Considering the price that companies like BMW and Mercedes charges for a basic long block of a standard 4 cylinder non performance variant engine, the Hellcrate engine seem insanely well priced.
This is an awesome video. But for anyone who hasn't driven one of these vehicles, you HAVE TO to understand how good they are. I own a TRX and every time I drive it think "What a stupid amazing truck this is". The fact that Stellantis has the balls to make vehicles like these is amazing. But get them while you can.... I don't suspect they'll be around much longer.
The engineering for the Hemi engines specifically 6.2 and 6.4 V8’s are very cool. Even with the new 2.0, 3.0, SRT10, and motors from the Italian brands are very fascinating to learn.
@@sirhamalot110 if you remember you should come back to the comment section, I’d love to turn my 5.7 into a 6.2 if possible instead of buying a hellcat engine/ trans and swap
Excellent job and breakdown. Everything from the cam to the intake valves. I do wonder if there is a piston difference. The 5.7 Hemi obviously uses a different piston.
Great video very informative !!! I leaned a lot hopefully I will be able to order a new challenger soon now I might go for a Hellcat Widebody now that I know there is not much of a difference unless you track the cars and I don't
Wait, so the hellcat has a more aggressive cam than than the Higher output? Does this mean that you can swap a hellcat cam into a Redeye/demon/SS and make more power? 🧐
Charger SRT Jailbreak is my dream car. My savings are almost at 20k. A lot of that is going to be used to pay my down payment. Gonna need to put a huge sum down in order for my life with the car to be easy.
Lots of information here, thanx for doing the research! I have read elsewhere that the Hellcat cam specs for duration (Intake/Exhaust) are 215/221 @.050". 278/304 seems fairly radical. The Redeye was 224/240 @.050". Thoughts?
It's funny that a company boasting about more power was focused more on the supercharged engines rather than the 5.7 or 6.4 to rebuild em, or replace em with a better, lighter, bigger sized engine - especially the 5.7
You can only do so much to a engine before you need use power adders or have a major redesign in that engine. Which is gonna raise the cost to the end user. If a customer really needs that much more power you can modify. Which gives people flexabilty with out having to increase the cost to everyone. Plus over the years the 6.4 has had changes to bump the horsepower from 470 to 485 over the years with updats as well
@@kingtyty5 uea but to the max. That's why they had to purposely detune the 5.7 helicopter to give it the proper power spacing to justify the price of the 6.4. Dodge couldve made a NA high compression aluminum 7L hemi from the hellephant to replace the 6.4. Because that engine along with the 5.7L is the cash cow for dodge
Any idea if the Demon crate ECU works on the RE/SS/JB cars? Im thinking that the gauge cluster would need to be swapped out for a Demon one, this to keep things using stock parts. Of course, the stage kits (whenever they come out) would be a better route to take for cars like a Super Stock
Another awsome Mopar video! 👍 This might sound a little silly but I kinda wish Chrysler would've put MDS on the hellcats and redeyes, it still would've helped with fuel economy and fines from the EPA.
For the extra money of the redeye you can put into the aftermarket for the hellcat .. it’s not worth it when you can get a GT500 for the same money and it’s considerably faster and overall better handling.. only reason to buy a challenger red eye is for the love of the car at this point but if you want a better car the charger is more car ..
Do you just make things up and then post it? 🤣 every comment you make is BS. The front inlet hole was created with the first gen hellcat and has always been on the regular hellcat. The redeye and superstock have 2. The hellcat has 1 the other is fake 🤯 do your research
