Friend of ours has a 5.7 Hemi Charger and just added a 6.1 Challenger to his stable. Would like to know what are the best add ons for the buck?

The best bang for the buck and performance would be a cam swap and a Diablo tune. The stock 6.1 head flows 300 cfm at 600" lift right from the factory. Once we swapped out a set of stock 6.1 heads for a set of ported 5.7 heads with larger valves that flowed 320 cfm at 600" lift and then epoxy matched the 6.1 intake to the 5.7 port. The port velocity on a 6.1 head is pretty lazy. We seen about 300 fps on the 6.1 compared to 340 fps from the 5.7. After the head swap (stock cam) the car ran 3 tenths faster and picked up 4 mph.
