The 2009 Dodge Challenger will get even more power. With the help of a supercharger from Mopar. The updated vehicle will be unveiled in November at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.
With 2 stages of modification, the power of the 6.1-liter Hemi V8’s engine will grow from 425 hp to 630 hp.
Along with the blower, the ’09 Challenger will get the typical SEMA treatment: a cold-air intake, a high-flow cat-back exhaust system and, of course, a few different sets of rims.
Soon after the first 2008 Dodge Challenger rolled out of the production line, Speedfactory hurried to get one in order to present their customization program.
The standard vehicle features the 6.1-liter supercharged Hemi V8 which delivers 496 hp but with the first supercharged level from the tuniner, which uses a new centrifugal style supercharger, the engine delivers an astonishing 600 hp! Also 20" staggered forged wheels were added to deliver better stability!
