So Who Will be First to 1000whp

Methanol injection is a nice substitute if you do not have access to E85.

I completely agree and I have considered adding meth to my HellCat Challenger. However, the TRX will be my new daily driver and I’d rather not have the headache.

This is a local shop around me. They have already had some nice gains. Planning on getting some work done on mine when I’m back up that way. Talked to Mario and told him I wanted to use it for a everyday truck, not a race truck. Learned a while ago no need to make your daily driver a race car.

Still not 1000whp but impressive

True, but just kind of wanted to show that it is already coming fast. We will see if before you know it. Thought it was just some good info to post.

Not criticizing. Just saying

According to Magnuson, their 2650 is good to 1000crank without additional fueling on the hellcat motor. 1400 with fueling.

If this is all bolt on bolt off, I would do it. Then you can get HP you want, if engine blows, just put stock blower and stuff back on and get warranty replacement rebuilt motor.

2 questions:
1) Does anyone know if you nuke a transmission, half shafts or other drive train part on a hellcat vechilce, not in engine bay, do they check to see if you did mods to engine to void the warranty?

2) WHP on TRX is 600-615. With stock drive train, I know this is just guesstimating, how much additional HP, will push the drive components to break? from other performance upgrades experiences, on other hellcats or other vehicles.

My experience of the owner of 2 built viper motors one 540 stroker with nitrous (300 shot) and one with supercharger, drive train parts are just upgrade by the performance shop, as they have been proven to break. (half shafts/rear gears). Anything over 150 WHP, really ups the chances of breaking things?

Not possible, once the PCM is cracked/tuned the dealer will void your warranty. I’m only really familiar with the HellCat platform but I bet the TrackHawk guys could give more input. Lots and lots of people modify these cars and I know the dealer is usually looking for every excuse under the sun to not perform warranty work.
I would imagine the most common drivetrain components to break in the TRX will be the front diff and half shafts with a driveshaft not being far behind. One of the first mods for HellCats on sticky tires is a driveshaft and differential brace. My HelLCat makes 771whp and after replacing the driveshaft and adding a diff brace I still grendaded the rear diff and twisted/snapped my half shafts. I believe the D60 rear end in the TRx will be sufficient but I foresee that front diff and half shafts not lasting long at all, especially if traction is present.

Yeah I figured nothing would be that easy anymore.

So its all or nothing. Once you do it, its no warranty at all.

Thanks

From another thread. They did remove the front drive shaft...
603 WHP

Wait for the new Whipple The only way to go

 

[Demon479]

Just follow what hennessy is doin theres is already being offered for $150,000 but its 1015hp

Metco 275 pulley, injectors and cats
Race fuel you’ll be close to 900 wheel
horsepower hundred shot of nitrous you’ll be over 1000 on the road you’ll break all your drivetrain

I don’t think the hellcat motor is like methanol I have not heard anybody running it.

Welcome to the Forum. Do you have a Trx on order? Cheers

600whp seems a bit optimistic.
There were super cool ambient temps, and they did disconnect front drive shaft so its not tooo out of the realm of possibility but I think the 550ish #'s are more accurate imo.

100lb wheels x2, 8speed trans, x-fer case, and a dana60 full float; no way your getting less than 15% drivetrain loss.

Diff braces are warranty voiders aswell.

 

[Demon479]

Coming from the hellcat demon platform. Adding more horsepower to the TRX depending what you plan on doing are you sand and dirt or are you plan on dragracing?
Do you plan on boosting horsepower and running on the street at the dragstrip you will break shit I’ll kinds of stuff guarantee it. Stock demons blow diffs axles and drive shaft all the time

Here’s a pile of carnage from one racing weekend three different cars just over 1000 hp

Really? Why?

A lot of it depends on your dealer what’s covered and what’s not.
A friend of mine has a demon also and he put Mickey’s DR on it and they said they weren’t going to warranty the diff. But if you had the stock NItto’s DR It would be covered!

my 16 hellcat I had a race clutch in it and exploded the transmission took it into the dealer got a warrantee and I asked the tech how we got away with it he said he forgot to take pictures!

But a diff brace? I can see how they might look more closely at other things if you had one but why would they have warranty issues with the brace itself?
