The v6 challenger engines (at least my older pentastar) are super reliable but absolutely do not handle boost well at all. Knew a guy that put a supercharger kit on his v6 challenger and literally within 2 weeks blew the engine up. I don’t know if this holds true to the newer ones, but I imagine it does. The v6s weren’t made to handle big power The stock fuel system has supported the engine so far to 400+whp on our dyno with no sign of needing a larger system - including running E85. The V6 even comes with a keyed crank from the factory! Unlike the Hemi's or even the SC'd Hellcat which is odd. Installation is approximately $700. The catch can, on the other hand, actually does something beneficial for the engine. Just how beneficial may be debatable, but the point remains, they work. They indeed prevent oil, and lots of it, from entering the intake manifold; and some do a better job than others. Challenger owners across the nation have been asking themselves whether the aftermarket air intake benefits make installation worth it. In reality, there are a couple of issues with stock systems, the biggest being how efficiently (or, rather, how inefficiently) air can travel through them. If you do go the Exhaust update install J Pipes to reduce drone and lots of headaches. The V6 Exhaust is notorious for droning with modding and unless you use one of these the more you push the pedal the louder the drone and ringing gets inside the car. Truthfully for the money IMHO its not worth it have heard many that are obnoxious. The v6 charger has the same power as most v6 sports cars on the market but also much more power than most v6 cars on the road. You can also get them in Awd. So yea if you want 100-150 (with exception of hellcat and superbee) more hp driving a v8 and paying more for gas, go for it. A user asks if getting the V6 Challenger is worth it, based on the difference in gas mileage, power, and price. Other users share their opinions, experiences, and advice on the pros and cons of the V6 and V8 models, as well as the SRT8 variant. Engine. shopping. Looks like the heaviest tow rating with the V6 is a bit over 7,000 lbs, but I haven't seen one yet on the lot with the lower gears. Honestly, 7,000 (once again, if I could find a 3.55 truck) would be enough for the boat, sawmill and utility trailer I have towed in the last couple of years with my now deceased Avalanche. It's over 300 HP, gets up and moving plenty quick, and is a smooth ride. Just look at 0-60 times: the V6 is normally between 6.1 and 6.5 seconds, while the R/T is only a second faster. Of course there's plenty of other benefits to the V8, but the V6 is plenty of car for a daily driver. 6. level 1.
