Dodge Challenger 5.7L HEMI Tuning
Dodge Challenger 5.7L HEMI Remote Custom Tuning with HP Tuners
N2 Speed builds custom HP Tuners calibrations for the Dodge Challenger 5.7L HEMI and its 5.7L HEMI V8 — remotely, so your Challenger never has to sit on someone else's dyno for a week. Every file is written for your specific combination of modifications, fuel and driving use. We do not resell generic canned maps.
Tuning is handled by email and data log review: you send us your stock file and vehicle details, we build the calibration, you flash it with your HP Tuners interface, then we refine it from your logs until the 5.7L is exactly where it should be.
Dodge Challenger 5.7L HEMI Coverage
- 2009-2014 Challenger R/T 5.7 — 372-375 hp, W5A580 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual
- 2015-2023 Challenger R/T 5.7 — 375 hp, ZF8HP 8-speed automatic or 6-speed manual

HP Tuners Credits for the Dodge Challenger 5.7L HEMI
Total Credits Needed
Credits are how HP Tuners licenses each vehicle. They load onto your MPVI4 and are spent once, the first time the module is read. Adding transmission tuning means a second module is licensed, so the credit total goes up — the options above already include both.
- Engine Only — 2009-2023: 2 Universal Credits
- Engine and Transmission — 2015-2023 ZF8HP 8-speed: 6 Universal Credits
Manual transmission? There is no transmission control module to calibrate, so choose Engine Only and select not applicable under Transmission Tuning.
Credit requirements are set by HP Tuners and can change with model year. If your car is not listed exactly, send your VIN to sales@n2speed.com and we will confirm before you buy anything.
What Every Tune Includes
- A custom calibration written for your 5.7L HEMI V8, modifications and fuel
- Optimized fuel, spark and torque management tables
- Transmission shift strategy adjustments where applicable
- Revisions after data log review until the vehicle runs correctly
- Optional MDS cylinder deactivation removal, speed limiter removal and drive mode adjustments

What You Need Before You Order

How Remote Tuning Works
- Order your stage. Pick the package that matches your build.
- Send your information. Email your VIN, mod list, fuel type and stock read to sales@n2speed.com.
- Flash the file. We email your calibration, normally within 1-2 business days.
- Log and refine. Send data logs; we revise until the 5.7L is dialed in.
Revision turnaround: Revisions are done in the order they are received during business hours. Set time frames are available with notice. After-hours and weekend revisions are done when available.
Locked Challenger PCMs
Stellantis locks the PCM on 2015 and newer Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and RAM vehicles against aftermarket writing. If your Challenger cannot be flashed through the OBD-II port, we handle it with our mail-in Dodge, RAM & Jeep PCM unlock service, and we also offer Dodge PCM bench tuning service for modules that need to be written on the bench. Send your VIN and we will confirm which route yours needs before you spend anything.

How much horsepower will a tune add to my Dodge Challenger 5.7L HEMI?
On 93 octane a Stage 1 calibration typically returns 20-30 hp and 25-35 lb-ft at the crank on 93 octane. Stage 2 builds see 60-110 hp depending on the cam and cylinder head package, and Stage 3 builds see 120-250+ hp depending on blower or turbo choice, boost level and fuel. Actual results depend on your modifications, fuel quality, altitude and ambient temperature.
Do I need to unlock my PCM before tuning?
2015 and newer Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and RAM vehicles need our mail-in Dodge, RAM & Jeep PCM unlock service before HP Tuners can write to the PCM. Earlier models flash straight through the OBD-II port. Send us your VIN and we will tell you which path yours needs.
How many HP Tuners credits do I need?
- Engine Only — 2009-2023: 2 Universal Credits
- Engine and Transmission — 2015-2023 ZF8HP 8-speed: 6 Universal Credits
What equipment do I need for remote tuning?
An HP Tuners interface — we recommend the HP Tuners MPVI4 with Pro Feature Set — the credits for your vehicle, a Windows laptop with VCM Suite installed, and an internet connection. A wideband air/fuel gauge is recommended for Stage 2 and required for Stage 3. You can add the interface and credits to your order.
How long does the tuning process take?
Your first calibration is normally emailed within 1-2 business days of us receiving your vehicle information and stock file. Revisions are done in the order they are received during business hours. Set time frames are available with notice. After-hours and weekend revisions are done when available.
Can you tune a completely stock Dodge Challenger 5.7L HEMI?
Yes. A stock 5.7L HEMI V8 still leaves power, throttle response and transmission behaviour on the table. Stage 1 is designed exactly for stock and lightly modified vehicles.
Will a custom tune affect my factory warranty?
Modifying the factory calibration can affect powertrain warranty coverage. We recommend returning to the stock file before any dealer visit. Full terms appear on each product page.
