RE: Mopar, Speedfactory combine to beef up the 2009 Challenger.
Stage 3 Supercharged
The Stage 3 Supercharged kit is unlike any of the other Mopar/Speedfactory kits for the 2009 Dodge Challenger, as it is almost like a full custom build. This package begins with a one on one consultation with a Speedfactory representative, and the output of this package is completely dependant on the decisions of the owner. There is no stated horsepower for this package, but keep in mind that this is an upgrade OVER the 630 horsepower Stage 2 Supercharger kit! During the consultation, there are a variety of choices to be made, which include the following:
-Full Motor Rebuild
-High Performance Internal Components including a billet crankshaft and connecting rods
-Lower Compression Pistons
-Vortech Centrifugal Style Supercharger
-Boost levels selected by the owner
-“Big Block Conversaion”, which includes having the motor bored and stroked to either 426 or 440 cubic inches
-Custom Tune to optimize performance
-Unique 20” Forged Wheels
-Speedfactory interior and exterior upgrades
-Results: Due to the wide variety of options for this package, there is no stated power (or price), but we can expect the output to creep up around the 700 horsepower mark, making your Dodge Challenger one of the strongest cars on the road.
Factory forced induction has been an item very popular in the foreign performance market for quite some time, and the first real competitor in the US market that came with forced induction was the 2003 Ford Mustang Corba, dubbed the terminator. That model was followed by another Ford entry with their factory supercharged GT500 in 2007, and then Chevrolet entered the fun with the new Corvette ZR1, which features a unique top-mounted supercharger. Based on the success and performance levels of this street machines, Dodge was unlikely not to get in on the fun, and while rumors still fly about a trimline that will come with a supercharger, Mopar and Speedfactory are making sure that when the 2009 Challenger does hit the streets, it will have options to allow it to keep up, and even beat, some of the fastest cars in the US.
