If that is the case, what is stopping it from supercharging the 6.1 HEMI?
I was watching an episode of "Two Guys Garage" on cable TV. They took a 2005 Mustang GT and added a supercharger without much difficulty. The "bolt-on" was worth 100 hp! After that, they dyno-tuned the Stang and revised the settings on the ECU (i.e., fuel curve, timing, etc.). This dramatically improved the hp and torque curves. The changes were good for another 70 hp. Their Stang now had 500 hp and 490 ft. lbs. of torque.
DCX needs to look at this type of hp/torque modication or the new Challenger may be the one in the Stang's rear view mirror!!
The mustang has to put a supercharger on it (4.6L) to get that kind of hp and torque.....where as the hemi (6.1L) can get do it without the power adder....
