Do these engines have the same type of internal garbage as the SRT 10? How much boost can they take and whats their limit on stock insides?:D
 
I think 1bad4dr could answer that. He's got a tight Charger :eek:that's a heavy hitter. I don't run my 300C hard and don't intend to so I am interested to see someone else chime in with a good answer.

:eek:Ohhh way out on the tip.. I used to go paint ballin' out there. The terrain in the woods is ideal.. I haven't been to Orchard since the 80's so I can't tell what that spot looks like anymore..

Watch out for Deer Tick:mad:
 
Deer Tick?!??!?!? Man don't tell me it's some seriously bad stuff that would hinder a great time at the beach. I'm dying to get back to NYC. It's been too long.

Well get in touch and I will round up the BoYzzz for a GTG:D
 
Remember reading in the mag that the new 600HP Vipers use the same pistons and connecting rod assembly as the 6.1 Hemi. So they (pistons and rods) should be able to handle up to that hp level in the 6.1, as for the other internals, tranny, and rear, I dunno.
 
Ohhh no doubt... I would have done that anyway..:D When I'm ready to come through I'll hit you up on a PM with my number and we can go from there.. Now I gotta bounce. I got a BBQ GTG to run today..:vroam:

:argh:pEACE!!!
 
They are extremely strong on the inside. The guy that set the world record ran 10.8 in an 05 300 on a 3 stage nitrous system. His only mods are CAI and drag suspension and drag radials. His tranny started to go after about 20 or so passes.
 
Rods are same powder forging as the Vipers...I had PP heads, cam, CAI, exhaust and a B&G flashed PCM on my car. The guy who owns it now has put a full race cam in with custom tuning..he runs it often at Bristol and uses it as a daily driver...nary a problem with internals...
 
Weak for boost. Strong when forged. We run 10.70 in the 300C forged with no worries on the engine. Never gamble with a stock botton end.
 
6.1: Decent internals but the pistons, rotating assembly is not forged, trans is a Mercedes Benz sourced item which I recall is factory rated for 525 ft-lb torque. Rear end is a 3.06:1 diff, independent rear suspension with half shafts. This is the weak link in the drive train, i.e. half shafts. They tend to and will snap if big HP and torque are applied to an OEM shaft, especially with drag radials or slicks. Trans has been reported to be good to 700 plus HP. Mercedes has used the same trans in the E55 and E63 wagons, both of which are higher rated (OEM HP and torque) than the LX SRT's. Engines seem to be happy with FI but environment, duty cycle and tuning are key to durability.

Actually, the Crank is the only part that is forged. The top ring land on the pistons make this an unhappy motor with high boost F/I applications. 4 -5 psi seems to be doing well on a stock bottom end with a good tune.

The Halfshafts will snap on a bone stock car that uses DR's. Not just a modded car.
