Re: Charger SRT8 engine mods = Challenger SRT8 engine mods
So far the LX chassis has been able to handle 500-550whp without much issue. But I think this is due to a couple limiting factors. We havent had a transbrake option, and we are limited on what drag radial can be easily run. -- Therefore when these cars have lanuched, it has been rather gentle vs a hard 4000+rpm slam of a transbrake or manual transmission.

Sure we have a car here that consistantly pulls 1.5s 60ft time. But once people get a better hooking tire, and a transbrake/or manual transmission - then we will really see what parts break. The driveshafts are tiny, I cant believe they have held up so long. So far we have not had even one broken driveshaft though. Axles are a proven weak link, we recommend they be replaced with anyone running over 430whp and drag radials.
