I own a 2016 Ram Sport 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi engine, I have put only 9,000 miles on the engine since new 3 years ago. I what to increase the HP from the stock factory rating of 395 to 500. The truck is a pure street cruiser. Just looking for some extra power when passing or getting onto the interstate. I was thinking of installing a Supercharger. Does anyone have any recommendations? I live in California so any mods need to be emission legal. Thanks for any advice.

I’d go with a centrifugal, comes on easy (no big boost at low rpms so it’d help keep you out of detonation)

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking of installing an ATI Procharger. Anyone have comments on this brand? Thank you.

Just grab a 6.4 SRT engine and bolt it in, sell your 5.7 engine to recover some of the cost. They are underated at 485 HP already and your truck intake bolts on and is better than the 6.4 SRT intake. It will look totally stock under the hood if you paint the block black, the only way an emmisions inspector will know is if he is well versed in Hemi speak. The later 6.4 SRT uses the BGE block and is just a tad different on the outside of the block, the earlier ones are very hard to tell the difference. You can find them fairly easy around $5000 and sell yours for $1500-$2000 and well you see where I am going with this... I doubt your going to get much of a supercharger for $3500

The 6.4 will give you exactly what you want without any of the worries associated with the blower. Do not let the 485 rating steer you away, it will make your truck boogie.

Thank you all for your responses. The procharger is not legal on a 2016 ram truck.So I should buy a Mopar Performance 6.4 crate engine then swap on my 5.7 intake. Is this correct? Thank you.

If you mean a 6.4 SRT crate engine then yes, I don't know what a long block costs these days but it might not be as bad as you think. I would not think the Mopar Performance crate engine would be built to be friendly with a stock confuser like the SRT replacement engine would. If it were mine I would just buy a low miles take out engine from fleabay.

If I put a 6.4 SRT engine in the truck I assume the engine controller will need to be recalibrated. Has anyone done this swap?
