Hellcat POWER in 5.7L 

The 5.7L with the right upgrades can make some serious power!

5.7 is such a underdog and anyone with a 5.7 putting in work is letting these other v8s know WE ARE HERE!!

This started as my first project car and it’s been a blast working with Jannety for almost 3 years now. Thanks R/T Life for all the support and encouragement!! 👍

My 1998 5.7 LS1 is currently making 846 hp with a DX1 supercharger with 16 lbs boost on a mustang dyno. I have seen many vettes with well over 1100 hp that are max builds. The 5.7 is no underdog.

The 5.7 has always made good power; it unfortunately gets overlooked due to the 6.4 being in everything, and the mass-production of a 700+ hp HEMI also available in a wide variety of car/trucks. But let's go back a bit- to 2003... The 5.7 HEMI WAS Chrysler's new baby, and had the bench racers pulling their hair out with all the rumors of it being used in CARS; not just the trucks that it launched with... We couldn't really imagine it yet- the Intrepid was the direction Chrysler had been going in for a decade; something had to seriously change if the 5.7 HEMI was to be used in a CAR. The rest is history, and honestly- what a ride it has been!!

5.7 is a excellent platform to build up on! Appreciate the veiw Bud!

5.7L was always a great displacement block. Great video👍🏼

Love the chop chop sound of that cam

That has given me food for thought. My Hemi is a daily but I take to the strip in good weather so just forging the 5.7 and supercharging now sounds like a good plan when on a budget.

Pete has it going on! I'm impressed with all his builds. Since I have a 5.7, it's awesome to see those numbers! I just wished I knew of a shop that was as awesome as Jannetty!

I’m a Mustang guy, I’m on my 9th Mustang 2020, but I’m getting a Wide Body 392 soon. I don’t understand why the hate toward Hemis. I would get a Challenger everyday before a Camaro

This weekend I will be putting my first cosmetic mods on my 2019 5.7. Wicker bill , rear diffuser and some other small stuff. This is exactly the kinda power I want my 5.7 to have some day. Thanks R/T life and modern red hemi for putting out all the great content.

Unfortunately I lost my RT last week in an accident. The content makes me take my mind off of it because I'm always looking to drive my car but things happen. Keep up the work!

Damn that 5.7 is pretty cool but that scat of his wow!

That 5.7 with cam, throttle body and 10 pounds of boost is making the same power and torque numbers as the 2015 Hellcat.

The way it sounds omg I love it

That cold start sounds wicked

Definitely some interesting information about the 5.7 ..It’s amazing how many subscribers you got Over the years ...you’ll have 100,000 for sure 💯👍

Love the 5.7 content 😂 he beat me to the punch but it’s coming...

I just got the Diablo i3 for my 2010 charger R/T thank you so much for all the videos. This is a real hemi and mopar family on this channel.

Was going to do this to our 2015 Grand Cherokee High Altitude 5.7. Said screw it and bought a 2018 Trackhawk lol. The 5.7 was a blast!

I’m telling you ,people sleeping on the 5.7 😤

Your videos are VERY clear, concise and simple to understand. I believe that's why your channel is growing because the information your giving is comprehended by advanced mechanics and beginner car gurus. Good shit brother!

Awesome 5.7 💯💯

That 5.7 sounds Mean,and that chop omg 😲

Size doesn’t always make a difference.that cam loping is sweet music to my ears. American mussel. 🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪

As a mopar tech let me tell ya we fucking love these motors easy to work on "reliable" to an extent and plenty of room for mods this is a perfect example of that lol I'm currently helping my buddy build a 5.7 for his single cab short bed 2010 ram

Wow! Didn’t expect those #s

My little 5.7 hemi in my 300c is a bloody cracker with the basic mods that I've done so far, I'm well chuffed

Dude you bring some of the best info on these Mopars hands down 👍🏼

Hellcat power for 392 money good trade off

Love all your content, very informative!!! Gonna start doing work on my 2006 300C SRT soon.

Love this seeing a 5.7 upgraded , I have 2012 6.4 393 Hemi is there a similar way of getting to 707BHP This is Serious Mopar Addictiveness 😎

Always great info on building a 5.7. Every time you make a video I'm always watching it when I'm on break in my truck. Sometimes more than once. Keep up the good work

When you started that baby up my table was shaking... That set up sounds great~ and iv'e been around a lot of 5.7 cars 🦖

I love seeing these builds and that I got my own 5.7 at the end of last year I'm itching build on it too.

Freakin awesome the 5.7 is a cool build for the street

That idle is amazing!

Im building my 5.7 right now and that camshaft is looking mighty fine right now haha

I will be following a similar route with my 5.7 build

The 5.7 has become a forgotten platform since now the scat pack 6.4 is the preferred engine. The 5.7 is a sleeper pick and can make tons pf power with a cheaper price of admission. The 6.1 srt motors are another forgotten sleeper.

This is a cool build, I love that it looks like a stock R/T on the outside! I was seriously considering the E Force for the Daytona if I had kept it. Congrats on the 89K subs, you will be at 100K soon.

Yes the 5.7 gets a bad rap sometimes but I luv how you can build on it and basically make it what you want. Nice video🔥

Why would people thumbs down a video like this? Great Info Fella‼️🗣️💯🔥

been watching for about a year, i'm just now subbing lol.

I would take that R/T with no questions asked💯🏁💯🏁

The 5.7 has that ideal efficiency because of its size. They are easier to rev, easier to make rev higher, lighter (sometimes), have the torque a smaller displacement v8 doesnt have and again easy to be efficient on fuel. Obviously stroking or boring is going to change all that but even so they started like this. I wouldnt be surprised if you could build a 550 or even a 600 hp NA 5.7 hemi. Theres an old 340 mopar that this guy built and was making around 600 hp NA. And thats an old motor, it was stroked but either way it was quick. Not ideal for the street though compared to a new hemi

That’s a sweet ride 😎👍

Soon as I seen the Blasius sticker I knew you was in CT... shout out to yall from waterbury ❤

Hey buddy i appreciate ya putting on for us… Much love ❤️ and respect 🫡!!!

biggest thing is being able to put that power down. people think "oh I'll make big power" but not "one rip and I'll blow my trans." The NAG1 is a beast but you'll have to upgrade the valve body and clutch packs for anything over 500hp

Anyone that says he shoulda bought this or that should be hung from a yard arm. What an amazing build this is as well. Those are exactly Hellcat WHP numbers. Simple amazing. I was more surprised going with Edelbrock. I just didn't think they had the technology in the forced air market. Basically doubling the HP with forging and blower. Not bad. Maybe 20K investment. Maybe more. But certainly a sleeper and straight up bad ass. Well done Peter, well done.

Its like how ppl get a Chevy Silverado and it has a 4.3 v6 and they automatically charge it out for a v8 and u don’t have to bc u can get v8 power out of it with no problem and that motor is reliable for the hp and it can take it

This is one bad to the bone RT Challenger there RT.

I loved my 5.7 but I love my hellcat even more.

Of course us guys want to go balls to the wall with our 5.7s but sometimes our wife's and bank accounts say otherwise 😂 sick build though man! I just switched from shorty aftermarket header to Kooks long tubes. I'm trying to slowly build mine up as well little by little.. Watch your Vids all the time! Keep em coming!

Congrats on the subs...I remember when you were asking for 3000!

I gives the thumbs up every episode!

Sound real good.

Hey R/T life I'm dynoing my car this Sunday. 2010 R/T 6 speed with 392cam, long tubes, and Magnuson 2300 on 6psi, switching to 8psi next week. Also gonna run meth, the goal is 600whp on stock block reliably

Been waiting on this update lol

Now that someone has built their own camless system and is making it open source i think boosted small V8's will be seeing some awesome changes in the next few years. If only Dodge & dealerships would stop w/ the price gouging.

His Scat Pack is a monster

Everyone hates on 5.7’s not knowing their a good platform to build on you can make any engine make good power if you know what your doing

Good info my buddies will love this

Just put turbo on 5.7 twin turbo even better and you have 900bhp with reliability not seen before on this power level. Done many times in Scandinavia,Russia.

I've got a hp103 going in my 5.7 this week. Can't afford a supercharger like this, but even just with a cammed racing engine im looking forward to driving her once she's done. With no boost im likely looking at around 400-410 once its installed and tuned.

Hey R/T look forward to getting out to a car show soon. Spoke with EastCoastSrt about you guys putting something together Long Island area.

WoW great info, I gotta get this done to my 2018 RT challenger

I am glad I don't, I am a old man. I do like the Eldebrock intake...

DONT FORGET STREET DRAG SETUP FOR HEMI'S!!

"Easy? You call that easy?" -Han Solo

First off, I gotta point out: "Peters build", lol Peter built. I deal with large engines everyday, cut me some slack, lol. But man, I love these videos! Seeing this makes me happy knowing what this smaller displacement can do! Great stuff Bro!

Definitely worth buying a 392 over a 5.7 if power is all you want. Lots of drawbacks though. The r/t is the better daily driver. The 393 is just too heavy to compete with other similarly priced gm or Ford cars. The torque is fun though.

I like how he's got stock wheels and stock air box etc. Imagine rolling up on this thing thinking its stock 🤯

5.7 love is here

Just got my R/T last week it’s a 2019 and I absolutely love it I’ve done cosmetic things to it for the most part I’m just still trying to figure out what set up I wanna do before I do anything to the engine

Just saw a video of 5.7 swapped 80’s dakota that was TT puttin down almost 900whp on 91 octane and a stock bottom end. I was shocked.

Great videos keep them coming!

I stopped watching you because I thought this pandemic was going to take me out financially. Depressing!!! But I worked something out to keep my Challenger, so I can keep it and save for mods. Black Panther is mine now.

Goals. Just got my Challenger PLUS RT Shaker.

the car scene has changed so much over the last 20 years,social media plays a huge part in that,there are so many people who become internet experts on every topic known to man,cars are no different,Ford guys ,mopar guys,not sure if there are still Chevy guys lol..seems like everyone has shit to talk and 99.% of the guys talking it can’t back it up,I also see a lot of people who let other tell them what they should like or what they should or shouldn’t do to they’re own cars,one of the main ones I see is people telling guys with R/Ts to get a scat pack,for the life of me I can’t understand why??my 1st car was a stock 68 mustang coupe I bought in 1991 ,by the time I graduated high school it was running high 12s on motor to me back then it was a rocket lol.I’ve had 4 mustangs since,to me there is no better looking car then a challenger,new or old that’s just me.I also love the chargers,I have an 09 R/T and I just bought a 2012 challenger R/T,I love them,mustangs just don’t have that muscle car look or feel to me anymore but to each they’re own,I’m content with what I want..if I want a hell cat I’ll go buy a hellcat,if I wanted a mustang I’d buy one,I do want a Demon so in the mean time I am more than happy with my R/Ts,the charger is up for sale,once that’s sold I’ll do some cool stuff to the challenger ,

8spd swap is now available from @Sound German Automotive now too :) love for the 5-6spds that need a desperate upgrade.

Yess you've done it. Beautiful. I wondering if I can do this to my rt durango

Sweet Connecticut reppin ✅️👍👍

I need to take a ride back to Connecticut lolol

Wow thats one awesome build geez I'm just trying to see 400hp lol good vid bro 👍👍

Wow, those are stock hellcat numbers. Nice!!!

So we're talking just drop in pistons? No need to upgrade the crankshaft to get 700hp Either way, it's quite impressive that the 5.7 can make that kind of power without being stroked

See with Stellantis killing the 6.4 and 6.2 I think the 5.7 hellcat motors they will end up building may be ok after seeing this

Wait till I get this raise I'm putting some serious work in my 5.7 charger.

Can we get more info about those 5.8 V8s??? What are the differences between 5.7 & 5.8? And what mods do they use? Great vid as always

My "new" 2006 Magnum RT's 5.7 is ready. Pretty the gas mileage will improve...

Makes me want to do some more work on my ram 1500 haha no need to be super fast just more Tim the tool man feel

Would definitely like to do something like this one day in my 5.7 hemi D150 swap project

Can I have the build list on this rt I’d love to push that much out of my rt

A used mid 2000's r/t will run you around the same price as a 5th gen ss and a brand new one will run you around the same as a gt or ss. I think if the cars these motors came in were in a more appropriate price bracket they'd get more love

Wow that’s all i can say wow

Man i love my 5.7 but the engine problems are just a headache!! But luckily its still under warranty looking to do a rebuild after the warranty tho

I seriously have to do something with my TA!!!! Seriously
