So, I bought our SRT a couple years ago, after watching and reading about them for years. I really enjoy the power, but I want a little more because ours is bone stock, but it has the Eibach lowering kit. I've read a lot about putting a Procharger on and running low boost and getting 600hp range. I would like to do this or run a supercharger. We do not drive this car much, as a matter of fact we've only put 5000 miles on it in 2 years. Anyone had success with running a Procharger or supercharger, without rebuilding the lower end. Also, if there are any Indiana people on here that can point me to a good shop that installs and dyno's cars I'd love to know.

heard great things about whipple superchargers on SRTs...

These engines do not like boost... If you are looking for more... I would buy a trackhawk... you will save more money in the end...

thanks for the response, I appreciate it.

Thanks, that actually was our other option. We were discussing dropping in a forged short block, so we can run more boost with the supercharger, and new transmission to handle the HP. or, just cut bait and buy the Trackhawk and start over, lol....

Only my opinion, but I think it would be easier and less headache buying a Trackhawk.

one of my first cars was on ‘02 Yukon. I wanted it to be faster so I installed a ProCharger kit. Lots more HP, but I soon blew the #7 piston due to a bad tune. Once the motor was rebuilt and the tune squared away on a dyno, I ended up grenading the 4L60 transmission. The transmission was replaced with a bulletproofed 4L65. Once that was squared away, the rear end blew!

At that point, I realized it was much easier and less expensive to buy an SUV that came fast from the factory. Enter the GCSRT! Also, living in California, smog was always an issue.

Lol, I’m glad we don’t have to deal with the smog here in Indianapolis, We would be in big trouble with my jet boat. But yeah, it’s looking like a Trackhawk in our future

I hear a lot of people saying that it’s too much of a headache, and to just get the trackhawk.. but there are a lot of success stories as well. Depends on what you’re looking to do. My tuner put 10,000 trouble free miles on a whippled 2014 with stock internals. 7lbs of boost. He has since forged the pistons and added a trackhawk cam among other things, and is pushing a bit more boost, making 800 to the wheels. It’s all in the tune, and good to keep boost under 8lbs on stock internals.
