I believe in you
I tool mine to a dyno tuner today. He is going to bring it in a week from this Saturday. He states that with the hemis and these cams, it is really hard to dial it in without a dyno tune. He said you can get it somewhat close and it will run, just like crap. He is going to dyno tune at several rpms to get the casual drive and wot all synced
I've heard very similar things with regards to how sensitive these things are. Keep me updated, bro.
Was hoping for some chop sounds. Sigh guess I'll have to wait.
Haha - there was a clip at the beginning! Will be more though
Had the exact same issues, I stalled at all the lights, and it acted a damn fool. I put a 4K stall converter on to help, still didn’t fully resolve. I went away from the email tune got it Dyno tuned made 403whp 20 more than the email tune and they worked the A/F ratio out and got it dead on, no stall issues, no flutter at low RPM, out runs stock scats and runs with ls3 corvettes. Great job with install, and content. Check my channel if you get curious as to what all I have done in my challenger.
Thanks man. I appreciate your input. When your car stalled, did it sometimes need throttle input to fire back up?
DonnyR/T yes, especially if it was either shut off and restarted in rapid succession or if it stalled and I tried to get it going quickly after.
403whp , how does it outrun scats, they have 485 hp stock lol? Must be some new drivers especially if it runs with ls3s
@@jeffreygrech4274 stock scats on the dyno at like 403-410 unless you have a factory freak, 485 is crank horsepower.
I can imagine your car is super loud right now! My long tube headers go into the stock catback and I noticed a lot more volume and a lower deeper tone as soon as I installed the HRT cam. With a louder aftermarket catback it's gotta be significantly louder than that! Nice video man, it's good to see update videos from the guys who tried this cam out!
Yea it definitely sounds a lot meaner. Still working on this absolute tuning nightmare... When is your dyno tune date?
@@DonnySRT Trying for sometime this week!
How much did the hrt cam make on the dyno?
Definitely it sounds awesome. Definitely a large cam needs a tuning. Low vacuum requires a different fuel delivery, but once it’s done it’s going to work. I guess you’re planning to take it to Dragstrip to compare with stock ones. Good job!!!!
Thanks man! Yea, remote tuning doesnt seem to be working. If it was a mechanical issue the car wouldn’t run at all, so I’m likely taking it to get dyno tuned
DonnyR/T a Dyno tuning certainly will solve the problem. Watch for air fuel ratio at idle, you probably have to run a bit richer.
If by any chance you read this just know the problem you had of the tune not working properly is probably from the 6.4 intake manifold, that tune probably is for a regular 5.7 manifold
Damn I want to cam my RT Challenger but I'm nervous. Mine is brand new and I don't want to kill my warranty. Yours sounds awesome by the way!
Yea I don’t blame you. I went two ish years before doing anything. Enjoy the stock car for a little lol
@@DonnySRT lol. You're right bro. I've already completed a major interior upgrade. I might just hold off and enjoy the ride for awhile. Just subbed by the way as well 😎
@@gcash81001 Damn that's insane! Sorry to hear that but I'm glad they got it resolved bro
Go for it warranty is BS anyways, they will deny you for not changing the oil on time and lie about that to your face, just mod it you won't regret it
Glad ya got it figured out. I have the Comp Cams 270 and I lost alot of lowend power when I went to th420is cam. I am getting ready to do a 3200 RPM stall to get the low back. But what is helping you is the 6.4 intake on the lowend. With my cam now and the 6.4 intake when I hit second gear at WOT the car starts to slide sideways and throws you back in the seat. My dyno I was putting down over 420HP at the wheels before the 6.4 intake.
Any vids
@@just_a5.7 Nah I really don't take any vids.
Thanks man. Sounds pretty impressive. We are having serious problems tuning it. I am probably gonna take it to get dyno tuned
@@DonnySRT Just curious what are the specs on your cam. If it's the new gen HRT cams I have been hearing that they are really hard to setup. Even though I have been thinking about going to the Stage 3 HRT cam. But that's probably the best way is going to the Dyno.
Nice to see it up and running once you get her tuned and all the kinks worked out I'm excited to see more of that Beast
Thank you! Trust me I’m anxious to get the tune figured out. Apparently I’m not the only one experiencing tuning issues with this cam right now lol
Dude everything u explained about the tuning issue was so on point what happened to me but for me for some reason any sudden breaking would also cause stalling long idling at lights would make my truck start jumping and shi
That cam “chopping” noise is called lope. Its not a misfire.
First person ever to want to quiet it down. ASININE
Man I really want to cam my 18 charger Daytona
In my personal opinion, I would enjoy the car for a little longer before doing major work. It never drives the same
Man, I wish I had a project car in 2020 lol
great job dude! im getting there in my youtube build.
Thank you! Takes a good bit of time and patience
My chop was cool but not consistent. Mine would idle and die in Park, Reverse with brake on, or Drive with break on. Then it was too rich, too lean. And yes I felt the loss from take off just normal driving. I have moments when it surges, almost jerking forward. Have you had that issue?
Yes, very similar issues actually. Currently still working to get them resolved
How do you resolve that?
Have the same cam on my challenger rt with stock manifold and straight pipe no cats either and I love the sound. Probably would sound better with headers and exhaust so that’s coming next. But anyway yours sounds great! Keep up the good work!
When you purchase a came, what else needs to go with it.. to have that choppy idle like this
Awesome Donny《☆》R/T sounds good. Too bad you had to tear it apart twice but it does help give you assurance that everything is kosher besides the tune. You got a Baaadddaaasss car now that you built yourself🤓👍🏾that's the cool factor :*: Greetings from⛾Florida🤳my friend🤓🗣🔊☮✌👍🏾
Haha thanks bro - and yea, it was a paranoia thing for me as well, so it was worth it to check the internals
Man can't wait to see your gains on the dyno!! Vs what you had before
I hope i can get this tune figured out before I go back to school - such a pain in the ass
@@DonnySRT Damm its becoming that big of a problem ? Have you hit up MPR or full-blown motorsports
Gonna start reaching out soon - probably won’t ever do remote tuning again
@@DonnySRT yeah a couple of my boys have srt and they started of that way but said going to a shop was a lot easier and saw a bigger difference
@@DonnySRT that's my next move
Damn Bro!! I appreciate your determination.
defo work out the tuning bugs first.once its right then go race.
I agree - hopefully 1 more revision
What are the pushrod specs for the hrt stage 2 cam kit
Bruh I'm not making my car quiet 🤣🤣🤣 your car sounds beautiful bruh don't change that shit. ppl work too hard for our money 💰
What cam is it
Headers 134 or 178 ?
What’s your setup?
Hi i had question i want cam my 5.7 challenger but i live in Northern ca. They told me up here i can't pass smog if i do it can you help me out
When is the next video? Are you going to do 0 to 60s, 0 to 100, and maybe some roll accelerations?
Very soon man. Everything is kinda hectic right now
Stage 1 or 2?
Did you jsut buy the cam? Or what other parts do I need to upgrade to install the cam and have it running fine
Love it 🔥💪🏽
You should get a torque converter regardless bc you’ll drop your percentage on drivetrain loss.
I agree but mostly because it's kinda a turd off the line now
What all done to it for it to sound like that
I have a challenger RT and want to cam, but know nothing on how to do that or what I need. I only have it straight piped and it has a cold air intake. Any help on what to do
Hey wen u put hellcat lifters on it did u get rid of that tick
bro i have a question. did you change your fuel injectors when you did your cam?
Hey man are you ever gonna get a race going on with rt drod? And by the way what happened to his channel nothing is in there anymore.
Why didn’t you just get it dyno?
How much horsepower did it give you ?
Hey, just asking real quick, when you had the cam installed, were you able to drive it to the tune shop? Or how did that process go?
I had to get a remote tune in order to drive it to the dyno tuning shop
@@DonnySRT nicee. And I'm hearing thats about $400
What happened to rt drod?
Is that coronado island?
Would you get a pedal box? Thoughts on those?
They’re kinda more for throttle response if I understand, right? I don’t really care much I’d rather use the 300 on tires
That 11-14 charger
Do you still have it
Yes!
What size cam do you have
I don’t know if I want an 8 speed R/T Charger or 06-10 SRT8 Charger 🥵
The 6.1 is a tank but man the 8 speed is a game changer
DonnyR/T Yep, the 6.1 is better for mods isn’t it? I wish Dodge could put the 6.1’s in R/T’s paired with an 8 speed!
Right? I originally wanted to find a 6.1 to build and learn on. I’m still passively shopping around for one honestly
SRT all the way , the NAG 1 is electronic controlled and anyway you will be needing a tcm tune ,plus the gearing in the 5 speed is good !
Yes the 6.1s are the best route plus if you can find them you will have money left over for mods, only thing that really holds them back are the 3:06 rear gears, but 3:55 or 3:73 and a tune, it’ll cut a whole second off your 1/4, it’ll eat scats with ease
What cam is this ?
What cam are you running?
Change the exhaust tips please 😂
You need a dyno tune
Agreed, but that’s easier said than done in California
go to MPR
Yooo I need this done over the weekend bro. About how much for a nice cam and dyno tune? And how long for the installation
Price for everything, expect to pay 5-6k if you don’t install it yourself.
Does it add power
Yes
Sound good bro, yo did you gain hp? And how come I dont here a chop chop cam
Thanks. I put an idle clip at the beginning with chop. Sometimes on cold starts it takes a minute to idle down
Did you do lifters and the other stuff with the cam?
Yup!
@DonnySRT is all that stuff must have or no?
E85?
Wanna get her running on 91 first haha
Everyone I know that went e85 switched back to a 91 pump gas custom tune and were much happier
@@rkkustom and why is that ?
So what’re you going to be doing about smog?
Only the exhaust should be an issue
DonnyR/T how are you planning on getting around it? I been wanting long tube headers but am afraid of the whole smog situations
Adrian Alvarez just gotta fine someone who’ll do a hot smog for you
Dev0Sev that’s the part I’m scared of is not being able to 😂
Hey bro! Great video🔥 i am thinking about camming my charger 5.7 too! Quick question, how much it usually cost for the whole process?
Check out my channel I made a detailed video on the cost
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Race a stock 392
When I get the tune figured out
😁
Get a proper hp tune, there done
Latest video!
?
No, I tutor someone out there
sorry im putting it up there though the first street seemed familiar 🤣 keep up the good content though
Lol no worries bro. Thanks for the support
Remote tunes are terrible for cammed cars especially 5.7s
Yea man, slowly regretting it
@@DonnySRT where are your issues with tune? Low end or top end? If top end get a wideband. For low end it's a PITA on these cars cuz VVT so you gotta cheat by playing with injector scaling so it can take a lot of revisions. After 8-9 revisions my car still has a slight lean tip at ~1500rpm but I'm done messing with it until my superchargers installed.
Low end issues. Getting surging/stalling when coming to a stop. Third parties say the logs look way too rich but tuner is blaming it on other issues with the car. At this point, I am confident it isn't a mechanical issue because of the huge discrepancies between each tune
@@DonnySRT look at your fuel trims, wherever it surges/stalls pay attention to the numbers. If they go lower than -15 it's too rich or higher than 15 it's too lean. Triple check vacuum leaks, I swore for weeks my one cammed 5.7 was mechanically perfect but ended up finding 3 tiny vacuum leaks that altogether made it seem drastic. I'm gonna guess this is a 270 cam?
@@732Mopars Close guess... where were your vacuum leaks? I've got new intake manifold gaskets and made sure to connect the brake booster.
