Most converters will flash 15-20% higher than the rated speed when leaving off dead idle or downshifting. If you brake torque it rpm will be closer to the rating. I'd expect a 3000rpm stall to hit 3400-3500 WOT off idle.

If it was a GM car I could tell you if it would work or not. I haven't the faintest clue how the trans tune looks on the dodge pcm.


It wont (Needs to have the tcm tuned) IIRC you can go to a 3300 stall through the factory TCM. Anything higher requires a standalone unit. Don't quote me on that but that's what I remember when I looked at going that route before going full retard on mine.

It turns better than the BRZ accelerates haha.




I hope you like it. The converter will wake it up big time and have little to no effect on fuel economy. City mileage may drop 2mpg or so.



Not to steal the thread, but it does quite well for 200hp.

As they always say, it’s easier to make a car “faster” than shedding weight.

Bro, it’s a full size family sedan with a 392 Hemi. If I wanted a track car, I’d go buy a used atsv.

You’re negating my cars purpose and calling it a boat, but it actually drives pretty nicely for a full size sedan that weighs 4200 lbs 😂.

A ratio of input power to performance is irrelevant but if it makes your pee pee feel bigger, go for it.

I couldn’t blame him honestly, since his car has literally no practical use other than a mediocre means of transportation.

Awwweeesheeettt

Anyways, back on topic.. No updates as of yet on my car, still waiting for it to get to the dealership..

My dealership has a 2018 Hellcat in transit, I’m begging them to let me test drive it 😬...

No test drives without first being approved or having money in hands. Strait from FCA corporate. That's for all hellcat models

The sales manager is one of my wife’s old friends, so that’s a bit of wiggle room.. I think the problem is that they know I’m not spending 70k on a Charger.

We’ll see though

Super Large pee pee for sure. It’s completely relevant to weight, actually. It’s not hatred, it’s actually the opposite, as people understand it’s not always how fast something goes, but the balance and the connection to the road.

My initial response was simply a joke, “bro.”


It’s a bit hypocritical to say that I negate your car’s purpose, when you completely negate mine. My car is 100% practical for my daily life style, as your car will be to you.
