I believe those are at the wheel. A Procharger? Sweet. I'd be affraid to do that to a brand new car with a warranty, but hey, if you can afford to do it.... hell yeah.

of course im going to have a "break in" period. but after that its getting blown. probably later this summer or next winter.ive waited long enough for this car and im not gonna wait another 3 years until my warranty expires. if something were to happen(knock on wood), i dont have a problem taking it in and paying to fix it.
im already on the list for the Pedders XA suspension, and when Borla gets their exhaust out this month ill be buying the catback and the headers from them. so theres a few warranty items already blown.

Why? K&N claims 21.09hp increase for the 5.7 Hemi Charger/300/Magnum. And have dynos to prove it.

I have the K&N CAI on my Charger and it sure feels like at least 21hp to my butt dyno.
If the stock intake is very restrictive then there is no reason that you could not gain that much with a free flowing COLD air intake. Look what a differrence just a lid made to LS1 Fbodies. I also have a 99 LS1 Trans Am and SLP claims 8-10hp for thier lid. http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=2520 That's JUST a lid, not a CAI. Not to mention that awesome sound you get with a CAI.

I'd be shocked if any of those didn't yield at least 1hp increase over stock.

Found this over at Camaro5.com
This is a speed shot of an ls3 vette with headers, tune, and cold air intake that made 450 rwhp. Just think what the SS will be like with some of these mods.

dead link.^^^^ 450 hp from a intake headers and a tune? the car has 430 stock(not at the wheels). which would be around 390 maybe to the wheels. probably less. i doubt it got 60hp from those upgrades. i have never gotten that much power out of my cars by doing intake and headers and a tune. the only time i got that much power from those upgrades was when i had a supercharger. all those items sure help it breath better.
