I can't seem to find one. Whipple apparently makes one but you can't buy it. If I had the hard cash now, would I be able to buy a Super Charger for the current 5.7L Hemi?
What's the deal here?

The last I knew no one has a SC available for the Hemi. Everyone is working on it,but until someone cracks the PCM codes that DC has placed in our trucks we are $hit out of luck!

Man that sucks. The engine has been out for 2 years now and no SC. Quite surprising actually given the number of vehicles it's now in Ram, Magnum, 300C and Durango. I read somewhere that 50% of new dodge vehicles where da Hemi in a option (listed below) is picked / built by Dodge.
The demand for the engine is exceptional.
Will sombody please kick the S/C developers and tell them to get on it! :)
Thanks for the reply.

Ken Belle is working on one. They couldn't crack the 2003 5.7, so, they have moved onto the 2004 5.7 hemi. I believe they are trying to produce one for the Magnum, 300c and the 2004 Durango.

I just find it hard to believe they're gonna get the code for the 04 crakced if they can't get it cracked for the 03... especially since they upgraded the computer.

Here's the word directly from Kenne Bell... "Due to calibration difficulties, the introduction of this kit has been delayed. UPDATE: Kenne Bell will not offer a supercharger kit for the '03 Hemi. In our opinion, the '03 ECM prohibits the use of any supercharger kit - at least to Kenne Bell standards. We are, however, working hard on the '04 Hemi trucks. If we are successful, then we will look at the Magnum, Durango and the 300."

Thanks Bubba for the update. Just think, it will be out just in time for the 5.7L dodge charger! I was reading on the GTO board on this. A guy who was buying a new GTO had the dealer buy and install a Magnacharger for is GOAT, install and warranty it. The cool part is they made it part of his loan and he just financed it along with the entire car. Cost him nothing out of pocket.
Cool idea huh? I thought about this for the Charger when it comes out. Would add about $5K to the loan, but warrantied and everything!
Sure hope it's possible with a Dodge.

You could call "ProCharger" and see if they have one in the works.
