Thank you Soultrain ..
Great info, thanks
Hey buddy thank you.. your channel is rocking right now! Keep up the solid work 🤜🔥🔥
Awesome video thanx. Im new to Hellcats and u do a great job schooling me.
Thanks for all that knowledge, one of my fav channel. I need that set up in my life 😀
Moe Yo .. no worries brother 🤜
The Hellcats IMO ,is just a great platform ,Stock there an amazing car, Basic modded hellcats run like raped apes,and the heavily modified cats are absolute beasts....I personally feel it's the best platform out there
Frankie 072 .. I agree with you 100% 👍
I agree 1 day mine will be that beast!!
@@RacerX94yrs ago you thought that,but now you prefer twin turbo mustang 😂
@@RacerX9 which version of the k&n drop in filter did you use when you did this, the non oiled version or the oiled version?
Hey that makes so much sense, great review 👌🙌
Consistency when racing through the brackets wins trophies and $$$$. Awesome video---thanks for the great information
ShelbyDude1 .. no worries my friend. I appreciate the support
Great info!! Lot a good stuff that people can’t explain good
Simply bad-ass. Thanks for all that info!
Extremely well done video.
Great video and love the car!
I like that your cars never break. Good job
Never say never lol
Great information! Great video
Very Informative Info! This helps me in immensely! I’ve heard in the Hellcat forum that 15 lbs was the most you want to spin a Stock Blower so I kept on wondering about a Reliable setup Up! I’ve done all the Suspension upgrades.Dss 1 pcs, Axles,AAD performance Suspension,Demon Springs Too. Now I’ve been wondering on a Reliable Tune and you helped me in my decision. Also, I’ve been on the fence with Ice Box or Killer chiller...🤔. You have Answered it all! Thnx Mr X 👍💪🏼😎
Awesome Reuben.. glad to help my friend 👍.. can’t wait to see all the good stuff going on that beast
Love your videos very informational and your charger is a beast love it
I appreciate that Vincent 🤜
Really like what you said so very true you have great performance with reliability pushing the envelope but not over love watching you and MISSES X
nasa peterbilt .. thank you my friend 🤜
Excellent video once again. Very useful info, thanks for sharing....
B5_blue SRT .. No worries my man! Glad to do it 👍
Awesome and very informative information. Awesome job
Thank you my friend
Thank you so much. I'm picking up my 1st hellcat later this year and it's going to be my 1st modded car I've been doing tons of research and learned a lot from you thank you for making these
No worries James.. 👍
Very informative fantastic video!
Just got a 16 hellcat challenger and was searching high and low for an honest direction to take my car going thru your videos helped big time, keep up the great videos.
Luv the vids ,the only mod I want for my h/c now is no payment title in my hands,guess I’ll live thru you and that’s fine,enjoy your ride!!
Nice vid buddy! Now I know what to do if/whenever I get my Hellcat ...😉
Absolutely buddy 👍.. if you ever get one it’s gonna be game over 🤜
Bad Ass Cat, Great video.
Thank you LAlvz 345..
I like that the bikes are hung over the car where the kids can’t get to them. Unless they use the car as a ladder. 🥴 that’s the kind of kid i was. Great informative video. It will save me thousands. Great job. New subscriber. Best of luck.
Keep up the good videos. You will be big one day!!!
Thank you Michael 👍
Thanks for the info good vid.
this was a great video
I just got a 2019 hellcat charger I'm so happy with it still learning the paddles on it.
I remember the first day I got mine These beast are scary then you get the hang of it
@@jrrodriguez1910 im about to get one its now or never before they are gone…..Do you think prices will start to rise on used cats the closer we get to final expiration date in about 2 years or less personally i think cats will start to hold their value or possibly even appreciate a bit or worst case they wont depreciate as much
Brilliant man thanks a bunch!!!
No worries Jim 🤜
Power goals!!! For sure love the content keep it coming 🔥🔥🔥 #300gangOG #MOPARNOCAR
Thank you BadHemi 300s 🤜.. looks like your channel is cranking as well
@@RacerX9 thanks alot sir I got something up my sleeve aka more power 😱🤯😈
Hell yea.. looking forward to checking that out!
Excellent job! very informative thanks for sharing.
zflyzone .. no worries brother.. I appreciate it
oh man a bad ass setup
abdullah .. thank you my friend
great video and great information. I love how you consider the health of the engine and not overdoing it!
GREAT VIDEO 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Great video !! I think your setup is perfect for that car and could be for any hellcat .. consistency is what wins and reliability is keeps you there 👍🏻😎
Thank you J B.. it seems to be working well for me 🤜
Another great video, thanks for the info.
MD Muscle 🤜🔥🔥
@@RacerX9 I want to see what my redeye can do at the track stock, then I may add some mods.
Absolutely.. get a baseline so you can see the performance gains .. those red eyes are amazing cars 👍
Excellent advice. I’m definitely going 2.85 upper only and run 10.3 - 10.5 all day long without creating a deep rabbit hole.
I run 10.5 with just a tune and a tire. 10.3 is hella reasonable 👍
Awesome video!
Thank you Marion 👍
RacerX is a great UA-camr. Very articulate and gets to the point quickly while being entertaining. I have almost his pulley set up just need to go to 2.75 as i already have the Ati 10% and Metco 2.85. Then I just need to go E85 and I already have the 1200cc injectors ready. I think he would benefit with a different intake either Legmaker or like intake. They do make power on lesser powered 'Cats so should help his. We also need a way to upgrade factory fuel rail crossover. Boostapump is great if done correctly and actually more powerful than a dual pump on flow bench at factory voltages. Several people now run dual pump with Boostapumps now we are talking massive fuel flow capabilities. My Hellcat Challenger is a manual and Im currently at 17lbs boost on 93 Oct with a couple gallons of e85 added and some Boostane.
Good content and advice.
Thank you my friend
Great video
Absolutely love that you're running stock air filter. Hate the mentality that it's worth more particulates in the intake for +~15 hp. As you said,consistency is definitely the right approach to take when building. Also appreciate your comment about dyno performance not equating to track performance.
I think most people run an aftermarket intake for the whine. I know that’s why I run a bwoody
Hey RacerX ...Great job nice video, do you know if the demon 18" skinnys will fit with the big calipers?
Nice CF parts under the hood! I was think of doing some CF for my Hellcat. Can I ask where you got yours at?
Awesome video! I wanted to ask if you could please link everything you purchased. I plan on going this route
Great info! So with the pulleys I can get the 10% and the 2.75 you mentioned and wouldn’t NEED a tune ? Should I expect more boost with just the pulleys
RACER-X MY MAN another great video keep up the good content 👍👍👍👍👍But on a side note didn't help me out a bit lol😃😃😃. I'm still in love with my 6.1 300 srt-8 old school mussel by today's standards but dear God it sure does get a lot of attention maybe someday
300Srt- 8 .. nothing wrong with that brother.. keep rocking that beast.. as long as it puts a smile on your face that’s what matters 🤜
Brother I sure do miss this car i miss seeing you do vids on it 😢 To me it was the perfect setup for reliability and speed without pushing the other (stock) components Again brother thank you for these great memories 💙
New subscriber!
Awesome fucking vid. You saved me a bit of money. Thanks!!
Another great video. Thank you for the sincere advice. Would you go with a different size pulley on a redeye?
I would do the 2.85 and 10% combo for the redeye
Great info! You've got your car running like a Champ👍👍
Thank you B5 Beast 🤜🔥🔥
I got a hold of Peitz to get some pricing on the Bravo package and they had a throttle body, ported snout, cold air filter, a triple pump system that you don't have. Maybe they should call it something else
Lots of great info here.. thanks for sharing. I shall return once I get my Hellcat :)
I think I'm going to almost mirror your setup. I noticed your in Texas and think I saw where you used Peitz tuning. I'm planning on getting mine done there too. Have you had any issues with the performance or reliability at all?
True stuff true stuff
Brotha this is some great info. I'm not a huge track guy so mine would be mostly stock...but you did give me some minor upgrades I could add while still staying stock.
Awesome Calvin.. hopefully covered a few things that might be useful 👍
What are your suggestions for a 2016 Challenger Hellcat 6 speed manual? I only have 2300 miles on it and have added JLT Oil Catch Can and JLT intake. Currently, I don't plan on many mods for the near future as I do have extended warranty on it, but I'm thinking I will get the urge for a pulley. You mentioned the 2.85 pulley is a great setup. Outside of the 2.85 pulley and belt, and 4" DSS driveshaft, would you recommend anything else besides tune? I want to keep 93 octane and you were talking about the gearing. Manuals have a 3.70 gearing, so would I be good with that? The less I have to do is preferable as I'm trying not to tinker with too much. Trying to keep reliability as high as possible as I want to keep this car for a long time. It was my dream car. (I don't daily drive the Hellcat). I'm not really looking to go to the drag strip for any time goals, but just some fun with the car and to make more horsepower. Is 800 whp possible with the above? Thanks.
Just ordered my 2021 hellcat charger yesterday. I'm so excited. This is my dream car!!!! I've waited my whole life for this lol
Ur whole life how old are u 6
@@rocksteady551 to buy my dream car? Yup waited my whole life for it
Hey brotha new subscriber live the channel wanted to see what you think about doing a 2.75 upper with demon injectors for 93 octane also have a legmaker intake and catch can full stock exhaust?
Your HC is beautiful under the hood. Very tasteful, alot of guys go too crazy. 😊
Perfect
Nice video bud, keep em coming, E85 Fam! Just got my csf cooling mods; charge air cooler, heat exchanger, and dtc cooler. Can’t wait to test at the track after install!!
Awesome Kalvin.. keep me posted on the results brother 🤜🔥🔥
Honestly unless you are spinning the blower faster with just the 2.5 with stock lower I highly doubt the 1 pulley setup to create anymore heat then a smaller upper and larger lower pulley.
Love the car man any idea where you got the stripes would love to throw those on my car looks awesome on the black
727 SRT .. thank you my friend. I used a company in Fort Worth TX called Techniques 👍
Very informative! Would like to know what shop you use, or suggest. I have a 19 hellcat widebody looking to do upgrades and tuning. Shops are everywhere here in Houston but don’t want to just take it to anyone. Would have no problem bringing it DFW area to a trusted shop
Its in the video on the back glass and he also puts it up on the screen.
Your car out runs higher power cars because of setup and balance. Your power level works with the chassis and suspension where some of the higher power cars(closer to 1000rwhp) are fighting the power.
I been trying find a decent blower for my set up i think im going to stick with the 2.7 redeye/Demon blower
Why can’t I have neighbours like this dude?
Just got my 20 wide body charger this helped a lot
Which vid shows killer chiller? I looked,didnt see... love channel!! Car is awesome!!
Here you go my friend ua-cam.com/video/ME_NtGJ8yrk/v-deo.html
coolea video. I saw it today by accident and immediately became aware of it. your valve cover looks exactly like mine. I'm from Germany I bought the Challenger Hellcat 2016 and had this cover made directly from carbon. always cool to see that others have the same ideas.
only time you change the driveshaft & axles is when you’re running over 1000HP or when do you start changing them out ?
Very informative again. You tell it like it is and do it like your buds with everyone. Thanks for the straight-talk. One little observation (being the techy guy that I am) is on your video footage. I like your mounted camera setup in the car but with your hand-held footage, it's really shaky. Get a gimbal stabilizer. It'll really make it smooth while you're hand-holding. They're cheap too if you're using a phone. If there's a way to direct message me, I can give you suggestions which one would work. I've done the research. Thanks bro.
James I appreciate the feedback.. yes I have noticed that as well. I have researched a few of these gimbles and it’s definitely something I need to do
RacerX ya it’ll blow your mind when you see the footage. Day as night. Otherwise keep em coming. I can tell it’s a labor of love.
James Sarantis .. for sure 🤜
I have watched this video 20+ times...gonna copy ur build straight up...have written down all ur mods lol thinkn goin w 2.72 hraiser for upper tho.Any thoughts?
You think engine is safe if I put pulley system, cold air intake, exhaust, and a new driveshaft? I’m not looking for 1,000 horsepower I’m only looking for an extra 75-100 while maintaining the longevity of the engine. Advice please!
I’m running stock air box also, do you remember who did the hydro dip on yours ?
Can you still run pump premium if you have the E85 tune? Also would your mods be too much not a daily driver but one that takes long trips like 1k miles?
One thing I def took from this vid is his car is consistent
It definitely is
If you place a Killer chiller will work as the power chiller?
Cool
Just curious what pressure you are running on your drag radials (both setups - racing) TIA!
Do the 305 Nittos fit without a wheel spacer/offset on the charger? I know there is rubbing issues on the hellcat Challenger
Ok, what about sway bar links do you have to shorten those for them rears?
I may have missed it... who is your tuner of choice? Did you just use the Scat Pack diff or a built one? Lastly, are you using a diff brace or drive shaft loop?
Hey racer x what kind of drive shaft you have cause I'm thinking about running some nitro 888r radials at 20 inch and 305 I would like to hear if any one has done this or just get the tires without the shaft and running on digs thanks
How is it you got your racing stripes to look like it came with the cars paint job?I have racing stripes on my HC but there just stick ons.what set up do you have ?
Might have missed this part…so much info. But I’ve heard people say they’ve spent around 4500-5000 and got to 1000hp in their hellcat. I just bought my first hellcat, I also live in Texas dfw area. So just curious about how much this set up costs?
@racerx did the fuel pump com with 2 pumps or u have to buy separate and do u need fuel rails or just the pumps onky
What do you think of the 2.85 upper and 10% lower? Vs the 2.75 upper and 10% lower?
Straightforward objectivity and sensibility, that is THE reason why we have 8, 9, 10 second 1250hp cars and... they live! The days are much more enjoyable and I am not out building 6 second cars for myself, just customers! Thank you as always, I go back and watch all... KUDO'S brother for keeping it sane, lol
Seth
Thanks for the info .Its rare for a moddifier to even mention pocketbook and reliability . You just told use how to have a 1000 hp drag 👹 that's priceless info. Any tips for someone who wants to road course their Hellcat ? Thanks again
Fiore Tutta .. thank you my friend.. unfortunately I do not do a lot of road course racing but the setup would be significantly different.. I would start with shocks and the tires .. certainly whatever you can do to lighten the car would help 👍
You want to focus on torque gains, weight reductions, brakes, tires and suspension.
what is your weight and how fast have you run with this setup? would this setup work with a redeye Challenger 2019
I have a Redeye does this set up work as efficiently as it does on a regular Hellcat? If not what changes to this set up is required? Thanks
Be like Kevin Van Voris and port the block so you don't have too much oil pressure.
The old ported block technique 😉
Hey Paul I guess Dodge listen to you I finally pulled the plug traded in my scatpack on the new 2019 Hellcat charger comes with the killer chiller line lock and all kinds of other needs stuff. I haven't posted a video of her yet her name is Charlene Lobby putting one up soon going through the break in process and I doubt I will ever see the track but who knows I already know one thing I will see a few Mustangs Camaros Etc right here on the street. Her name is Charlene I really think Dodge watches your videos cuz all the improvements you've made to yours are in the 2019
OLDSCHOOL 392 .. that’s awesome buddy! I hope your loving that new cat 👍.. yes Dodge definitely starting adding some helpful things that they were lacking
What did you do to your exhaust to make that sweet sound?
Good pump and the boostapump is fine. Problem was in wiring the boostapump. Some guys screwed it up. Now it's plug and play. It's not a bandaid as it does what your car does from the factory Boost flow based off voltage. Not hard to understand. Dual pumps are not perfect either. You are trying to get double flow out of the same size orifice. Hard to do
with this setup do you need one or two of the dual fuel pumps? new to hellcats
