Default All motor/ SXT to R/t

I'm thinking about going all motor or just converting over to a R/T.

What is needed to convert from an SXT to an R/T?

-or-

what can I do to increase the output of the engine to surpass an R/T without putting it on spray or boosting it?

and how much do you think it will cost, roughly without install fees and such?

no im not doing anywhere near close to that haha. but anyway,

i wouldnt swap an r/t motor in there, because for the money it will cost you it will not be worth it. you should just work on your regular motor. if you are doing a swap, just put the srt motor in there

I never said SWAP I said convert... meaning taking parts equivalent to or better than that of the parts that differentiate the RT from the SXT and installing them...

I swear mine had more potential N/A, but i went to the dyno on 97 degree day with poop loads of humidity... oh well, you get what you get. Thats why i call the dyno the "Big Let Down". lol
