Yes they will beef up some components but this is an older style engine with a supercharger
Most shops will install a procharger/kb/vortech etc for about 6-8k
The factory can do it much much cheaper than paying retail plus labor and tune 
Also this cost will be spread across the Charger and possibly Jeep SRT8
60k seems very fair. Not only that - it needs to come in at that price because of where the supercharged competition is at.
They ****ed up the Vipers pricing. People try not to repeat mistakes |
Okay so a 392 makes 470 HP and costs 50k.
Now you have to take that car, add the entire newly updated interior and the cost of R&Ding that and then making it, the Super Charger and all supporting components. The engine is basically built, you couldnt just take the 392 engine and slap a SC on and make 700 as reliably as the Hellcat will. Then bigger brakes, cooling, suspension, wheels/tires, any special exterior mods etc.
If you wanted to take a 392 and give it all the same performance of the Hellcat with the OEM reliability + quality you'd hit at least 70gs(50+20 in mods).
If they can really get it done for 60k MSRP then that is AMAZINGGG and a HUGE WIN for Dodge.
Tine will tell
