After attending CF3 and seeing some great cars and getting some great advice, I started calling vendors to price a build. I quickly found out how expensive things get. My wish list out grew my budget!

Arrington gave me some options to fit my budget and I went with the stock srt 6.4 swap. I was starting with a bone stock 2010 rt.

This is what I went with: Stock SRT 6.4 with 6.1 stage 1 ported intake, 90mm tb, 6.1 mid pipes, corsa catback, arrington CAI and DS handheld tuner.

I took my car over to them on May 25th and they started it after the holiday weekend. I got the word today that it's mostly finished with the exception of tuning, which should happen this Monday.

I'll post up post tune results when I get them.

Take Care

Nice build, I'm looking forward to seeing your final results.

[Goehner]

Pretty cool stuff, not sure I have seen anyone else do this, but I may have missed it.

Can't wait to see the final product, I am sure you will be grinning for a while.

[KeavDog]

What are you expecting to see? Love to know the price but I understand if you don't want to divulge.

[Williams RT]

Nice mod, should be around a 100 HP over stock I would think. be curious to see the results.

[ironchallenger]

congrats bud! itll be like a whole new car!

[Boatman]

Very nice! Sounds like what you did was a very nice combo and I would say you will end up around 500 RWHP.
It will be like a whole new car when you get it back.
Congrats.

[EODCM]

Thanks Mani..

Thanks rob, I don't think 500 hp is going to happen without some type of power adder...but that sure would surprise me if it did.

[Boatman]

I reread what you posted, stock as in a 2011-12 engine???

I don't think it will make quite that much... I'm thinking 450-460 at best on that dyno.

To the OP... your going to get tired of the one-wheel-peel real quick. I'd look into a Getrag diff/axle swap.

[EODCM]

yes stock 11-12 6.4

[Boatman]

Yea no where near 500 then. Still going to be a nice setup.

As soon as funds will support, thats the plan.

Right and probably a good price to boot.

Right and probably a good price to boot.

priced right at what arrington posted in a thread a few months ago.

[Rake]

That would be this thread, right? About $9k or so all told? Was that price after giving them your 5.7 (i.e. it would be much higher if you kept your old engine)?

* ETA - Thinking this over a little more, did they take an incomplete engine and transfer over parts from the 5.7? That would make a bit more sense, though it still raises the question of what happens to the price if you keep the remains of the 5.7.

[HemiSam]

That's cool. You're gonna have fun and you've got a great platform for wherever you decide to take it.

If you end up looking for a 3.92 Getrag and stock axles, lemme know. Just don't have the toner rings on them. I'll cut a good deal and no hurry. Been sitting in my garage a good while and a while longer won't hurt.

Thanks Sam,

When I'm ready, I'll check back with you to see if it's still available.

I'd hit a liquor store and get Sam's 3.92 differential asap. Your going to have trouble going anywhere with your current set up. I saw what the 3.92's did for me on my 6.1 if you put them in your car maybe with a converter my guess would be mid to high 11's all day long. It will also let you enjoy everything you just did a hell of a lot more.
