love it when i’m just sitting parked and can still feel the torque
Sounds like constipation lol
@@brandonrogers5207 Like shitting a hammerhead shark after a 2000 mile motorcycle road trip.
Great tip on the 392 powered cars. Here's a few tips I did as well. Mid muffler...don't delete. Instead, swap them out for Dynomax mini race bullets part #24250. Much more growl and bark, but keeps the drone away. Intake wise, I've run both the Mopar cai w/headlight tube and Hellcat setup...both perform well. After I tweaked the Mopar design a bit to seal it better, it kept the IAT ambient when moving + 20-25* cooler when in traffic than the Hellcat. Once my car is back together, going with a JLT series 2 as my intake setup. Forged, cammed 392 might need to breathe a little deeper..lol
Can I get a picture of your car? I have a Scat
No

Quevon lemme gotta photo of ya wife.
I have a wife too so it’s cool.
My automotive teacher had my class watch this for an assignment. Awesome👍
Dodge putting 245’s on a heavy, high torque vehicle boggles my mind! Perhaps they want to promote drifting experience! Lol
It is the muscle way lol
You'd be surprised how fast small tire cars in the 1/4 🤗🤗🤗 some are faster than the big tire cars 😁
Racer X does the mid muffler delete void the warranty?
@@OccultOdysseyGamingGalaxies Good point! Less weight to spin around means quicker acceleration. Certainly a factor and I’m sure there’s the proper size for optimal ETs.
@@RacerX9 it’s like putting high heels on a marathon runner... may fit but just doesn’t perform !!!!!! Congrats on hitting 50,000 subs awhile back too!!!!! If you ever need any extra CZcams mods lemme know! I’m an admin on a coulple of non car related topic channels now.. thanks again for what u do!!!!
As ALWAYS -YOU- make the video and your FACTS come ALIVE-great job keep up the great videos!!
Just bought a 2021 Challenger scat pack! Love everything about it except the gas mileage! 😂 I appreciate all your videos!
Just bought a 2018 f8 green charger scat pack and im loving it!
@@themotorcycleguy5980 yessir f8 green the best one
I added a Thornton power chip. I'm getting about 4-5 miles per gallon more in my 392.
Who buys a scat and complains about gas mileage should’ve got a Prius bro
Buy a Intake headers and throttle body only thing I regret is paying 1900 for cat back exhaust just do a mid delete
Good advice, sir. I recommend the resonator delete on these cars. When in Track mode and I use the paddle shifters or manual shift option, there is a distinctive "slap" between gear changes. Sounds unreal and much better than any other performance car i've owned - including porsches and a couple of beamers.
I'll try to do a GoPro video for all to see/hear. 👊🏼
Really appreciate the video brother, plan on getting a 392 charger in the spring.
Nice.. I hope you do 👍
Getting mine in August
Judging my your profile pic you already got it. Congrats bro!
Word! I didn't modify the exhaust nor the intake. Kept it stock. If I wanted more power, I'll get a Hellcat.
These work for the RT as well. For mine I make sure to use 89 Octane (recommended), changed the tires to 275's, did a mid muffler delete, stock intake with K&N Drop in and Oil Catch Can.
Which catch can did you get
Thats a good recipe Eric..all solid mods
5.7 hemi is a truck engine, actually the truck version hemi is higher output then the car version, might as well donate the extra cash your wasting on premium fuel that does nothing to enhance the engine performance.
@@canton7180 the 6.4 is a truck engine too, just depends on the tune, if dodge tunes these engines for higher octane then you gotta do it, but yeah kinda weird truck engines aren't good with anything but top grade fuel lol
87 Octane in a $60K Muscle/Performance Car ??? 91 Octane MINIMUM to prevent premature engine damage/wear & ensure a smooth ride..
Great tips ! Thinking of buying a new Challenger Shaker very informative.
I got my Scat Pack Challenger yesterday. Thanks for the heads ups!
your information videos are the best on this channel, ty sir
When I switched out the runs and went with a 10.5 inch rim in back with a 305/35/20, the change in stability was immense. The car became very stable in back and was no longer unpredictable
Wide body or narrow body? I have a narrow body and I want to run 305 in the rear but I don’t know if it can fit with out rubbing
@@feniksguevara4107 pppo
@@feniksguevara4107 I have 305s on my 2020 and have no issues
I went with Factory Reproductions FR70 in 9.5”F/10.5”R and 275F/315R (Continental AS) on my ‘18 Charger, and have the 3mm shim spacer from Billet Technologies on the rear. Definitely more predictable but will still break loose at low speeds. 3 years and 20k on them so far
@@feniksguevara4107 narrow. Sorry for the late reply
I’m loving my 1320 wow going to the track this Wednesday can’t wait.
Real life answers to real life questions, seriously a great video
You nailed it about dealerships putting gas in & not realizing that you don't just put regular in every car. My Stinger GT2, I got back in September recommends premium & when they were taking me to fill up the tank, they hit the regular button. I stopped them & said wait, these recommend premium. Luckily he didn't argue that premium isn't required, as there is a difference & he would of been right, but he did start the process over again at the pump & selected premium for me. The '08 Charger R/T I picked up two days before the Stinger, I always put premium in as well.
they know dam well it should be premium they don't care
Even though it's 6 things you shouldn't do, RacerX seems to find a way to make it yet another positive video, which should read: 6 things you should do. Lol you're the best bro!
Hey thanks Rik...
Love your content, been a slow process on my 50th anniv scat, done headers, cam, tune, cats etc... working on rods and pistons now before procharging as a final step (i hope) keep up the cool vids
Awesome stuff.. its going to be a beast for sure
About to get a 17 challenger scat- thank you for this video 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Only have an RT but I was surprised that the scats come with 245's too. Not enough tire for the hp.
My scat has 305
@@1millionsubscriberswithnov942 you probably have a widebody, the scat packages have an option to upgrade for $695 to 275.
Mine has the dynamics package with 275s
Not enough weight. Needs more to make it slower. IRON block engine 🤢
Got to always remember that gains aren't always just for top end hp and tq. It's been proven that gains in low and mid range can be just as important.
Yes ideally you would want to get gains over the entire RPM band but I prefer to have power on the bottom end of the curve
Perfect. SRT's can put the power to the ground better than any inside tuning house I've ever come up against. Traction is always my biggest issue. With my 392 SRT 8, I was unable to find any discrepancies with these mods. I use it as a daily driver. Everyone wants better performance and sound. I can crank over 100hp out a stock SRT 4, but the 392s shouldn't be played with. No magic outside of turbos, superchargers or nitrous. Thanks for the vid. -A fellow professional tuner.
Thanks man you're a really big help to new Mopar owners.
Love that Shaker! MrsX we need to race (again). 1st run never made it out of ur video edit room so no proof who won. 😎
She’s always down to race .. 👍
Thanks for the info ...I'm a 75 yo us navy Vietnam/cold war veteran who used to have a 69 Plymouth rr years ago. I'm thinking of buying a scat pack late model later this year. All this info will help
Have a 17 392...85 since day one. Have had no problems
Thank you. New owner of a 2021 Charger Scatpack. Great info.
Damn that's a beautiful neighborhood.
Great video content, it pretty much covers all makes of cars, sometimes some of simple mods can cost
more problems down the line.
This is very true
Definitely helpful coming from a new 392 owner!!
I love the challengers with the shaker
Great review I'm cutting down my meds leaving on the resonators keep up the good work
93 octane makes my 5.7 Hemi come alive! Loves it!
5.7 only needs 89 for optimal performance and fuel economy. You’re wasting your money with 93.
@@cliffklimas8324 Sam’s has 2 grades 87 and 93.
Thanks for that info git a 2020 scatpack and yeah came with 245 planning to get bigger ones for the rear thanks again
Appreciate the videos brother extremely informative
Hey just bought my 2020 scat pack charger and thanks to you, I was more convinced
YOU DID IT!!!! Bless your little ole pea pickin heart. You called it an Engine!! I dont know what it is about me and motor/engine but so many people I think out of habit just call them a motor. God bless you brother. You do some great videos with information. Keep up the good work
Did that just for you lol... thank you my friend
They're interchangeable, unless you think a motorcycle should be called an enginecycle.
U the Man. Great info. KEEP IT COMMING
I have a 2017 Charger Scatpack w/Daytona trim (6.4L Hemi, 275 tires, Brembo brakes (6 pistons on front, 4 on back), a lot of set ups (that the Tazer would unlock on other vehicles) and have used 93 octane from the beginning. When I purchased it, I told the finance guy I had no interest in racing it and would only put about 5k miles on it per year. So, the finance guy doubled the warranty to 10 yrs/60k miles as a perk. :)
I just bought one it came with 275 tires on original wheels it handles really good 6speeds manual
Good advice for the 392 folks.
Great video thank you. Short sweet and to the point!
Just got my scat pack today 💯👍👀
Like a week i had mind man I Love this car
That’s a lot of good info . Thanks keep them coming.
Scat Pack Fever got it from a little kitty next door!
305 tires rule..245 tires burn out real good but ditches seem way closer than the image in my mirrors...
I feel this is the reason why a lot of us 5.7 owners try to pick a lot of the OEM parts from the 392. It’s cheaper to buy and the engine itself is just badass
im putting a 392 cam in my 5.7 next week 😉
@@glockmodder nice!
Im putting a crate bge in my 14 charger 5.7
I'll say great video racer x. 💯✌
Great tips and explanation...I surprised with the zero power of cats deleted!!!!!! In the end of the day your suggest is make sense
Huge tip on oil, make sure it is made specifically for srt brand motors. Any off brand will not hold up, and you will get an interesting ticking sound.
Man these cars are so poorly made lol
@@tatortot999you don’t have one- they are unbreakable pal, true American muscle.
Thanks RacerX. I did the Hellcat lower air box. Are you happy with your upgraded throttle body?
Enjoyed your tips mine's a 2012 SRT8 392 but I did buy it used ( I'm the third owner ) but love it .
I do put 5w40 engine oil in the summer cuz these 392 run really hot when you tune it. And i would highly recommend installing 180 T-stat and tune the fans.
I know this has been out there but missed the video before. The advice is very sound. I have the older Hellcat hood on mine. I didn't;t mind the extractors but the intake was annoying me as the engine was always dirty. I bought the TA intake kit to make the intake scoop more functional. Did that along with the Hellcat lower airbag and intake tube. Keeps the engine cooler and cleaner. The great thing is while it does block the drivers side extractor there is still large areas around the edge for plenty of heat to get out.
For exhaust I am about to order the Xmod myself. I have always had very good luck with magnaflow exhaust on my cars.
I didn’t expect that much oil to be in the catch can because it’s NA motor. My supercharged modified Lightning oil seperator doesn’t fill with oil as fast as your scatpack.. great video
I bought a non widebody 2015 scat pack Challenger (used @ 33k miles) and the previous owner did a resonator delete and put 275s on the front and 315s on the rear. Now the car can really keep the power down.
Just installed a billet catch can today! Let’s see just what I kept from going into those cylinders I’ll probably check it in 100-200 miles just to see lol
Just got a 6 speed scat pack two weeks ago and love it! Haven’t spun the tires yet😁
Haha.. you will ... lol
Sweet
No way? Seen a doctor about that? I'm planning on getting a scat in the near future. Just looking for that right $40k car out there!? I plan on destroying the 245s b4 I get 305 or 315s on her.
Just grabbed that 2022 I appreciate u for the tips 💯
Great info just got a 392 myself
RacerX does the dealership hassle you or void warranty over the oil catch can being installed? Love your channel. Cheers to you and Mrs!
Great video
I’m actually considering getting a 2020 challenger Scatpack widebody
I do wildlife and outdoor photography so I’m typically leaving my house very very early in the morning and out of respect for my neighbors, I kept my stock exhaust. Now let’s understand something, it’s a stock exhaust setup...hooked to the 6.4 Apache. Even factory bone stock, it is a goddamn terror... especially in the relatively cold DMV winters. Mid muffler delete is good but it’s one of those cars that unless you’re changing things under the hood and doing a proper exhaust swap, there is absolutely no need to do anything to the exhaust. It sounds absolutely glorious as is and once above the 4000 threshold, the valves open up to make it unbelievably barbaric.
Good point on mid muffler deletes. I think it’s the perfect sound for a scat.
Yes that sounds good for sure
I made a muffler delete on mine and there's an annoying pop and crack noise when I start up the car half of the time. anyone can help me getting rid of that maybe change the piping that replaced the mufflers or something?
Deleted the mids added 1974 vibrants 👌🏽👌🏽
Go with 2.5 inch pipes!
took away the same problem I had!👍
I test drove a 2011 STR8 392 Manual two weeks ago. Prior owner did a 3" straight pipe with x-pipe. Sounded OK when on the pedal but on any decel the drone was unbearable. Unfortunately had my wife with me on the test drive and that was not a good thing. Plus the system was 100% welded which would make it difficult for DIY maintenance work at home. What a shame.
Thanks for the useful information 💪
No worries my friend
I wouldn't have known some of it, thanks for the info
I work in a company that we build exhaust system for dodge company , exhaust for hellcat and other models of challenger . It breaks my heart people don’t like stock exhaust 😢 God knows how much we work hard to build them .
I’m in IT department responsible for the robots and computers for cutting bending and welding pipes for the exhaust and mufflers. I wish people were keeping the stock exhaust 😭
Little late to this comment but I would never change the stock exhaust I love it thank you for your hard work
Thankyou for your straight to the point, well spoken videos. What is your opinion on midmuffler delete, and adding Dynomax race bullets?
Thats another good way to go... Sound is subjective so its really up to your individual taste
Great Video Racer-X !! genuine ! Like and subscribed
Welcome to the channel my friend
Regarding tires, I am running the FR 73 10.5" wheels with Nitto NT 555 G2 tires in my '16 Scat Pack Charger. They are insufficient when running them at street pressures. Just go with some 305's on the rear. I didn't want to get the M/T drag radials with winter coming on.
OWN a 2020 ScatPack widebody .. ... Love it ,,, had 2012 SRT ,, this one is much better .. mine has 305' ... great traction!
work play drive did a video on exhaust cutouts and a dyno session. he picked up about 3 horsepower with the exhaust dumped just after the cats. the exhaust setup on the 392 is already optimized really well from the factory. it even comes with manifolds that are basically shorty headers.
Yes I fully agree with you my friend.
What if you install long tube headers with high flow cats
@@blackice7408 it'll get alot louder, you might pick up 1 or 2 horsepower, but you'll need a custom tune to maximize the air flow. with a tune, maybe 10 ish, depending on what other mods have been done and what gas you use.
@@vegaswould yea because the 392 from factory is already speced out as much as possible from factory. Thats why ur not gonna get much out of the engine if you try to do things to it. Now the 345 hemi however is very restrained from the factory. Thats why you can do a few things to it and get so much juice from it. I saw a guy run his stock 2017 charger rt in 30⁰F weather and got a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds - very close to the same time on a scatpack. And if you remove the speed limiter, you can potentially make the rt reach speeds of 171 mph on the charger - close to the 175 mph top speed of the scatpack
Yep,its the same exhaust setup as the Hellcat so if it'll handle 700+ hp.,485hp. isn't a problem
Traded my 20 charger RT for a 20 challenger scat pack 50th anniversary. #6 of 70.
You and your damn videos made me! It’s so sick
Nice. I appreciate the tips!
Absolutely my friend
Thanks 4 the Tip about switching it out before going to the dealership. I was hesitant about installing it . So I’ve just had it sitting in my house for months 🤦🏾♂️
Yes.. sometimes you just have to work your way around things lol
The dealer can still tell you've swapped your PCM even if you put the old one back in. There is nothing about putting the original PCM back in that helps, and there are documented cases of dodge denying warranties for it
Went with 20x10(275) in the front and 20x11.5(315) on the rear on my 2019 Charger Scat Pack. The 245s just didn't feel right to on such heavy bulky vehicle.
I agree about the dealer putting 87. I bought a Jeep SRT and the salesman offer to fill up the tank, luckily I was riding with him because he reached for the 87 and I told him not to because they only use 91 or higher.
What if I add a Borla Atak Catback exhaust system to my 392 Challenger how will it sound? And what do you think about it?
Agreed...aftermarket air intake kits on most new high HP cars are $400 noise makers!
Great video thanks for the information
For sure my friend
Great content buddy👍
Thank you Chad..
Nice video with some good information!💯
Another don't...don't hit the gas too hard in wet weather..especially when cornering‼️😬
Yes. great catch on that one..
Are you sure something like the hellcat intake wouldn’t help speed at the upper end? Like maybe not in the 0-60, but maybe in the 100-180 mph range
Great vid racer ex I totally agree with you on all your points , I’ve done the mid muffler delete , catch can but this up coming spring I plan on getting a wider tire on the rear . What’s your opinion on strut braces ? Is it necessary ? . Cheers
Strut towers don’t do any good on these cars.. I would steer clear 👍
@@RacerX9 thanks for the advise racer X . Stay safe . Cheers
@@RacerX9 Are you sure about that? I know body roll isn't really an issue for drag racing, but it is for autocross. Not sure many Chally/Charger driver's are into that, but still...
thx for the info.. getting my 2021 or 2022 scat pack in July ..
How do you feel about the Mopar Cold air intake? Mines came standard with the Daytona package.
Hey racer x when should I do the first oil change on my brand new challenger scatpack and what is the ideal mileage for subsequent oil changes
Great info 💪💰
Looks sick🔥
Got a 22’ widebody chally here n did super 10 from flowmasters and it was still very muted, so I ended up taking both the resonators and mufflers off.. and at part to mid throttle it sounds really good but not overly loud, and only gets raspy n raps when shifting in sport or track mode. I know most straight piped cars sound bad but to me it doesn’t sound overly obnoxious n I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on the tone. There is noticeable drone at highway speeds but doesn’t really bother me, and is eliminated when manual upshifting into 7th or 8th gear.
I have a 2020 scat pack 50th anniversary with the 392 shaker and I have the 275 tires in the rear but was thinking of doing 305 in the rear the wheels are 9.5 do I need to go to a 10 inch wheel ? And do you have a recommendation for protecting the matte finish on the hood roof and trunk lid ? And what brand of oil do you recommend to use ? I have always used amsoil full syn what are your recommendations? Thank you in advance.
Thank you
I'm running 275 with 18 inch rims on thr back of my 2006 mustang and I'm still spinning pretty bad so the tire width you said wouldn't work is super true
Go with nitto 555 really good tire that really grips the road! and it's really thick on thread you can also literally do like 50 burnouts before you need replacement and the tire is fairly cheap! and you can go with the original size too to save money! but that also depends on how much power your car actually has! if it's more then stock go with wider tires but still chose nitto 555's! I would since I experienced it and the difference in wallet and on the road! hopefully this helps 👍
drove a srt durango that thing got so much torque and i love it
can't get 93 octane in California. 91 is the highest you can get.
Which tires does Mrs. X have on the scat pack? I agree with the comment about the tires, but it seems like none of the aftermarket tires last that long. I.e., on my last challenger I went with Mikey Thompson's (i think street comp) and I really loved them at first, but they were bald pretty quick... Anyways, trying to figure out which tires to look at now.
I just picked up a widebody scatpack charger yesterday. I'm dying to use line lock and launch control.
I'm trying my hardest to properly break it in, (it's frickin hard.)
I've done a few 1st,2nd,3rd gear pulls,but trying not to Rev it to hard yet til after my 1st oil change
I love the 315s on my widebody. I couldn’t imagine a 275 much less that donut of a 245.
Yeah...I have a 345 and The 245s feel really inadequate.
For newer Challengers ... probably 2015+ ... Dodge will know if you swap ECMs. It will set a code in the BCM that the ECM has been removed. Probably depends on your relationship with the service department whether or not it becomes an issue.
Yes my tech would also reprogram the mileage for me as well since it didn't match
When you put the bigger tires that you are talking about, how much will it throw your speedometer off? By the way, these are excellent tips.
They're just wider they're not any bigger around
