There are plenty people who have done it on here. I have a 2017 Challenger rt and I'm planning on doing it as soon as the updated kits come out. Right now it only goes up to 2016 but you can get just the pcm for the 2017s though if you want. Id say if you want to keep your warranty the do it. I'm only going to do stage one because I can't do no higher due to California regulations smh.

 

I installed scat pack 1 and my 0-60 time dropped to low of 4.6 with an average of 4.7 from an average of 5-5.2, after scat pack 2 install my 0 -60 time is still at 4.7 but with a lot more tire spin from start well into 3rd and still get the same time .so it must be faster, now I just need to solve the traction issue to see how much .I still haven't taken it to the track maybe after I install a limited slip differential and some wider tires. hope this helps ya

 

Thanks... I will probably do scat pack 2 once it's available for my 2017.

 

I did one and two but changed my mind when the heads were 5K and the Supercharger was 12K and I still got a 3/36 powertrain warranty from Petty.

 

Idk man those scat pack kits are so damn expensive i think with all 3 packs togehter you’re spending close to $10k....which is about the difference in msrp to buying a scat pack from the get go

 

Yeah, I agree they are way over priced.. makes you really consider aftermarket parts. I thought about selling my car and buying a scat pack but I heard the insurance would be a lot more on a 6.4 than on a 5.7 challenger. Also I really like my car, they only made 42 2017 T/A plus in granite and only 5 optioned like mine. That's one reason I'm thinking about doing the 5.7 scat pack options it would keep it all mopar.

 

OP ill suggest what im gonna do....
Small bolt ons now
Big blower when its paid off haha

 

Stage 1 or 2 make sense. Stage 3 is kind of overpriced IMO. Like others have said, from a power standpoint, you're better off just jumping up to the next platform with the 6.4L.

These cars wake up nicely with a tune and light bolt ons though, which is essentially what stage 1 and 2 do. I think if you want to go beyond that the 392 is the better option.

I agree with this. I wouldn't spend all that money on a 5.7 and still come up short to the 6.4. You're better off with the 6.4/392 from the start.

 

but if the hp(450 ish ) with the scat pack kits is damn near what the 392 has to the rear wheel and its lighter in base rt, slightly in rt plus and insurance is cheaper and the 5.7 is a better motor for supercharging and its 10 + grand less, why not a 5.7 ? I never even considered a 392

 

I'm you with man. I have the same line of thinking, and only 27 other T/A Plus made in TorRed, maybe mine will be the fastest!

 

I agree with stage III as not a good option and the exact reason why I chose a different path. That being said for a platform to modify the 5.7 truck engine (that is what we have) is a great platform to add mods to if you really want something different. Back in the day it was the truck engine 409 and 413 that made the power.

 

I'm comfortable with the 5.7 maybe go stage 1 when it comes out for 2017s depending on what comes with it. If I wanted to race I'll still stick with the 5.7s. I've seen these things get up to 800hp here at the tracks.

 

Too bad some dealer won't install the kit and sell it that way similar to what a mustang dealership does here in Ohio with a supercharged installed for an extra 8k. 700hp for 40k on a base gt.

 

Just updating you guys. Scat Pack stage 2 and 3 is available for 2017s. Stage 1 is still in developement. I was going to just buy stage 2 today but my dealership was going throw my warranty out the window smh. Dude i dont know now. Im pissed.

 

What! Do you know what all stage 2 consisted of?

 

camshaft, valve springs, tie bar kit, heavy-duty pushrods, and an upper and lower gasket set.

also cam phaser, and extra seals and other stuff, mine was a seal kit for the whole engine, but you don't get the stage 2 pcm that's a extra $725 from arrow racing,vin coded to your car

 

Could you still use as daily?

 

one fast ,fun daily drivertook it to muclepalooza at the vally drag strip yesterday ,a 75mile one way trip and got 24mpg (most of the way, gotta scare the wife sometimes ya know)so yup no problem

 

but are you in cali? don't think it will pass cali inspection emmissions ,you might want to check

 

I was reading that some guys have put the 392 cam in their 5.7's, it's an inexpensive upgrade with a nice performance upgrade especially if it's for an auto.

 

Was all in on going to 2&3 when in the lower 48. After arriving in Alaska, my confidence in my local Dodge dealers is 20%. I am now going with header and mid pipe upgrades along with improved fuel injectors and rails.

 

You are right, your insurance goes up, monthly car payment goes up. I think the stage packages are worth it, you save money in the long run

i agree with you as well because they made these kits to withstand up 480 without any issues down the line. A guy i work with went to stage 3 on his 2016 charger RT and he uses it as his daily lol. Has been driving it for 2yrs now hasnt had any issues.
