My list of ways to overcome the strangle Dodge put on the Charger:

Cut out the resonator. Do it first.. do it fast.. you won't regret it.
Install the Cold Air Intake of your choice.. I went with the K&N series 63

You do this and your unit will run a great deal better than out of the dodge stall.. total cost 300 bucks. This will make most folks happy with the way the charger runs.

For those that want to get over 400 horse you'll need to open the throttle body.. replace the cat-back.. then buy the chip or the tuner.. I'm told that the tuner is far superior to the Stage 2 chip.. then install your underpullies..

I'm headed for my stage 3 mods.. Competition cam.. Open the exhaust side of the head.. roller rockers.. and a 125 shot through the throttle body.. We'll see how a beast behaves when this is done.

Good luck.

 

Yes the trany has some issues. ESP is ok for day to day driving but wish there was a way to bypass it. Someone needs to come out with come killer body kits. One thing I have no problem with is the steering. Thing handles really well. I was out the other day and was almost apart of a four car pile up. Nilla stuck to the road and I zipped right through the jackasses. Man I hate snowbirds.
