Yeah, that's awesome. :thumbsup:Love the different colored key fob option to unlock beast mode.
Why? Just why? That takes all the fun out of doing the work yourself. I'd have a much greater appreciation of the car if I made it that fast, but buying it stock with that much power should be reserved for a nicer car than a dodge.
I'm loving the AAR 'Cuda hood scoop.
Tach shows a redline of 5600 rpm. Not much for revs this beast.
Yea, I saw that too, it is a pushrod motor when all is said, it's OK, I have one but GM re-named it for me, it's now called "cam in block" technology.
Did some research on this. Dodge puts the tach redline 200 rpm below the engine redline. Still I don't know why it is so low. The supercharged lsa chev has the same redline as the LS3, so does the Mustang offerings. The 392 has the same redline as the chev, 6200.
The massive valves are the limiting factor for the chev engines, I can't find any info about the valve sizes in the Hellcat.
One would think that this type of high performance engine would have more than 2 valves per cylinder but IDK either..
700+ on the dyno
Only 400 usable on the street.
200hp after safety nannies kick in
100hp usable in front of cop\speed camera.
This is a car made for men to impress other men and drag strips and parking lots.
I still approve.
Why exactly? Or have you bought in to the "herp derp pushrods suck" hype? The produce different characteristics, but certainly aren't inferior. You get less power per liter of displacement (which is an utterly meaningless metric unless you buy insurance in one of the backwards countries that bases it on displacement). You (typically, but not necessarily. LT1 seems to do ok mileagewise) get worse mileage. You typically get more power and torque in a given physical volume as well as a lighter, lower center of gravity engine.
It's all about what is important for a given application, but frankly, pretending that an OHV engine is automatically inferior to an OHC engine is pure ignorance.
Yikes. Does it come stock with drag radials to make an attempt at traction?
