What isn't limited today?

What was wrong with your supercharger?

The SRT Engineers receive a lot of information from the Track, just like they did before the Hellcat and Demon.:cool:

The knowledge to build a 900 Plus HP Hellcat is well known. I also doubt they will ever go to E85. I don't have a debate about that, other than everyone thought the Demon was going to be able to use E85.

This is not an impossible build when you think about it. There is more knowledge for modifying a 2015 Hellcat than the other years.
They know what they have built and they know about the aftermarket parts that are available.

They can Do This!

I also feel like a trade name "Tomahawk" would go towards a the Jeeps "Trackhawk"

Linda :)

Keep the taxi if it’s the only choice. Deep respect for it but it’s not for me, I am going for same predictions on both platforms. Charger and Challenger flex 6.2 not 426 but the 3.0 IHI blower puller ratio ? TBD. It’s their last stand on max power ICE only propulsion. I think they are going to make a closing statement to the the industry. Unfortunately it will instigate ass hurt ADM. I feel they will take a hit on penalties for building it and will have to be in limited numbers, along with sourcing all parts in quantity. The only way they can build significant quantity is narrow body but that’s a no go from tire size limitation. The Widebody has become a late production relic. Weather Dodge will release it with top speed limiting because of tire applications another ?

EPA stuff is probably the biggest hurdle. Honestly, with CA being the PITA with all that, and why the rest of us have to meet their requirements alludes me, why not just make the car illegal for sale in CA and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves? Same for the DC kits since CA is holding that up too. Here in TN they've put emissions testing to public vote and of course we voted to eliminate them, so that's not even a thing where I live now. I love living in TN :)

Beyond that, the problem is fuel and how much horsepower different fuels can support. I found the limit for 93 on my car's setup, and I found it again on unleaded Renegade RM109 race fuel. So far I've not found it on E85. I ran a few gallons of Renegade Pro110 (leaded) mixed with RM109 but the lead showed up on oil analysis so I quit running any leaded race gas after that so I don't think the OEM would support a leaded race gas option due to sensors, cats, etc. So that really only leaves E85.

Dodge is not going to give us anything that will even remotely be on the edge reliability or durability wise. I vote 3.0 IHI on 6.2 @ 909 HP with E-85. I leave the possibility of a higher HP number but it won't exceed 1000. I am not thinking Angel tho........

^^^^^ So they say, it is possible all this ground work has long been done and perhaps brought some of the team together for
finalizing the project. Again @Resume Speed you must be laughing yer ass off watching these threads evolve on all
the sites.

Last bone he threw as I recall was the 2019 RE that hadn’t been announced yet, as I recall his teaser was “wait till you lift the hood” in response to what the available power train would be. Previous year Demon was limited to 3000 US 300 Canada, and RE no production limits.

The E85 thing makes the whole offering suspect...cant see an E85 car brought to market...and if limited with numbers below the Demon..dealers will be charging outrageous ADM's..rich guys will gobble them up..and stick them in garages...none of us will see them...:(
