RE have 3.09's? I too went from a '16 HC to a RE. the 3.09's make most of the diff imo. Big difference.

I’d love to upgrade my 717 hp WB HC gear to 3.09 but I heard some cars don’t respond as well if you had it done when the car was built.
But I am gonna pulley it and dyno tune. So the 2.62 gear is good enough. I think

My 18 Charger has the 3.09. I put it in with the stock tune along with the diff brace. Car picked up .2.

Was that before the stupid catalytic converter recall or whatever?

There’s no recall on the newer ones.

3.09s are a tenth. I never noticed a difference driving the car. My 2.62 are back in now

3.09 is useless in high HP applications, first gear is so short that most launch in second gear.

Not a fan of the 3.09 unless at a drag strip.

Makes a very responsive machine on tracks also. It is a blast on the street. I have owned both and like the 3.09 in the RE.
