So, let's put this together for everyone out there:
5.7L Hemi V8 is CARB compliant
392's and hellcats are not CARB compliant
a 5.7L Hemi V8 with this new factory backed Whipple pkg makes 650hp bolt on and is emissions compliant
it's confirmed a Hemi V8 will fit in the new Charger
Charger R/T =420hp Hurricane-6 Standard Output
Charger Scat Pack = 550hp Hurricane-6 High Output
Charger Daytona = 650hp (or maybe a little more) CARB COMPLIANT 5.7L Supercharged V8 w/ AWD and improved 8-speed transmission
If this kit is available for the Durango GT with the Stow and go it under cuts the Hellcat Durango by alot with nearly the same power, making the Durango R/T-392 absolutely pointless.
This setup also makes sense for a Ram 1500 R/T, Rebel G/T or Warlock G/T package pickup.
While it may not make Demon 170 hp number, this is still a potent package for anything that this powertrain goes in. It also gives hope that Dodge will bring back the 5.7L Stage Kits. Apache heads, Cam, CAI, tune, Supercharger, full exhaust kit, etc. Not only for the previous gen cars but if they put the 5.7L Hemi in the new Charger with the Supercharger pkg, it should be a no-brainer that there are Emissions compliant stage kits for that as well.
There is a flip side to this though. This is all great for the high performance end and for new Halo upper echelon vehicles. There still haven't been talks of Affordable "GT" level models for the Charger. It's great that performance lives on but if no one can afford these cars, they're going to be gone soon anyway.
