And the Kleenman kit has no proven history on a stock 3.2, I have not heard of anyone who's done the conversion yet. And who knows how much they're gonna rape you for it. $12-15K is probably a realistic number with them.
If you go with a small centrifugal system, the price is much lower, but there are some obstacles to get through before going this route. Such as building a new intake manifold, mounting brackets, larger injectors, fuel pump and a new timing map.
Interesting...I did contact the Kleemann USA rep and was told the low boost kit was $6,500 and a certified dealer could to the install for $500. 7K is substantially less than 12k and for +65 HP ($100 per horse) this route seems to be the best bang for the buck. Of course with no one to vouch for this particular mod it's the 'bang' I'm concerned about.
If the pricing is correct the mod could be done for less (not much) than a decently loaded SRT6. Most importantly (for my selection of a two seat sports car) I refuse to drive an automatic, and I doubt dropping a manual transmission in an SRT6 would cost less than making this mod to a 6 speed Limited. If I were going to drop 35k for an automatic I'd go for an LX with the 5.7 Hemi or spend 40K for an SRT8 charger (plus get two extra doors and a seat).
