Supercharger info

[abranchizio]

I want to add a supercharger to my 5.7 non E-torque 2020 1500 with 29000 miles totally stock. What is the best bang for the buck? I am not looking to race or shave tenths off the clock, just want to tear pavement when I put my foot down. It seems like this is a $10,000 endeavor. i have about 5k budgeted for this upgrade. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Look in to Torqstorm. That's probably the only kit in your price range. With tuning you will probably blow your budget though. Most other kits are $6500+ unless you can find a used system.

You're not going to buy any new set ups with tuning in the 5k range.

Best to keep an eye out on the forums and ebay for a used one.

I don’t really advocate going into debt, and this assumes you are in the US and have good credit.

You could charge it all on a credit card (preferrably a rewards card), use your $5k to pay part of it, then transfer the remaining balance onto a card that’s 0% for balance transfers. You’ll probably pay 3% for the transfer fee. This way is a cheap loan.

Either way, you’re not going to have a new supercharger kit and tuning for $5k, even if you install it yourself.

Procharger sells a kit and they're pretty much bolt on 100+ hp. Always good results on the chargers/300s/jeeps/etc. Unless I go crazy and go whipple, the procharger setup is probably what I'll go with. I've never thought about turbo, but that's always an option too.

$5k is an unrealistic budget for this unless you are capable of fabricating your own intake, charge pipe, fittings, and oil/water lines....and doing all the installs/fitment. Even then we still haven't even gotten to tuning.

$7700 bucks for the kit, not including the unlocked PCM and tuning: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/PCH-1DP314-SCI/applications
