Someone shipped us a ProCharged V6 Charger from Alaska. Are we crazy for taking this on?

A customer shipped his 2023 AWD Charger GT from Alaska to our shop after other shops turned down the project.

It's got a ProCharger on the 3.6L Pentastar already, but he's looking for more than just a blower. Custom exhaust, brakes, suspension, tuning, and potentially some drivetrain upgrades.

We started with a baseline dyno run and got 276whp at 7 PSI.

Now we're figuring out what can realistically be improved without turning the whole thing into a money pit. The AWD setup and lack of aftermarket support are already making things interesting.

We're documenting the build as we go, with a new episode every Monday.

Curious where everyone stands on builds like this. Is making something different worth the extra money, or would you just buy a V8 and call it a day?

I think it's a really unique and awesome build, and I wish you guys the best of luck figuring it out. I would just get the V8, but I can't hate on someone who wants to create something that no one else has. Plus, if it doesn't work out, then the owner has even more incentive to buy a V8 instead.

Typically if there’s a vision there’s a way to make it happen. Just have to ask yourselves how much time and money he/you are willing to put into it.

After spending $9k on a unique slant 6 build, I wouldn't do it again. I'd just drop a V8 in like everyone else has done.

OJ, what's up?!?!? Been a fan since you started showing up on Alex's channel.

I, too have a v6 Charger with an exhaust on it, so I've been watching this series out of curiosity. The one I have is from Solo Performance and has the trumpet that you can adjust. Is it perfect? NO!
