Hello HC famalia! I have a 2015 HC challenger with 24k miles. Owned for 6 years and it has sat in the garage for the most part… only 4k miles a year driven .. Car has been babied but unfortunately it threw a rod so have to rebuild. I have reached out to Dodge as it’s out of warranty but perhaps they may help in some way!
I am looking for ideas as I have an engine builder that has started the tear down. from what I have read we are better of$$$ wise to rebuild versus buying new. Most the race shops I spoke to recommend just buying a new engine but it seems ti me you can build it better for less.. thoughts??? Not looking to go too aggressive but considering the following:
- Cam (looking for that rumble).. what is the best one?
- Smaller pulley: again thoughts on best one?
-Possibly headers but what I have read these have minimum HP gains but open to ideas.
- tune… best place to send ecu?
- would prefer to not have to change injectors or upgrade fuel system. What HP gains can be had from the above? Looking for safe power!!
- upgrading the manual clutch… curious on thoughts considering mods listed above.
thanks in advance for your feedback
