Building a Cheap Hellcat - Supercharged 6.1 Hemi Challenger SRT8

[@benk3431]

I bought an 08 srt8 challenger for under 20k (with under 100k miles) and I’m very happy with my choice. Poor interior quality but that’s not what I bought it for.

Just needs some Tender Loving Care

[@benk3431]

@@christiansantamaria7233 no lol the interior is mint but I’m saying in that era of cars interiors just aren’t good looking. Lots of plastics and overall cheap materials and bad styling.

[@benk3431]

[@vhoodie6759]

Planning on getting one an the 6.1 is slept on

[@SRT8GSD]

I’m buying a WK1 SRT8 next week. Where should I begin? Supposedly has ported intake and head. Definitely has Paramount built trans, transfer case, and axles. Bassani x-pipe. 90mm throttle body. 5” intake.

[@mauser8515]

Opening line is spot on, until I drove a couple of SRT8's back to back. Love the chassis, the Tr6060, and the pushrod motor. So simple and reliable I'd you take a split second to shift. It's no Miata on the shifting and handling, but it is such a good highway car. I love taking it down back roads. I bought a 2009 with 160k miles. It runs like a sewing machine.

[@4linesav]

I’m in the market to buy one. I no longer have my R/T Daytona or my 2010 SXT. I’m seeing some 08-13 SRT8s I’m debating on whether to get the 6.1 or 6.4. I know I’m getting another 50HP with the 6.4 but I’ve heard the 6.1s take boost a lot better

[@mauser8515]

@@4linesav The older car is cheaper. Mods bolt on easily, so you would end up with what you want for the same entry price on a newer car. Plus fuel cost is insane at the moment. Thanks Prez!

[@srtv8or109]

Very impressive truly I just finished purchasing a 2006 SRT8 300 and I think I will use your recipe to gain the power like that Challenger keep up the excellent work with your video contents but I am definitely going to be taking notes unfortunately the one that I bought is just over 200000 km on it but I figure good tear down rebuilt and do the mods we should be good to go thank you once again👍🏾💪🏽🙏🏽🍻

[@bryanmunoz699]

Bought my 09 srt with 30k miles for under 10k love it and haven’t done any mods yet just changed interior panels to red suede, been loving it but I’d love to get under the hood now

How tf u find that ??

[@brodyjames8092]

As I’ve said it before I enjoy this channel a lot everything is very well explained I am actually learning something each and every episode guessing probably because instead of talking like a radio DJ like most car channels everything is clearly spoken as if in person. I have a 2016 dodge ram 57 hemi 4 x 4 it has a carb legal intake and straight pipe. Hemi’s sound mean. And can definitely hold their own in the morning cold start noise pollutionKeep up the good work sir

[@shoapie]

My friend built the same car, but black, it's awesome lol

[@AlexPerkins252]

Not gonna lie. I always slept on the 6.1 until a guy I know did a H/C/I on one and made a ridiculous amount of power with it.

[@trillsrt8]

Man im really thinking about getting a supercharger for my 6.1. It came with headers and intake might go with this same setup 🤔

[@jakey20022]

Did you guys dyno run the car in current form ?!?! I would love to see the numbers.

[@MotorCity_LA]

Great Video Brother!

[@smokingasphalt8050]

The E Force is a nice out the box blower set up IMO. Enjoyed the video bro. And I spotted Gutless Camaro lurking back there.

[@Pepe46873]

I got an 09 manual, factory clutch with a Vortec V3 supercharger, long tubes de cat and corsa exhaust. Definitely not a hellcat but lots of fun and makes allot of noise. 100 hp less then a hellcat

[@FrickeJohn]

Do you have a cam on your setup?

[@tonykairobinson9126]

so just forged pistons and supercharger and you can make that power reliably? ofc bigger injectors thrown in too

Nice work on the Mopar. What a difference at 5 psi and a little tweaking of elecronics! That said, let me tell you how absolutely jealous I am of that 2nd gen V wagon! Been lusting after one of them for a couple years now, and you would know...about the time my income made enough of a jump to finally start shopping for one seriously, the used car market as a whole went up dramatically as well. Havent seen one for sale with acceptable miles for less than $55k in quite a while (many are $60k+), unless it had a rebuilt or salvage title, and that one was still high 40's and questionable on the repair job.

[@Perfectimperfectionist]

Why not go with a turbo set up? Do a lot more with a lot less boost. If that was a turbo set up running 6lbs it would’ve gapped the ctsv

I thought the 6.1 already had all forged internals. Must just be the crank and rods.

[@leezynotyeezy2140]

Forged crank and "high strength steel" connecting rod. But this build was overkill for those boost levels. The 6.1 can handle 8psi all day without touching the internals

Both, cam n fbo with supercharger or other force air and you will make way more power then a hellcat but for best instant power and efficiency go supercharger

Building a cheap hellcat....mmm you would buy a late model 2005-2010 300c body style for cheap and then boost the hell out of the 5.7 +nitrous. The damn 6.1 challenger alone is about 20+ grand for a nice gently used one....the first gen 300c are anywhere from blown motor 3grand to 9grand low mileage 5.7l. Prefer the 09-10 for the eagle 5.7.

How much do you think I’d have to spend parts wise to do this?… of course I want more power, how much more will I need to spend to make it even faster with smaller pully, etc. I owned a 07 srt8… sold it…. Miss it.. wanna get another one but I’m wondering if I should buy a stock one or just get a built one.

[@fml6991]

Honestly if it was me I’d recommend you go corvette. Unless you’ve really got some pull to the srt8 in particular, the c6 is similar if not better value for money. The ls is a bit better to build, a bit cheaper to build, a bit more reliable and will last a little bit longer, from factory the ls3 made 430, so stock preformance is comparable but the corvette weighs a shit ton less, not to mention corvettes can go in circles too.

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. :-(!!!!
