2020:
Base: $58,995
Dest: $1495
T: $60,490
PD: -$7170
Net: $53,320

From what I understand, many guys received dealer discounts and paid way less.
Me included but Power Dollars (which had a different name in 2020) were not available until the very end of the year.

July? And that's the only name I ever knew or heard.

I bought my 2019 HC in Feb of 2020 brand new and it had PD. If I remember correctly I think they ran them for at least 4 or 5 months straight.

Before I bought my 'Cat I did a fair amount of digging into adding a SC to a 392 car. I really wanted that shaker hood ;)
Pretty much every road lead to upgrading the internals if you really wanted to make it 'safe & reliable' and even then you needed to be conservative with the tune/boost. Procharger seemed to be the preferred build (actually the only choice if you wanted to keep the shaker hood).

So, can it be done - yes, but it will not be a cheap project and you will need to be conservative with the boost/tune.
Procharger and Vortech let’s you keep the shaker, but the Vortech is relatively new.

You'd be miles ahead to trade for a Hellcat. This is coming from someone that built/supercharged a Challenger before Hellcat were available and traded that car in on a Hellcat.

I got Power Dollars on my 2020 HC in May of 2020. Mine had an MSRP of $77k, but I ordered it decked out to the max and financed something like 68k after vet/first responder discount.

one thing I never like about tuning boosted scat packs is no wide band. I make the customer purchase one but it is just for logging purposes the pcm will not read it. I have heard a lot of tuners aren’t remote tuning boosted scars anymore. I still am but my final tune is usually fairly conservative and tuned a smidge on the rich side at wot.

The Vortech system comes with a Mopar 3 bar map sensor, so would the PCM read this one given the system was designed to include it?

That's to allow rescaling of the map/aircharge tables to account for the increased airflow so yes the PCM can use it.

It just has to be tuned for the sensor

Looks like I'm going with the 7 PSI ProCharger system with the P1X unit. Should be around 215 at the crank from what I have seen.

Just a sleeper 392 coming ....

Will you do the install and what are your plans for tuning ? the supplied tunes from any aftermarket SC company usually suck.

ProCharger in Kansas City is doing it. They are taking care of everything, including the Tune.

I dunno, seems more likely the 10 rib belt broke and the 6 rib was used to drive it home. can't see a 6 rib holding well enough for the boost needed to trap 150
