Didn't they use to do something on the new Hemi's with an extra injector or something when they went forced induction, since tuning was non-existent? I'd imagine they would have tried that in this case if it would have worked, though.

Yes its called a piggy back set up. Worthless, well at least it was with our cars. Tons of blown motors...

Is it easier to tune the Hemi's now?

Looks like a custom standalone EMS with conventional injection.

Thats a lot of $$$$ and a major pain in the ***.

I considered an isf, but questioned the moddability of that platform and how well the trans would hold up to more power. I'm sure an 8 speed dual clutch trans isn't cheap

Just skimmed that thread and they gave up on the turbo since it only made 400rwhp. Ditched the turbo for an M112 blower.
