From the 2023 PRI show

To be honest I wasn't around when Chrysler or Dodge hit the market. So I don't know what the comparative pricing was back then. But I do think that Chevy stuff has always out sold everything else. So I'm guessing that it always would have been cheaper. The pricing dosen't effect me. I've always liked working on, driving and racing mopar stuff. It's really not that much more for the Mopar stuff. If you buy the good stuff instead of the cheapest stuff you can get.
Oh yeah, I've always been a Mopar guy myself but I work in a machine shop and see the other guys prices and multiple variations of parts. It just kinda pisses me off, but that's my fault anyways for being a hundrednaire. But if I could buy everything I want then I would not be a true hotrodder. (No offense to anyone meant in that comment)
