    Looks like the only current S/C options for 2006 SRT8 Chargers are Vortech and Procharger. Magnuson won't be released until maybe end of this year. What about SMS???,,anyone have one of these? I am interested in a complete kit to bolt on with tune.

    Kenne Bell is available. I think Eaton and Whipple are available as well.

    OR, if you want to cut a hole in the hood... ;)

    The best bet for a complete kit with tune from the manufacturer would be Vortech or Procharger. That said, the Magnacharger systems are available and will work on your ride, they just do not have an 06 specific tune yet. But otherwise everything else is available.
    Not sure that the SMS will have a system with tune for an 06 avail either.

    On another note, if you are looking to go Vortech we have an absolutely rediculous sale running through Aug 6th. If you want to look at other options feel free to ask any ?'s and we will be happy to answer them. We sell or have worked on just about every system out there for our cars.

    I know what Im waiting for but you cant go wrong with Vortech for the price and support from many who have installed them is a great bang for the buck.

    They use a Harrop S/C which uses the Eaton TVS internals, as does Magnacharger. However there is no actual Eaton system.

    Thanks for the replies everyone. What about the Kenne Belle? I talke to a guy at their factory and its available too. Anyone have any experience with their unit?

    SRT8U,
    Is the procharger quieter with the helical gears. Their website claims they are. By quieter I mean does the helical gears cut down on the clatter at idle. I like the whine but I don't care for the cheap sounding gear noise.

    Aren't the Magnacharger kits CARB certified?
    I bet this system will be the most advanced as of yet as far as driveability and power out the box bolt on kit.

    Yes if you want the canned tune from Magnacharger that is true, otherwise the system will work fine on 05-10 6.1L cars, all you would need is a tune, which we could help you with if you didn't have someone local.

    I'm pretty sure he has someone local. :)

    Are you guys tuning now? Our chassis Dyno has helped us a lot! We have a DynoDynamics 450DS. Which Dyno did y'all choose?

    I was eluding to if it's CARB certified, it should have very good driving behavior out the box with their tune. Seems to me (and maybe i'm wrong) but other systems have issues with drivability and need extensive custom tuning to run right. At least this is my perception.
