Little 5.7.
I'm dying to see if Mopar is going to have a Shaker option on the 2020 Charger as rumored.
Peter, do you have a catch can on your Challenger?

Still a lot of power and fun!
I can still get into enough trouble with it.
Only my second try
0-60 ... 5.4
1/8mile ... 8.9@80
1/4mile ... 14.2 @100
Skinny 245 @36psi on average asphalt
No I don't.
My first trip to the track on Pirelli 275's.
I made 4 passes.
Didn't use the line lock or launch mode. Drove around the water box.
Best time was 11.82 @ 120 mph.
With slicks I could get a lot better 60 foot times and maybe get in the 11.20's.
There were a couple of Scat Packs running with slicks running in the low 11's. There was another Scat Pack Charger with slicks, a cam, performance injectors and an aftermarket throttle body, long tube headers, Diablo PCM and a Hemifever tune and a 3.70 axle that was running in the low 10's.

I would recommend getting one. Check out the video's on YouTube about what happens if you don't have one.
I have one on my Magnum and the crap it collects is amazing...
I just finished putting mine on.

I have the Billet Technology engine dress up kit too. All the fluid caps and the engine oil dipstick will be the same Matte Red.
Phase 1 of the engine dress up kit.
Everything in red.
Everything in red.
I prefer the stock look. In 9 plus years of ownership my RT only received the Mopar performance exhaust and the hydraulic hood struts when new. Nothing else for her at all. I did toy with the supercharger idea but I didnt want to lose life from the engine.
The plastic factory pieces look so dang cheap. The windshield washer tank cap is already popping loose. Every time I open the hood the cap is off. I drove the car 3 times yesterday and every time I opened the hood the Billet Technology cap was still secured on the tank. Also, I don't like the look of the yellow caps and dipstick. I like the matte red color and the look of the billet aluminum.
Absolutely, I have one on my Ram and I dump about 2 or 3 ounces of blow by oil every oil change. I would definitely put a catch can on every metric engine.
One thing I noticed with my Scat Pack was how dirty the engine compartment is after only having it for 2 months. There is more dirt and dust under the hood then my 18 Ram has after 1.5 years. The only thing I can think of is the functional hood scoop is and both grill air inlets and the bottom of the engine compartment brings in a lot of air for cooling and brings in a lot of dust and dirt. Oh well, a can or 2 of Engine Gunk and a trip to self car wash with a wand with fix it right up.
The FN HOA would probably call the EPA police if I cleaned it up in front of my house! LOL!
