yes and no, i have a map for it i got from a friend with the same mods on his 300c. Just got to change some settings because he has on auto and i have manual so his map has tcm mods for changing shift points/etc. Im just going to use his pcm map. Lots of people do the cam/exhaust/intake/ported tb combo, so public maps are a dime a dozen... I have a map like i said for that, i need the trinity for putting on a 93 octane tune vs the stock 91, and to modify fan settings for the 180 thermostat vs the stock 195 and for any other do dads i wanna tinker with.. that and it makes for a nice digi gauge pod lol.

warranty is still valid. IF something does happen to the car, they have to prove that the mods you did caused the problem/etc. Been down that road before

The mopar guys really are 15 years behind us. 2 identical engines with identical mods and mileage can require different tunes. If your friend is running the same cam it will get you close but you have no way of knowing if the tune is safe on your car and it won't be optimized. What are the cam specs at .50"?

This is the rest of the dressup kit im putting on. Once my strut tower braces come in, im getting them all hydro dipped.

It will clean up the engin*** / get rid of the hideous coolant tank, abs control box, fuse box, and a firewall plate to hide all the bullshit wires and hoses in back.

yeah the point is to get close so i can run it right away and see how it does. Just might work perfect. Worth a shot for it being a free map lol

As for the cam, 224 I / 228 E iirc

One thing i will admit to, this being my first modern car ive modified. My spirit r/t is archaic lol and the old big block charger even more so lol.

ive done a friends wrx before but with a cobb access port and rom raider, it was easy as shit lol

Dealerships dont care because they get paid by chrysler to do warranty work. They give me paperwork to sign to send in to chrysler, they come back with an acceptance or denial of warranty coverage. Ive never had a denial before, but thats because ive never had an engine or trans issues before..Just a frozen washer pump once and a fog light, thats it lol.


But, ive had 2 hemi cars before my 2014 challenger and beat the living piss out of them with zero issues. My old 06 hemi charger i traded for my old 2011 challenger, i actually found 20 miles away at a gas station recently. Was a hotty driving it. Asked her how she liked my old car and she still loves it. Ran a cam, exhaust, intake, etc on it for ever. It was on it when i got the car. And since i traded it in, the new owner put like 30k miles on it and she said it runs perfect still. So im really not worried about anything going wrong lol. Its a stout motor as long as you maintain it properly.

I should also mention that the new 6.4 srt8 motor is just a stroked 5.7. Its a pretty beastly engine if you asked me. Ive had 3 of them. 1x 3rd gen, and 2x 4th gen 5.7 hemi's

You even said this is your first modern car that you're modifying. Better hope nothing happens. Dealerships dont like to fork over money when dumbasses fuck shit up. Just look at the 2015 STI that got denied warranty service with a blown motor at 4000 miles.
