I'm planning the same for my '09 R/T. Mine is going to SpeedFactory for a Vortech V-3 supercharger, cat-back exhaust and some 6 piston Brembos to slow her down.... SpeedFactory's installation is at 5.5 lbs of boost; they are a Chrysler LLC partner, so you get a 3 year 36000 mile wty on the engine with the installation.... Good luck with yours. Let us know what boost levels and mods you make and what the dyno has to say !!

I'm having mine installed at SpeedFactory; they will supply them. They're expensive, but worthwhile in my opinion. You can buy them from many distributors / retail installers including many local brake shops. Try the Brembo website for a location near you (sorry to sound like a TV ad....but that's the best way to check them out). Also you can Google "high performance brakes" and get on-line info. on discount "dot com" distributors. Most are not yet showing brakes for the R/T, but that should change soon. SpeedFactory is changing out all of my rotors as well....15" up front and (I think) 13" in the rear; all cross-drilled and slotted. The fronts are getting the 6 piston Brembos; the rear brakes will be the factory calipers painted to match the front....Caliper color is silver w/ red lettering in my case to work with the Inferno Red Crystal Pearl paint.

Don,
Congrats man! I'm in St. Louis and I'd be glad to drive to KC to test drive the car after the install (or steal it), lol.
I've heard from a good engine builder friend that the '09 5.7 has improved pistons over the previous 5.7s.
The top ringland is now 'lower' and will be better for boost.
You're in great hands with Procharger, they will likely make the kit for stock internals about 5 or 6 lbs of boost.
You'll be able to beat on it with the tune they put on it.
