    A different car isn't an option. Going to supercharge this one which will get me 428whp. More than the standard V8. :)

    Yeah the beauty of the sc is that you get pretty good gas mileage as long as you're driving normally but give the pedal a mash and have that go when you need it...ive been trying to talk my gf in mto buying a v6 challenger and doing the same to it because she loves the get up of my scat pack but drives way too many miles to afford feeding the scat

    Is this your final answer??:)
    BTW- I’d go for power advancements over exterior/ interior mods.

    I assume you your Challenger to car shows. Have you modded the engine bay?

    Also, don't do anything else to the exterior. Remember "more is less."

    Lot of car shows, including one today. Exterior is done except for some under car lighting and wider quad tips. Mine look a little small for the space. I will then do as much engine bay stuff as I can.

    Yeah, sometimes I think I already did too much. Doing some new tires, brake pads and rotors, and some better quality rear shock absorbers. New stereo, some under car lighting and then dressing up the engine bay.

    Since you're not racing, what about just adding a NOS kit? Extra power when you want it, less expensive.

    I don't know anything about them. I just want to be able to get in the car and drive it, not have to adjust stuff, etc.

    I personally don't recommend NOS for a daily driver for a lot of reasons two of which are most states its illegal for street use and there's not many situations where NOS would be useful on the street. If you add to that the fact its volatile and requires maintenance and periodic checks as well as a learning curve that could be disastrous its not a good fit for his application. If he was drag racing and wanted that kick or even track racing I could see it being viable. Supercharger would be his best bet for a power adder as there's little to no lag and its there when you need it not when you don't. Yes theres a little extra maintenance involved but imo its worth the tradeoff. If I owned a v6 and wanted more output that would 100 percent be my go to.
