'07 Dodge Charger R/T
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the 345HP 5.7L combination for a 2007 Dodge Charger R/T. I have not seen any of these, but was interested in knowing if this would be a competitive combination. |

If you already have the car, go for it. Yes, it is heavy (over 4000 lbs), but the Gen III hemi is very capable. The sneaky-poot combination is the '09 Challenger with the 354-300hp.

Re: '07 Dodge Charger R/T
The 09 challenger you mention would it have to be a DP or would one be able to get a street challenger lite enough.Could you put a solid axle in it . There will soon be enough 09,s etc . around to give cheaper body.

Re: '07 Dodge Charger R/T
I don't know squat about these newer combinations, but I don't see piston specs listed. What do you do then?

OEM replacement pistons or work with a manufacturer for a legal replacement.

Re: '07 Dodge Charger R/T
This has potential to be a fun combo.....if NHRA would extend the favorable rating they gave the street Challengers to their brother Chargers, 300, and Magnums

Re: '07 Dodge Charger R/T
Look no further than Dempsey Perdarvis and his storming street challenger...all you need to know, plenty of cheap 2009’s out there.
Even a flood damaged Hemi one in LA (COPARTS) ....but I’m looking for a dime rocket on the west coast.

Re: '07 Dodge Charger R/T
The 09 5.7 has the Eagle heads and they are much better than the original 5.7 head on your 07.
5.7 Eagle head on the 09 challenger is a VERY good combination and has a ton of potential left in it. Pendarvous went 10.71 with what looked like a 1.49 60 ft. Make that combination leave the line correctly, probably 10.40's in H/SA. |

Re: '07 Dodge Charger R/T
while I know that picking the right horse for a race is damn important and admire those who are smart enough to use what is out there I cant be too impressed with performance of cars that are rated @ about a 13% reduction from the factory rating. I say this with no ill feelings toward Dempsey or anyone else who run these combos. If rated at the factory numbers the challenger would be a E or f car and a damn fast one at that. That being said ,his cars have always been fast and your cant blame anyone for running good combos if they are out there. Rick .
