Well maybe not so much 5.7 but not a bad idea weather 5.7 or 6.4. First MDS delete, phaser lockout kit with a multi-keyway crank sprocket, also I personally would upgrade the heads to edlebrocks new new gen 3 hemi heads and also upgrade entire valve train but I'm a hemi engine junkie so don't mind me. If you want to see some of this in action I suggest taking a look at Powernations 6.4l gen 3 hemi build with a Holley HI-Ram intake manifold. Arrington hooked them up with some pretty good hardware for that build bro go watch it and let me.know what you think about the numbers they ended up with. I.thought it was very impressive.

Here is the build video i mentioned in my previous comment brother. They explain everything I mentioned in that last comment better than I ever could. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hr-jhtabqtC3YJs.html

@@americanassassin001 Thanks for the extra info

For that price I’d go whipple.

How reliable is it I would like to build the 5.7 in my single cab but I don’t wanna deal with headaches

Any mopar in general gets a bad wrap tbh keyboard warriors go nuts and talk smack all because one lost a race in a video.

The ceiling is super high with these 5.7L hemi's - you can go as fast as your wallet allows you. Which is great because not everyone in their trim can say that. The aftermarket option for the hemi is massive

I agree with everything except the “not a lot of cash” it’s super expensive don’t be fooled lol

@@chearchie4472 for real lol. Supporting mods and labor all adds up

@@chearchie4472 Your right, I should have said less cash. All of these speed modifications are pricey. 💰💰💰💰💰

You can easily hit that mark with safe tuning

@@RTLife that’s my hope! My big hold back is spend a lot of time in the summer towing our 5k lb trailer through the bc mountains with it. Does great, but obviously more stress and a lot of heat. Gotta find that balance

I was looking to get in the same range with my Durango. Wold it be any different components since it's AWD?

That's nowhere near a lofty goal. Easy and super cheap.

Fairly reliable haha

Thank you def appreciate the support!

Thank you very much. Hopefully it gives some 5.7L guys ideas on upgrades

I don't blame you. The 5.7L once you start modding sounds great & picks up a lot of HP/Torque

Hopefully it gives some people ideas on what they'd like to do with their rides

Hopefully it helps down the road when you're looking for upgrades! Those AWD 5.7L are a blast to drive

@@RTLife heyy, I was going to get bbk ceramic long tube headers, would you recommend them instead of the srt shorties?

I haven't personally done the research on the Durango's, but I know the Ram's have different gearing in the transmissions & differentials. Due to this, the 2500 Power Wagon with the 6.4L only has 410 hrsprs from the factory. This is the same engine that makes 475 hrsprs in the Scat Packs. That being said, the best thing to "wake up" a 5.7L is a cam upgrade. There are other prerequisite mods that need to be done at some point before getting the cam installed.

I def want to see that beast when you're done. That sounds like an awesome build you want to do. 500whp is plenty to have fun with - that's the range I would like for my 392. 450-500whp range. It's a blast on the streets

My 376 on 15pounds and flex fuel gets 1200 but that’s an LS. Super easy and economical. If I put on bigger turbos and fuel pumps,I can get to 1600 before I lift a head. What would it take for y’all to get to 1600 with a stock block and head?

You're going to love it. The 5.7L is a blast to own.

You better get one soon…

you could do it

Get a McLeod RXT clutch, & you'll be golden. Going with an aluminum flywheel will also "free up" power by reducing the rotational mass. The stock 5.7L driveshaft is also a weak point that many over look. A 1-piece driveshaft is a good way to beef it up, as well as reduce weight & rotational mass. Either aluminum or CF is good for 1200 hrsprs. Prices vary depending on where you order from. The axles are another weak point on the 5.7L that's forgotten about, as I just blew one out 2 weeks ago. Upgrading to SRT axles is probably the cheapest option for this at around $1300 for the pair.

@@DJGRoc Yes I was looking at the RXT as the clutch material on that compared to RST would be able to handle more heat. I'll probably be upgrading both clutch and driveshaft at the same time; just seems to be the efficient thing to do. I haven't really looked into axles as much as I should have. How much power would you say the SRT axles would be able to hold up? Haven't done much digging into those. Any fitment issues?

@@MetalGearHead I current have the RST in my Chally. Went with it at the time as it was cheaper, & I was still more or less stock power. Not a bad clutch for daily stop & go driving. If I remember correctly, it is good for 600 hrsprs. Main diff between the RST & RXT is the disc material. Both are dual disc, but the RST used an organic material vs ceramic in the RXT. Basically same stuff as brake pads. The RXT is good for 800-1000 hrsprs if memory serves. Then you have the RXT 1200 which is obviously good for 1200+. I think it also becomes a triple disc clutch. The RST is really a street clutch, while the RXT is more of a race clutch. Since you have to remove, or at least disconnect, the driveshaft in order to drop the trans; replacing it at the same time as the clutch is not a bad idea. Just be sure to use blue thread lock on the driveshaft bolts. As for the axles, the SRT ones are the same as what comes on the Hellcat, so they can handle que a bit of torque. It's the torque that gets them. That's how mine blew, under a hard acceleration. This is the setup that I currently have on the car: Barton short throw shifter, Jet Performance skip shift, McLeod RST clutch, DSS CF driveshaft, BMR did lockout. Been great until 2 weeks ago. Car is '15 R/T w/ ~97k on the clock. I have a new RXT clutch to swap as the RST is getting low. I also have the complete set of control arms from AAD Performance, as well as their billet end links. Additionally have the following on hand to install: Bilstein B6 shocks & struts, rear shock tower brace, Eibach Drag Launch springs, BMR cradle lockout, Holley Proforged inner & outer tie rods, & Super Pro bushings every where I can. Been waiting almost a year now for new away bars from Hotchkis.

That guy def knows his stuff - big drag racer with a ton of knowledge.

There’s no such thing as an NA Hellcat, saying “boosted hellcat” is like saying “boosted ecoboost mustang”

@@ShagmireGigity Stock Boost like Stock Boost Mustang 👍

Def understand your points about upgrading for more HP. I don't really want to do this again with another car but I had a blast building my Charger. It would've been cool to link up down here in FL & check out your Hellcat. One day

@@RTLife Absolutely! Still have family in the Bradenton area. Maybe next time you guys decide to put on an event there. Would be great fun

Hopefully it gives some people some ideas for modding.

hopefully this gives some people ideas for their ride

find an old cop charger they got the 5.7 with AWD

What's different between a regular 5.7 and one out of an awd car?

The 2wd kits won't work right out of the box. There are some one off 4wd hemi swaps for dakotas. You also need a 4wd dakota hemi swap oil pan.

5.9 magnums can make good power. Yeah it takes some wrenching tho.

Those headers are great but honestly I would just get long tubes they will pay off

Yup! Def an awesome trim to get your hands on. They don't kill your bank account & they're easy to upgrade. So many plug/play upgrades.

for that much in a 5.0 and you basically got a 1,200hp dragster engine the 5.7 must not really be that good of a platform and the 6.4 and 6.2 is even worst

​@SamaDaGoat o shut up go watch some mustang videos you goofy ass foo

@@samadagoat7769 6.2 is worse? full bolt on e85 on a hellcat gets you 900hp lmfao for like 5-8 grand

@@samadagoat7769 N

Forsure fbo and cam get you just at 400wheel

You can probably go to local performance shops & buy those manifolds - many hellcat/392 guys upgrade to long tubes.

Check on the forums.

You'll get there no problem with a 392. I'd like to be around 450-500whp with my 392 at some point. That's a fun HP/Torque level to be around for the streets

@@RTLife I will follow your 392 build... 500 whp is enough for the street

​@@Muchacho77 Intake, exhaust, & cam is all you really need for that.

@@RTLife so if u build a r/t it won’t be reliable ?

What exact setup did you go with? I have a 2016 grand cherokee summit 5.7l and I'm trying to figure out what exhaust setup to go with.

Nice. If you get time could you post your build?

Comp cams Stage 2 HRT MDS Delete Mopar performance springs Hardened pushrods Srt intake Mmx srv controller K&N Typhoon intake UD pulley think 8.5% Catch can ARH long tubes into a 3 ID exhaust designed by Heartthrob exhaust and built by summit. Slotted/drilled rotors 3200 stall converter with additional trans cooler tied into oem line. Killer glass radiator hose MSD coilpacks and bbk Throttlebody I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff as I've got alot of stuff still need to install in storage 🙃

At some point you'll get that itch! In the mean time that 5.7L is plenty for what you enjoy doing - back road fun

You’re more likely to lose torque with a cam upgrade

​@@DanielJohnson-ec8rk not if u get proper tune

@@christianguerrero1305 you sacrifice somewhere to make gains elsewhere. There is ALWAYS a tradeoff

​@@christianguerrero1305any good cam will give nice top end gains but you will lose on the bottom.

FCA (at the time) didn't lock down the PCM's until the 2015 model year on the Chargers & Challengers. They then locked the ODB2 pretty under the dash starting in 2018 model year. Which AFE intake do you have? The Momentum GT, or something else?

@@DJGRoc I got the AFE track series Carbon fiber CAI

Yeah but if shit ever goes down it’s an insurance nightmare

@@Bill-bi7sk We all know insurance companies are super quick to take your money, & even quicker to cancel your ish if you're 30 secs late; but they're super slow to pay out when needed.

Still not a hellcat it just a mod 5.7 why putting all that money on a 5.7 ? Not worth it

After all thes upgrades, you would be competing really with Hellcats

@@RTLife What mods would I do just to get Scat power? I don't want to have too much power lol Thanks for the reply.

Optimizing airflow is the ideal with any engine it isn't 5.7 hemi specific lol

@@midnight347 uhh, not what I meant. Optimizing the 5.7 engine is a good approach to take. Because dodge leaves a lot on the table.

I would be best to pay a shop to do it instead to avoid any headaches that may rise along since you're a novice unless you don't mind the headaches and can sacrifice having your car out of commission for a while.

Don't see why not. Pretty much all of this can move over to the 2016 Pursuit

I’m planning on modding my 2016 pursuit as well 550-600hp with the awd would be a dope sleeper💯

I think the trans & driveshafts will be your limiting factors on the AWD model. I'll bet the forums have some interesting threads on the matter.

That's the nice part about the 5.7L - it's a blank canvas & you can choose a ton of ways to upgrade it

@@RTLife that’s a great way to put it. Mopar or no car

800 dollar tune

Kooks or texas speed would be the way to go

Yes

@@ShagmireGigity 👍🏾

Was wondering this too, seen a supercharged 5.7 before, but it was a lot more work than a kit, fuel pump, and injectors to make sure you could get on it. Also would probably run low psi from 6-12 range to keep it “reliable”
