exactly, that thing was a monster. 6.1L Hemi, close to 5K pounds. i love it to death.

but that's exactly what it is, a 6.1L Hemi, it's not exactly the most economical daily driver. now it's my show car. :]]

^^ yeah. why didn't i think of that?! -___-;;

hey, how difficult is it to install the full turbonetics kit?

i'm guessing there's a tune in need once it's installed, is there really anything else needed? and what's a reasonable price for one?

My vortech got me there, but I have an 06 6MT. Buy a used one, for best hp/$! You will eventually need a better clutch.
There is a sticky about vortechs

and the turbo kits are hella $$. i honestly didn't search for turbo kits to well, because i mostly came up with 4K-6K products.

is there really anything else that can be modded with the engine? something a little more reasonable in pricing for a 6MT.
Because that's almost everything there is

If you want 400 WHP you will need forced induction.

Those things are a minimum of 600 lbs heavier than our porky G35's

If you really mean how to achieve the same performance as your SRT8, then I don't think 400hp is necessary to achieve that.

If you want the cheapest way to 400hp, I suppose a 200+ shot of NOS would be it. Dont' know how long your engine would survive.

10k for a new twin turbo kit installed and tuned by a reputable shop. If you want a solid and reliable 400whp (~450 at the crank) you will most likely need additional supporting mods (exhaust, RFS, ect...ect...) and the price will start going up quite a bit.

You can pick up a used Turbonetics kit for 3500.00 or less. Just make sure everything is included such as piping, intercooler, wastegate, turbo, downpipes, couplers and clamps (those clamps are effin expensive). The kit isn't that hard to install as long as you are mechanically inclined. As for a tune yes you will need one and you will also have to send your ecu out to Turbonetics for them to reflash it. PM me if you need some info so my fellow drivers don't kill you for asking so many discussed questions.
