I've always been a fan of Mopar's 392ci 6.4L Apache V8. I remember a few years ago when Mopar had the Stage kits for the 5.7 which included heads from the 6.4L along with a cam and the headers from the 6.4L along with other things. The thing is, A lot of the 6.4L equipment is the same or very similar to the Hellcat, minus of course, forged internals and a supercharger and the 392-cars all come with factory cold air intakes. I'm sure the Pre-Stage kit will offer a tuner and a thermostat at minium but beyond that is definitely a mystery. a Nice head and cam package would be cool along with maybe some "Race" manifolds from ARH and a catback exhaust (not from Borla), the ram air grille package and Hellcat lower intake box and things like that would be nice for the Stage-2 package. Hopefully they add alot more street stuff for the Charger like suspension upgrades, Hellcat brakes and things like that. Cosmetic options would be greatly appreciated as well. All from Mopar/Direct Connection.
Here are my predictions for the Scat Pack:
Pre-Stage: It’s or will be similar to other Pre-Stages.
If one reads the Pre-Stages for Hellcat and Redeye, it says “MDS/AFM Active Fuel Management Option”. The current 6.2 doesn’t have MDS.
For the next 2 stages, do you remember the rumor about the now-dead 426 HEMI, that was supposed to be in development and offered?
What if, the next 2 stages are actually the parts that were supposed to be in the 426 HEMI like the cam, intake manifold and heads?

(sorry to quote you just trying to get the obligatory first post out of the way) Yes, the 392 is a lot like the hellcat engine. Especially for the 2018+ Vehicles since they use the same block meaning you could hypothetically get the internals, heads, and supercharger and it will be a hellcat engine. (Would be pretty cool if dodge did offer that as the closest thing Direct connection has is the redeye rods and pistons.) as for the 6.4 heads on a 5.7 I didn’t think it was possible due to the valves basically kissing the pistons?
