Cam 392 OVER Supercharger? Why... 

Looking forward to hanging out & seeing which ever build you bring. All of them are making some serious power. Keep up the great work - you're crushing it with these Hemi's

How funny. Dudes subscriber count is 3.92

Sounds amazing u guys help me lift my channel I’m building this Camaro check it out

i know it is kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released series online ?

How much to do a cam swap in a 5.7 R/t?

Yah forced air has the higher ceiling - most with real builds end up doing both.

Nothing like having both!

@@RTLife it's possible to have both??

Is it possible to have both tho? I have a 2020 scar pack shaker and I’d like to start off with a cam and some headers and chill at about 500whp for a while, but can I forced air to the same set up later?

@@luisrincon3355 to supercharge the “right” way you should forge the internals, or your stuck at about 6-7 boost safely. Most folks just trade up to a Hellcat at that point. But a bolt on/cammed 392 is nothing to sneeze at!

yah it does sound really good

It's a menacing sound to others at a stop light

yah that thing sounds insane - making some really nice power

Cam. Always more impressive when you get your boosted ass handed to you by a na car. Just watch Sneeky Snakes

So how much would it cost for the cam and long tube headers?

James L done properly, 4-5 k

@@Welcometofacsistube thanks

I've been vouching for camming 392's over supercharging. If you want to reliably supercharge, you need to forge it, which is a fair bit of cash for both. Meanwhile, a cam with some other basic mods can do you just as well, and it won't be as hard on your engine as forced induction.

Facts

fr fr i need to know so bad

I have a 2012 392 super bee, MMX NSR stage 3 cam, tune, custom exhaust, 100 shot, and I'm at 187,500 miles. I installed the cam at 110k. No signs of abnormal wear, compression checks out, and I've sprayed about 40 bottles with no issue. It's all about regular maintenance, good quality components/fluids and a solid tune.

@@matthewjacques392 I would love to see and hear your build man sounds amazing! And thank u for a good thorough explanation I’ve need that

​@matthewjacques392 thank you for letting me know I can get to that mileage. I just rolled over to 90k 2 days ago and was wondering if I should sell it. 😂

he's a really cool guy - def doing some big things with these Hemi's

agreed - def makes a healthy amount of HP

Throw some 305 45 17s on it and it actually isn't a handful at all, you'll actually be sad because you'll see Hellcats just roast them all day and you can't turn them over stomping the gas at 30. 😥

Thank you! both ways can make some nice power - just need the right pieces

it's enough to be in the 10's - which is fast as hell

Sak 20012019. Facts!!

Thats why im happy with my srt the way it is. Fast enough to make me smile every time i nail the gas

Hal 1000 i was talking wheel but ya same concept 😂

Not being mean but 500 and 500 is a 10 sec car on a light car not a 44-4600 pound one . Hellcats make 640-650 whp and 615 wtq stock and can barely get in to the high 10’s in perfect conditions

Thanks man - I really appreciate it

Glad this was helpful in some way - thank you for the support

Yeah man - I'm so on the fence Magnuson SC vs Cam and long tubes as you described. SC is about 10k installed with tune. Going to have them price me out a CAM set-up.

Hahhaa that’s awesome!!! I hope you convince her. Thanks man

def understand - sounds insane & the power is there to back it up

Absolutely 😎

I think 550whp is a lot to play with!

500+whp N/A is so damn awesome - really wanted to show people it can be done with this video. Thanks man - def appreciate it.

Ive seen a max effort NA 5.7 Put down 507 whp on E85. I believe its on high psi performance youtube

hahaha - yah that thing hits hard!

it really depends on the shop. Cam will likely be around $4k for everything & headers can go on as you have the cam installed. All of these upgrades are expensive though - HP def isn't a cheap thing!

Yah everyone loves hearing that chop chop!

It is panda 🐼

yah I think that is the theme of the charger (panda)

@@RTLife what is panda ig I like his wicker bill spolier.

yup! He's doing some really cool stuff with these hemi's - certainly has a golden cam

Should do high flow heads and a ported manifold. Many Lts are making 550-575 whp with heads and cam on e85

i don't blame you

totally understand what you mean.

hahaha

You're correct - he does do some porting for these kinds of results. I thought it was only the heads though. Pretty impressive though N/A - wonder what kind of results he would get with a stroker kit added.

I believe the best bang for the buck is possibly a vortech kit. If money were no option, a good NA build would be fun.

Who's tuning your 392? & which cam upgrade did you go with?

Could be the tune ? Im at 470 whp with lt headers, catless mids, exhaust, intake, ported tb and ported manifold. Should be going in this friday to retune for e85.

Weird brotha am stock and that's what am making 476

How are the performance gains?

My 394 stroker with the HRT stage 2 cam will be driving this weekend, I’ll have dyno numbers in a few weeks after I break her in.

Bri-man Hunter do post info

Predator Ops 31. What would you like to know?

Bri-man Hunter you get the hydraulic rollers one? There’s so many options I have no clue.

500whp is plenty - you’re right, not much is hanging with you. They would need forced air

yah that thing rips! sounds great

I don't blame you

yah it's amazing how much power you can get with an N/A build

That's why you get a converter that puts you where your power comes in

I have a stock 392 running through a stock Chrysler 5.7 exhaust. The quiet exhausts costs me on the top end but I get over 400 lb-ft of torque from as low as 1500RPM all the way to 5000! I am at 426HP/425lb-ft dead stock. I believe with a cam, long tubes, etc I could also get to 500

His cam is netting some awesome results. have you installed it yet?

No i have this big (not huge though) lol custom grind cam sitting in my living room. I just hit 170,xxx so I figure if I want to get the most out of this motor before getting a piston and drop in kit. So I might as practically rebuild the heads I'll be replacing lots of the parts like lifters valve seats, upgrading the valve springs, guides and so on. I'm trying to get another set of heads to do that actually But whichever comes first and whichever fits the budget. My 06 MagSrt8 is literally my daily driver almost want to call it my work horse lol. My goal is to keep the drivability and make 500rwhp all naturally aspirated and when ever I want with a switch of the tune, swap out the rears with a pair of ET streets and connect a bottle of go (nitrous) fast for a 120-150 just for a night or day of fun and then after.the fun is over go home back to everyday norm... Its either that or just get the conversion plates from MMX and go with a hellcat supercharger lol havent completely decided 🤣 im just glad after speaking to @mackbuilt when I was placing my order for the cam. The decision to go with a custom gring allows me to have the room to grow with any direction to make more power unlike if I were to go with just the drop in cam... well it was kool to see his work and getting his name out. Trust me he appreciates you giving him a shout and the recognition on your channel. Take care and like always keep up the good content. Sorry for the (3 page letter) long as comment 😅

I would skip shorty headers if you have a 392 or hellcat or if you're planning on camming or adding forced air. At that point you want long tubes. IN regards to best camshafts, that's a great question - I would reach out to MachBuild on IG. He seems to have a great thing going with Cammed Hemi's

Yah an n/a build would be tempting. The 392 seems to bet really solid results

Both are awesome rides! Thank you for the support

He must have been making tons of low end torque!

I’m at 530whp with my WB Challenger Scat Pack. Getting ready to up that by 25whp or so, and having my tranny built by SHR.

Probably the tune because those hp70 can handle up to 700hp no problem after 700 its better to build it or swap

it's basically the best engine you can get for an N/A build on the market. Most want that forced air though.

I was impressed with the N/A numbers - certainly worth going down that road.

yup - the dyno showed the cam/long tubes can add a lot of power to these 392's. 500+whp is a lot of performance to play with

R/T Life yeah my girl wants the 2020 charger wide body with cam so when it’s ready I’ll give you the info on power and all that good stuff for your viewers.

@@dad2817 obviously if your running a cam your gonna have fbo's other wise your a idiot in my opinion lol.

yah I need to clean that up! Didn't see it until editing the video

Thanks man - I appreciate it

R/T Life. Yea sir, 394 is going in the truck tomorrow🙃

I needed new lifters, pushrods, locators, retainers & springs. You will also need head gaskets, coolant & oil/filter.

@@RTLife did you put back oem parts or did you upgrade the pushrods etc

@@RTLife I did everything cam cai tune headers but the head gaskets tp my 2012 srt8 charger car made 510 to the wheel and 480 torque pretty pleased with the results

Thank you!

he's a really cool guy & doing some really nice work

thanks man - def appreciate it.

Did you get slower ?

def a nice ride

agreed

392 is the best engine for an N/A build - the gains are impressive with cam/stroker.

couldn't agree more! 👊

I hear you - camming a 392 will certainly add a healthy amount of performance

Daryl rabara-brokate. Boost creates to much heat for the factory tight ring lands to hold. The stock bottom end with ring gap will hold a lot more.

@@bri-manhunter2654 it's not the heat, the issue is the top ring land is very close to the top of the piston for emissions bs which makes the top ring land very thin and weak, boost will crack those ring lands then kaboom there goes your engine.

Richie Carbone. Yes, they did do that for emissions and it does not help the situation. However, it’s the tight tolerance of the ring lands touching together from extra heat of the boost causing the piston to Momentarily seize in the bore. The stock bottom end holds way more power when you just add ring gap. This has been proven by Richard Holdener multiple times, WyoTech dyno tuner got last 20 years.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it

It's a custom grind cam by @Mackbuilt on instagram. Dude def has the magic sauce!

Thanks bro

You can get tuners to work on your RT remotely. Meaning they can email you tunes to load up. Is that something that interests you? Look into Hemifever or Greene Racing - both are very popular online tuners

yah building up the engine starts getting a little too expensive after cam, headers & heads. Even those pieces are a lot.

Your gunna need all this to go boosted anyways

I appreciate the support - a lot of great options for modding

Go big or go home

I can give it the old college try!

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Hopefully it helps some people looking into modding up their 392

glad this was helpful in some way

Which one are you referring to?

@@RTLife Blue charger in the beginning. Deeper and less brappy when you stepped on it (I have mid muffler delete). The cammed ones are even more insane lmao

Thanks man, that one is mine. I appreciate it

LOL

he doesn't give out the cam specs on them

depends on the shop & labor costs. I would say $3500-4000 for everything installed is about what most would pay

R/T Life links to where to get a good cam for the 392?

That's the dream!

Waiting on install now! Kooks long tube, cam and Kenne Bell Mammoth 2.8lc

@@bdubs3602 You get this done yet man? I'd like to see.

@@claystero5504 ya its just wrapping up
