This is my 2012 Dodge Challenger 3.6 Pentastar V6. It has Tidalwave Supercharger kit, Vortech V3 head unit. 8 lbs boost. Also, stock motor, transmission, rear end and wheels.

Why is this car so special for you?
This is the car that helped other 3.6 owners get blown!

What is unique about this Dodge Challenger?
This is the worlds first supercharged 3.6 Dodge Challenger, and I bought it in the November of 2013

In what condition was it before and what modifications did you do to it?
The 3.6 Challenger was used 20000 miles. Along with Brent Hughes at Dyno tune performance we installed a Vortech V3 supercharger.
Dynotune. You can see it in this video.

I took a 2 hour flight to pick this car up and a 13 hour drive to get it back home. The car and I connected on that long drive.

I have lived in Virginia Beach Virginia all my life and am the owner of Tidalwave Supercharger. Supercharging the Dodge V6 LX,LC since 2010.

When I'm not supercharging cars, I love to test and tune at Richmond Drag way as I live only two hours away from the track.

Supercharging has been a passion of mine since my first Mustang 5.0 with a Powerdyne blower. I love modding cars and meeting people that share the same passion. My first supercharged Dodge V6 is a 2010 3.5 Challenger and we went from 200 rwhp to 342 rwhp.

When the 3.5 kit first came out I needed a car for an install video. That's when I met Joe Bowman. He is now the proud owner of the worlds fastest LX LC V6 3.5 Challenger.

When the tuning capabilities were released for the 2012 Dodge Challenger 3.6 we went to work designing a kit. I am fortunate enough to know and work with some of the best people in the forced induction market. After many days and long nights we have developed a Dodge Challenger, Charger 3.6 supercharger kit that can reach 415 rwhp and give drivers many years of trouble free driving.
