Mod 1. Buy a demon
Mod 2. Several thousand packs of wet wipes and clean boxers
Lol thats good 🤣
Gary Pinkney you don’t have a demon I looked at your page. 😤
@@drediddy03 😂
80 thousand dollars....
@@kanoho2803 pocket change.
Get stickers on your bumper. Each sticker will add about 5hp
Bleach Latte 😂😂😂
Even more so when you up sticker : )
started winning more races with a SUPREME sticker on my bumper >=)
are you stupid.. it’s 10 🙄
No it doesn’t stupid🤦♂️
It adds torque
Okay to my 6.4 fam do not just slap on a supercharger you need to forge the internals
Nice review!
Also, one thing a person should keep in mind is that the factory exhaust keeps the 392 very quiet. As soon as you loose the factory exhaust your 392 will sound like a Tyrannasaurus rex roaring on your cold start. Women and children will run.
Thank you kind sir. I have been looking for something like this for a long time
Thanks bro for tsking your time and being informative abput each choice to add hp. Good videos
No problem broski!
A cold air intake will NOT gain you 15 to 20 horsepower. 3 to 5 if you're lucky.
Lennard Lennard gotta time any and ever mod u do for efficient effects
You can get UP TO 20 if you've done everything correctly.
@@wendigota8274 no, you can get 20 hp out of a tune after installing an intake, but more than likely you were able to get those 20 horses without the intake because the stock tune was concervative
@@_LEONKING_ I said UP TO. not guaranteeing you can even get a 5hp gain. But provided you install the cai, run a specific tune, will certain temps and specific gas, yeah you'll probably see a 15-20 hp increase. But if you just slap on a cai and drive around it'll be maybe 5-10hp increase at the most if you don't do anything else.
@@wendigota8274 but then you're not getting 20 hp out of an intake, you're getting most of that from fuel and tune not the intake.
Very good explanation. I like it 👍👍👍
Yeah forced induction is always the best way to go and then an aggressive cam would be 2nd. The other add-ons will bring minimal gains but replacing the stock exhaust is a must, well at least on the older hemis anyway. I know that the newer late model Hemi cars have active exhaust and is really good these days, but that was one of the first things that I did with my 2010 Challenger SRT8 as the factory set up was much too quiet and the massive suitcase Style resonators and mufflers are heavy as well
I will add the headers for the sound rather than the gains😏
Amen!
Excellent video!
CAI won’t add 20hp. Throttle body won’t either without injector and intake manifold upgrades. Headers are good for half your claim
Red Ram so what’s good mods
yea. this dude is just rambling off stuff and not going into what really goes into modding your engine. you cant just slap things on and expect your car to last long or run at all.. 😂
Great vid man.👍
2016 R/T thanks bro 🙏
I like the cost analysis. Did you use power bi for the graphs?
Excellent video bro, I'm still running 100% stock. Now i can get started on some mods.
No problem. Good luck on the build
Once you do a mod on any part of the engine from the throttle body to the Catalytic Converters (Basically anything other than a Cat Back and CAI) you need a Tuner anyway so your best money spent is to start there, a tuner and a good dyno tune. With that initial cost out of the way, Cams, heads, blowers, headers, etc. can be done and maximized. You'll need to retune after every mod!
I enjoy ur vids since I got my 14 Challenger rt it was something different for me but I enjoy my Challenger in looks and drivability
Yup challengers are awesome
Damn good Info brother
You forgot cam
Would these mods work on my 2013 r/t?
I have 2014 Challenger R/T 6 sos and with Shorty headers, high flow cats, No muffler or resonators, CAI, throttle body and spacer, and tuned on Dyno....puts 422 down at the wheels with 93 octane fuel. Baseline dyno run was 326whp.
I spent just under $2,000 on all that including the tuning and dyno.
Next I’ll probably do heads and cam and retune and hopefully pickup another 60whp.
not bad
Can you make up a list of all this? I got a 16 r/t trying to add good stuff to it
Right on Bro !!
Great info
Are those headers, 6 cylinder headers for the challenger?
Best vid yet 👌
Thanks bro 🙏
From what I've been seeing, headers and a good dyno tune could yield an additional 30 horsepower on the 5.7. I'd go for that mod just to round my 5.7 out to an even 400 hp.
will it pass inspection with headers?
@@xlightfootx Ha! well, I live in Oklahoma. There are no vehicle inspections here. The state did away with them back in 2001.
@@xlightfootx no it not smog legal, long tube headers you have to take off the catalytic Convertor which will set off the check engine light lol but short tube is not worth it since less power but still won’t pass visual inspection
LT Headers, Bigger TB, and CAI will get you 400 easy, but find a great tuner to dial it in!
@@alexhidalgo5966many states allow longtime headers. But most people doing longs go with catted mid pipes to stay smog legal. Those in C.A.R.B. states are limited to only 6.4 take off systems. It’s the closest to short tube headers possible.
My Cars twin.. in your video.. SUBSCRIBED ... LOL
Thanks bro!
Supercharging a stock 392 can be risky, if you keep the boost low, tune well, and maybe meth injection. The top piston rings are pretty close the the top of the piston, so not much meat above it. You heat them up too much, the ring gap closes, and the rings have to push upward possibly popping a chunk out of the piston. A big shot of nitrous can do this too. All this with an already high compression ratio. It can be done, you just need to plan ahead before you run a whole lot of boost
Thank you..Very good Presentation and Graph of cost/HP gained!!- James 2013 R/T +..White..Red RT stripe
Forced induction can be added to a fairly stock vehicle. I had an LS1 C5 with a Vortech V3si A&A supercharger and ran a Borla cat back. Otherwise the exhaust was stock. 9lbs of boost. Picked up right at 185 hp to the rear tires through an auto trans (470 whp). Installed and tuned cost about $7500 in 2011. Forced induction is the way to go. No bottle to refill. Good motor & supercharger longevity if serviced properly. RPM in Garner NC did the work.
Nice 👍 did RPM give you a warranty?
Vortech warranty - believe it was 3 yrs - 36,000 extended coverage (1 year standard)
Very nice good here if I want to go that route
Now I have a question. Will all of these mods make the car not pass emissions?
What wheels and tires do you have ?
i enjoyed this. what about the camshaft?
Good info! I purchased a used 2016 rt with 107000kms on it, think I will keep it stock because of the mileage but it's still quick enough for me!
That mileage is nothing, don't worry about that.
Nice video! Now we need a part 2 to that 392 race 👍🏽
Long Live S.K. Thanks bro, I’ll look into it 👍
I'm 18 and live in Virginia, I've started a channel, and im in the process of buying a 2015 R/T scat pack. Can't decided if I want a challenger or a charger tho.
C Tins804 I got me scat pack & had the same problem before I got it. U just gotta test drive both but u can't go wrong w either one
C Tins804 I decided to get the charger btw
Long Live S.K. all the guys at .y dealer don't want to give me there time because I'm 18....Its really annoying
Yeah you don't gain much from catbacks, and got SLP loudmouths on my challenger srt8. I didn't think that they would, but got them for the sound and do work well together with CAI to help it breathe better though. The SRT8 do have functional hood, but I've been thinking about going with a hellcat or demon one and would work great to cool off the engine bay. Then to complete that part of it, I want to add headers, throttle body, and retune it with my diablo
Remember, you're required to get a performance ECM for the 2015+ Dodge vehicles because Dodge locks the chips from the factory. I know you can pay Dodge to unlock it for you, but I've not looked into that option, plus I don't believe you're able to install custom tunes, which you will also be required to do with any of the other mods in this list. I'd also throw headers into the same category as the chip; while being not very cost effective, they're both almost mandatory if you start doing any serious modding to your vehicle.
Perhaps I missed it but if you drive a Challenger stock that's lower than the SRT versions, the best bang for buck mod you can do is buy better, wider tires. I know it doesn't add HP/TQ but I have a Scat with the stock 245's and I can't wait to buy my new tires. Spinning out sucks.
Everyone says that about the tires
How much horse power did you gain for both, catback and intake?
I think you got it spot on, man. Supercharger first. Bolt on maybe afterward
how much did that cost you? i have a '15 rt
I added a hellcat air box and a hellcat supercharger on my 2017 challenger rt and I had to put in a diff brace and a few more suspension parts to hold the 585 wheel hp
I'm looking todo the same to a 16 rt can you give me some info on where the best place to buy them are?
I have a challanger gt 2019 what headers should I get and what cold air intake should I get ?
Anthony Aranda I have a 2019 rt bro . Get long tubes if you can afford if not shorties . And you don’t need an intake . Get headers and tune
What’s good bro what’s the best way to reach out to you got some other questions to ask
Instagram @modernmuscle213
How well do you like the afe intake im interested in it thinking about getting one
what's the best tuner for a 2014 challenger 5.7?
The best Tuner is going to be a local one who can actually spend time with your vehicle. Canned tunes have had problems, where peoples cars have been running incredibly lean and they didnt know until they put it on the dyno.
Also a performance shop tuner will be able to get you the most horsepower compared to a hand held tuner.
But if you are looking for recommendations diablosport is the way to go. Best of luck
Good info
What chalanger do you have?
Can you add a Fuel Efficiency effect for each? You might add a Risk chart and one for difficulty? One advantage of forced induction is that it maintains power at high altitude.
This is so cool!!!! I've been binge watching videos since I decided to pay for my own uni tuition and a dodge challenger r/t. Currently about 1/3 of the way at 18 :) All these videos just make me more excited and determined
Toni Macaroni did you ever get it? I’m a college freshman and I just got my r/t
Jorge Lucero what year is your R/T
I went to college for 2 years and I left, and start working and got myself a 2018 Challenger R/T
I love ur vids. I have a question tho. Do you think its worth the money getting a Scat Pack instead of an R/T?
Yeah definitely go for the scat pack if you can
Thank you for your thought on it. It helps
I have the RT wanting to trade it for the scat pack soon
I threw on some RIPP coil packs on my Scat Pack and added about 20 hp. Easy install and not too expensive.
do you have the regular R/T. And if so what kind of mods have you put on it. I realized you've covered some in the vid, but i just want to be sure
I have a cold air intake and a cat back exhaust
Modern Muscle213 thanks for responding bro
The issue you run into with FI motors is long term longevity. You really have to forge the engine if you want it to last, especially if you're pushing more than 6 or 7 pounds of boost
How much performance improvement have you gotten? I see 6.4s still out run you
flame decals add exponential horsepower
Yep fo sho. Along with a pride flag
Don’t you have to get a tune to maximize the gain? And won’t that invalidate the warranty?
Yup
CAMS LIFTERS HEADS INTAKE PULLEYS
True 👌 might go in part two
Headers are more for switching between horse power and torque shorties for torque building and long tubes for horse power more top end speed vr exceleration
What about some high performance heads?
$100 Hellcat box, k&n,and tube from light to box
Lilbit I think he’s saying it’s a cheaper way rather than buying a $300+ kit , so you buy everything separate and it will be cheaper
@Lilbit Air Cleaner Body - Mopar (68175164AC) DUCT. Air Cleaner. Fresh Air. Part Number: 68322216AA. And K&N filter its about $140 all together its a little more now .sorry a little late on the response back.
I got borla exhaust on my 16 challenger rt, sounds like a beast!
how much did that cost you? i have a '15 rt
What is the name of the cold air intake?
Afe power momentum
Idk it seems like a nice k&n filter does just as good as a intake
Most of these will need a tune to see the full power gains, or any at all. Most of these wont do much on their own other than making the car sound a bit different...chips without a real dyno tune are a waste. Seeing dyno charts/runs and a combination of 2 or more of these modifications would be a nice video
Leaves out a lot of info
Headers may be one of the lowest on the list, but with every mod you do, it helps increase the gains for that specific mod... cam, heads, etc. The exhaust helps it breathe to make the power those others will bring to the table.
necstanunn very true the more mods the bigger those pipes need to be to take full advantage
Modern Muscle213 I have shorties on my Dodge, but wishing I did the long tubes.... buy once, cry once
necstanunn BBK makes long tube exhaust headers and they add 34hp and 45 tq
necstanunn is 100% correct as far as the 'chain reaction' in HP gains goes from one good mod on top of another. To get a good synergy going and to gain in the full HP/Torque curves, you need to compliment good air and fuel intake with exhaust as well as transmission to the rear wheels which is really what it's all about. You can have great numbers going in but if you can't transfer that to the pavement, and safely, without blowing your sh1t up or twisting your sh1t up (so ya gotta talk about stabilizing everything if you want to add ponies too, so don't forget that). Had a bro with an older - '96 - LT1 motored Firebird (convertible even), red with white racing stripes, sweet ride, def a p*ssymobile . He asked my opinion on what mods he should make on a 10k budget before he shipped the car to Europe to where he was relocating for his job. His plan was to tour eastern and central europe and rent it out to rich eurotrash and maybe sell it if he got the right offer. Anyway, I gave him my opinion, told him what mods he should do for his budget, he decided to speak to someone else, in turn didnt go to my mechanic whom I recommended highly, exceeded his budget on all top end sh1t with a *reputable* shop who just did motor work and SOAKED him for the amount of work they did but didn't weld his crank or cage his drive shaft, reinforce his top or his rear...SO, HE BLEW UP HIS CRANK ON THE AUTOBAN in turn seized up his drive shaft goin 140, twisted his rear and because it was a convertible twisted the f*cking frame and it ended up being a total loss...and a 30k paperweight. He couldnt even get it repaired because he didnt have any hard-core shops anywhere near him.
Sad, because it was a bad-ass firebird and if he would have listened to me, he'd still be motorin around Europe with a seriously collectible American muscle car...
Other mod would be MSD ignition and better sparkplugs
can I just add twin turbos ?
What's the definition of extreme horsepower?
From people that actually tune these cars, the actual HP gains for a CAI is maybe 5 HP. For a bigger throttle body, about 0 unless you have other mods to need a bigger throttle body. For a catback, again not much unless you have other mods to need more exhaust. Though it might be more significant if you have something like 2015 or earlier which had smaller exhaust than the current models. For headers, you need to separate it into shorty and long-tube. Generally shortys do very little. But long tubes with a tune is significant.
Thank u
Sweet video man. Super informative
Thanks bro!
Throttle body spacer is a useless piece of metal on fuel injected cars🤐🤫
Diesel is so much more powerful and 2 stroke convertible
So is a intake, it doesn’t do shit without a tune😂
@@coltonwatson4907 you truly amaze me
"You're gonna learn everything you need to know about mods that add horsepower to your car."
In eleven minutes? I seriously doubt it. But I subscribed anyway, because muscle cars are fucking awesome.
Your horsepower numbers sound good to me, one thing to keep in mind is the internals....rods, pistons, crank of a stock 345 and 392 can't handle a supercharger. Sooner or later something is going to break under repeated stress. Most if not all engine builders recommend replacing all bottom end internals before adding a supercharger. I do like built 345's it brings back the days of the 340's especially the sixpack.....BTW you keep your car nice and clean, nice post man!
Thanks bro 🙏 how much would replacing the internals cost?
That's a good question, shop for a reputable engine builder. If you supercharge your RT...stonger rods and pistons should work.
Okay thanks 🙏
Actually, I personally own the '17 392 ScatPack and I know a handful of scatpack owners that bolted on to their cars a 2.9 L 3rd gen whipple superchargers w/o going through the process of upgrading the internals, and from 485 hp they're only using 10 lbs of boost to create north of 650 hp. Though i must say if they where to upgrade the internals then you'd be able to have a challenger faster than the hellcat for practically half the price
Mo Shahin how long have your friends been running 10psi boost and what bolt ons did they use? I ask because I’ve been going back and forth with the idea of getting a bolt on for my Scat and have read about plenty of people who have had stock 392 internals fail when using 8 or greater psi and a bolt on.
With a cat back system and high flow muffler and air aid cold air intake on a 392 hemi you might gain 15 to 20 hp combined. N2O can be bad but if used correctly and not for out right drag racing does little harm to the motor. For the best gains i would install a CAI, larger throttle body , long tube headers high flow cats, swap out the intake manifold and get the ecu flashed. This will take a stock 2012 challenger 392 from advertised 470 hp with 470 ft/t to 540hp and 510 ft/t . Any hp gains in any car cost coin there is no cheap way around it if you want the car to last
With this HP gain can the car handle it? Should the swtich Diff be upgraded to handle that? Anything to worry about with the upgrades you suggested?
@@fredosantana8626 Yes it can with no problems. The only issue that did come up was wheel hop. That is a common issue with the cars but pretty easy to fix
I have a 2018 Dodge Challenger T/A 392 SRT, and I wanna add a Procharger. Can I just purchase a kit without upgrading anything else. After spending a lot on the supercharger, I'm not looking forward to upgrading the internals. Any insight from anyone will be appreciated!
Upgrading internals isn't a bad choice; (just to be on the safe side) if longevity is a concern.
I just would like to find a way to get it to hookup.
The big drawback with nitrous is not only can you blow up your engine easier you have to keep on filling up your nitrous bottle at least with forced induction it's a one time bank buster.
I have an old 4 cylinder s-10. i only need a few horsepower just to be able to pass a car. What would be be4st for that ? I do not need top speed. it is old and kind of ratty, so all i want is a small cheap fix to get some passing power is all. Any body have an idea? will take any ones suggestion, so feel free. Only passing power is all i need with this 4 cylinder.
What state r u in bro
CA
Forced induction is expensive bc is not just that simple , to bolt on a SPC nd call it a day! See a stock motor will def suffer nd most likely get hurt if u just gonna bolt on w/o engine upgrade !!!
I thought PCM's after 2015 were locked on the Challenger?
forgot the catch can
A tune works with other adders to be higher on the list. Without the headers and cold air it isn’t going to be much bigger in the gains. Same with the forced induction.
What about stroking or boring the engine?
Good point 👌
Stroking will increase the distance the piston moves up and down therefore increasing the amount of air being pulled into the engine. This will help tremendously with torque but horsepower increase would be negligible if any. Increasing the bore increases the diameter of the cylinder walls and also increases cubic inches but again does not help much to increase horsepower. Your engine is like an air pump. The better it breathes in and out the better performance you will get out of it. Boring is mostly done when rebuilding an older engine that has lost it's cylinders roundness to true up the cylinders. If you want more low end grunt out of an engine you can definitely do this with a stroker kit. Otherwise if the engine doesn't have many miles I would not bother boring the cylinders.
Very informative
🙏
Nice car
lol so whats your dodge pushing then big boy?
All of will only work if you have an unlocked pcm and then get it tuned
Cackle-ay-shuns!
Catback exhaust and headers are mainly for sound and increased airflow... You don't see much horsepower gains unless paired with a throttle body w/ spacer, CAI, and a tune. So, some of these would be lower on the list. NOS has an increased risk of damage to the engine, so this is the tradeoff for the highest price-to-horsepower ratio.
Don't use no friggen throttle body unless you're running some supercharger. And don't do no manifolds too. It aint worth it nor you'll get any serious power with it without boost
Okay, thanks for the advice
I have a challenger sxt. Trying to gain some hp without getting a supercharger. Is the throttle body a bad idea?
I love dodge...
Jeff... it won't add horsepower, but if you get some new gears in the diff, you'll be able to have better acceleration and take off the line better without spinning those wheels.
Off that subject, are these the mods to see on your car soon?!?!
necstanunn perhaps looking into it
Only idiots call it "nos"...
What gears are best for the challenger? I know a mustang the 4.10s or 3.73s are great
Not sure about Challengers but a catalytic converter for a Rubicon can cost up to a grand. Not sure how a "performance" one could just be a few hundred bucks.
Man just get yourself a Fart Can and some Stickers and you Gain 1,000 HP & 1,000 TQ Instantly! LOL
Great video but if you don't know that heads,cams and a tune don't get you the most naturally aspirated power you shouldn't be upgrading your ride..no brainier and if you think it's that easy to just "bolt on" a super or pro charger without forging Internals and or upgrading other things your in for a surprise
Awsome video as always! How have you been? I've been busy! Sorry will catch up on your channel! Have my car out for a couple of nice days here in Wisconsin 50's to 60's here and after a big rain storm to wash away the salt. I sure did miss driving her! 😎
This man laughing the whole time cuz of fast and furious logic and especially when he came up with the theory they called the police “corrupt” in fast 5 just so they can have an excuse to kill them and be called heroes got me dead 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can get a NOS for around 700 dollar .and that a wet system.
I feel very well informed.
As you should haha 😂 thanks bro glad it helped!
cam...best bang for the buck
