There have been a couple of succesful swaps of gears on 5.7 Chargers.

They have been from 2.82 to 3.06. The Predator evidently can handle that one. I think the housing is different an I know the yoke & some other pricey pieces are involved.

To the best of my knowlege, no one is yet making a gear set yet.

There have been a couple of unsucessful attempts to use the 3.94 gearset out of a 6 cylinder Magnum. The predator evidently cannot handle that one.

Are you buying a 5.7 or 6.1? Manual or Auto.

I think the most economical setup to get deeper gears would be the 5.7-6 speed with the 20's. (3.91) and then put 18" wheels on it.

Personally, I don't believe that deeper gears will really help unless you are at the track with slicks. These cars have only about 45% of the weight over the rear.Traction and trying to get the cars to hook up will be the hard part. I know it was with my Charger.

Short answer, Yes it can be done. However, It probably is not worth doing.
