Ok, I'm new to the Hemi world and am looking for relatively easy and inexpensive performance upgrades? What would be the best bang for my bucks? Already love what its got, but always open for more. Any info is helpful. Thanks.

Well you are in luck. Due to the 2011+ Challengers being locked down and non tunable, all you can really do are "easy" mods.

For now you options are basically a cold air intake and/or exhaust. Nothing else is really worth it without a tune.

^^What he said, about the only other item would be the Paramount vavle body for the trans. They are about $600 plus install..$200-300. Then it will shift much firmer and this does not require any computor changes so it is perfect for 2011+ automatics.

You are right, these options aren't worth it.
If our cars were able to get a S/C, it would be great and a big difference.
I will keep mine stock and enjoy my 470HP.

exhaust, cai, are your only options for now, I think headers as well, but depends on which kind, the srt8 header upgrade is an option

Wouldn't this void the powerdrive warranty???

using the shorties or the 6.1 srt8 headers shouldnt move or modifiy the CAT. It shouldnt void anything.

Any easy mods for the 6.1? I have the Mopar CAI and Corsa catback. From my dyno pulls I'm putting down about twenty ponies over stock.

I swear, I am not stalking you :icon_lol:! For the 6.1, the only really easy stuff you have left is the throttle body, driver mod (working on this one now lol), and different tires. Anything else and your looking at more time/cost.

As far as the TB goes, many people suggest having fastman mod your existing TB, or buying one that is 85 MM or above.

Of course, getting a custom tune over the canned tune will help quite a bit also.

Hope that gives you some direction.

So far all the recommendation are related to horsepower. An easy mod that really firms up turning is a strut tower brace. I did the front and rear is also available. The front strut bar seemed to really improve the turning by getting rid of a lot of the lean when turning. If you want it tighter, get upgraded sway bar, end-links for sway bar or both. Then there are tons of cosmetic mods. Check out Billet Tech or any of the numerous others. An easy mod to save your fenders is the stealth splash guards by RPI. I out those on and most people never even see them. Keep perusing the forums and you'll see lots of mods available. Have fun!

You could spray it. A wet kit of 75 shot would be fine and keep enough fuel dumping to support itself.
