The stock SRT handles better than a stock R/T. However I put Eibach suspension on mine, as do most of the SRT guys as well. Again it becomes a wash. The Eibach suspensions are the same for both cars.

That was actually one of the vendors. They were running one of the first Techo superchargers and got into the 11s I believe. The tune was still in development and they pushed it a little too far and boom, took out the number one cylinder I think it was.
They then had a stroked motor built by Techo (397 6.5L) and put a supercharger on that. I don't think it's quite finished yet, but will be a beast for sure once done. It has forged internals as well. Last update they were in the tuning phase and expecting 650 - 700 RWHP.
It seems FI will work on these cars, but the tuning has to be just right or there are problems. One guy ran 16lbs of boost for a while but again, it was a vendor car and they had all the time in the world to get the tune dialed in. I think it had meth injection and a bunch of other stuff too.
If I go FI I just want it to still be reliably drivable. I don't see the point is getting 600 or 700 HP if you have to fill bottles, ice boxes, who knows what to drive the thing.
500 at the wheels would keep me plenty happy if I could just hop in it and go whenever I wanted.
