Yup, most of that comming from the SuperChip.


I don't have heard of some pretty impressive gains using the corsa exhasut setup. I think someone was telling me on a dyno it showed an increase of 8HP.

MangoInTX's photo gallery 		That's cool, I really didn't notice anything but tone difference on my corsa install by itself.

The CAI and exhaust will complement and come into play with the big HP adders => headers/cam/heads.

In my opinion it depends on what you long term plans are.  If you want to go to the track and lay down some low 13s or high 12s then yes eventually upgrade that exhaust.  Right off the bat a CAI and exhaust are not big power adders.


What would you have to do to a Charger to make it hit the high 12's?

MangoInTX's photo gallery 		There's different ways to get there and all involve a CAI, Catback & tune of some kind; plus one of the following:

heads/cam/headers
N20
Stroker

Thanks for the help Mango!

Ok, got the CAI and have already bought the headers(not installed yet.... but hopefully soon) and superchips(or are you talking about some other type of tune?)  Should I have the high flow cats as well?

Would the cam be the MDS friendly cam or no?  What heads should I be looking at?

What exactly is a Stroker?

Thanks!

MangoInTX's photo gallery 		Yes, high flow cats (<= some headers come with those), the tune all depend on the mods, a stroker would need a custom tune. The cam could be mds friendly. Heads ported and milled. There are so many choices of heads and cams it's hard to say which one to go with.

Some have made it to 12s with headers/mopar heads/6.1 intake. Again there are so many ways to pump up the HP, there isn't one fast hard way to say here is how you get there.

A stroker give the piston a longer throw via longer rods and can boored over so there's more compression and cubes.

MangoInTX's photo gallery 		I doubt there's a tune or chip that will produce that type HP by itself.

Friend of mine run's consistent 12.8's with this setup. 75 shot of nitrous, superchip, and intake, and sticky 255's at the rear. He is hoping to run a 12.6 with slicks and the addition of headers, and a full exhaust setup.

Unless you own a deisel no chip will give you 100HP.
