Chrysler’s red-hot crop of late model, Hemi-powered performance vehicles like the retro Dodge Challenger, the four-door Dodge Charger, and even the Ram pickups have been ripe for the picking from a performance standpoint since they were unveiled, and like their Ford and GM counterparts with the Mustang, the Camaro, and the Corvette, the Chrysler enthusiasts out there are always on the lookout for bolt-on’s capable of producing more power and torque.
Of course, one of the most beneficial ways to accomplish big power gains in one fell swoop is the addition of a supercharger.
The team at ProCharger developed fitments for their street supercharger systems on the new-age 392 Hemi in the 2011+ vehicles more than a year ago, but had delayed mass production until more reliable and cost effective solutions were available for engine calibration to properly utilize the supercharger. With handheld engine calibration tools now more readily available, ProCharger is preparing to launch their intercooled supercharger systems for 2011 and later Hemi vehicles, including the 5.7L R/T and 6.4L SRT8 Challengers and Chargers and the 5.7L Ram pickups, in January.
In earlier model Challenger, Charger, 300C, and Magnum models with the ProCharger P-1SC-1 superchargers with three-core intercoolers, horsepower gains have been made in the 130-160 range right out of the box, with more certainly on tap with tuning and other adjustments.
The ProCharger engineering team is currently finalizing their plans for the 2011+ Hemi supercharger systems, with the goal of releasing the systems to market within the next few weeks.
