Default Spent the morning at GS Motorsports

I delivered my Magnum to GS Motorsports for the install of the supercharger this week. I drove over from Phoenix yesterday (averaged 21 mpg at a steady 80 - 85 on I-10) so I could be at GS Motorsports at 8:30 a.m. today. Scott informed me of the impressive dyno numbers with a stock Magnum with only the S/C at over 400 hp) mine already has the headers and borla exhaust installed, so I'm really stoked. While I was there I got to look at the Charger R/T there for the S/C. Scott pointed out there are some differences in the engine that are obvious, no plug wires all over as with our hemi's and the valve covers are plastic, a few photos are attached:

Did you notice a big difference when you installed the headers?? That may be my next step

Lucky you, I wish that I could afford the headers or the supercharger.

Good luck, let us know the results.

hmm, the spark plugs are different on the charger than the magnums and 300's, on the magnum and 300 there's 8 wires running across the intake manafold to the 2nd spark plug on the opposite side so that they fire during the exhaust stroke to burn up any extra fuel from what i've read, wonder if the charger just fires both at the same time like the 5.7 hemi crate motor does.

Does the Charger Hemi have MDS?
