    2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

    Steve brought his 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk in from Maryland for the first round of modifications! Up first, Archer set the supercharged 6.2L Hemi up with a Metco 2.85″ upper pulley, Metco billet idler, Stainless Works long-tube headers connected to the OEM exhaust system, Injector Dynamics ID1050X fuel injectors, all topped off with a JLT Performance air-intake system. Once the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, Charlie strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via HP Tuners.

    The results? 762.63awhp & 683.96lbft on 93 octane! Our opinion on these things hasn’t changed: this is the ultimate daily driver.

  • 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack – 950HP

    2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack – 950HP

    Brad brought us his Plum Crazy 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody to have it transformed into a Dodge Demon slayer — and coming in at 950bhp on 93 octane at only 12psi, versus the Demon’s 840bhp on 100 octane at 14.5psi, we’d say that hit the mark! Up first, John disassembled the engine to the bare block, and rebuilt the 392 with 2618 forged drop-in pistons from MAHLE, along with drop-in forged H-beam connecting rods from Molnar Technologies, CNC ported cylinder heads from Modern Muscle Xtreme, custom VVT camshaft from Cam Motion, valvetrain from Manley Performance Products, Inc. & OEM Hellcat, all fasteners from ARP, MDS delete utilizing OEM Mopar components, along with all the OEM & aftermarket odds-and-ends to bring it all together.

    With the engine reassembled & reinstalled in the car, John moved on to installing the 2.9L W175ax twin-screw system from Whipple Superchargers breathing through a Green Filter USA air filter, 18% overdrive harmonic balancer from ATI Performance Products, fueled by Injector Dynamics ID1050X fuel injectors & Hellcat fitment Walbro Fuel Pumps 525lph in-tank fuel pump, breathing through a set of Stainless Works long-tube headers, all transmitting through a single-piece aluminum driveshaft from Driveshaft Shop.

    With the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, Matt strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via HP Tuners. With 93 octane in the tank, and on only 12psi of boost pressure, Vlad was able to increase output to 790.76whp & 685.90lbft! Plenty to keep Brad white knuckled for the time being, knowing there’s a ton of headroom if (let’s be real, it’s more like when) he’s ready.

  • 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat – 900HP

    2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat – 900HP

    Istvan brought his 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat in for the first round of modifications! And with a Hellcat, that spells 800whp, of course. Working with the existing aFe POWER intake system, Jackson installed a Metco Motorsports 2.75″ upper pulley to get the 2.4L supercharger spinning a bit higher, along with a Gates green belt & Metco billet idler to keep belt slip in check, and addressed fuel supply with a set of Injector Dynamics ID1050X fuel injectors. Up next, Charlie strapped her down to the rollers so that Vlad could perform a custom dyno calibration via HP Tuners. The result? 800.21whp & 748.24lbft on 93 octane! Absolutely killer outcome! Check out the dyno video in comments section.

Once the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, Matt strapped her down to the rollers so that Vlad could bring it all together with a custom calibration via HP Tuners. The results? 519.52whp & 482.11lbft on 93 octane! Solid results for this 5.7L Hemi.

  • 2018 Dodge Durango SRT – Supercharged

    2018 Dodge Durango SRT – Supercharged

    The 2018 Dodge Durango SRT, hailed as America’s fastest, most powerful, and most capable three-row SUV. Propelled by a 392 6.4L HEMI engine, ZF manufactured 8HP70 8-speed transmission, and a gripping AWD system resulting in ~4.4sec 0-60mph times, it’s definitely a solid package… one that is begging for a little boost!

    And that is exactly what Eric had in mind when he brought us his gorgeous, brand new, White Knuckle ’18 Durango SRT! This round, Andrew set this Super SUV up with a twin-screw 2.9L system from Whipple Superchargers, long-tube headers from Stainless Works, all brought together with a custom calibration by Vlad via HP Tuners. The result? A Trackhawk-territory 668.35whp & 582.84lbft on 93 octane!

    Needless to say, Eric is enjoying the new performance, even on the weekly run to the grocery store!

  • 2018 Jeep Trackhawk – 950HP

    2018 Jeep Trackhawk – 950HP

    Everyone, we present to you our nomination for the Ultimate Daily Driver. The Jeep Trackhawk!

    Seriously, these Jeep Trackhawks are absurd. That’s the only way we can describe it. How absurd? How about 800whp+ and 750lbft from only four modifications.

    Joe brought his 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (if you’re unsure what that is, it’s basically a Jeep with an SRT Hellcat 6.2L supercharged 707HP power plant) for the first round of work, broken down to only four key modifications: JLT Performance cold-air intake system, METCO MOTORSPORTS 2.85″ upper pulley and billet idler, and Stainless Works long-tube headers. All of this was brought together with a custom calibration on the dyno by Vlad via HP Tuners.

    And the increase those four key modifications yielded? 813.17whp and 746.95lbft! That’s a net increase of 188.25whp and 141.58lbft increase over this Jeep Trackhawk’s baseline… again, absurd. Our horsepower greedy minds can’t help but salivate over the thought of a 2.55″ pulley, and a set of ID1050X thrown in the mix.

    That’s an increase Joe is sure to notice. We are looking forward to having more of these super SUVs through the shop!

    Check out the video below to see this Jeep Trackhawk in action during dyno tuning at our Richmond, VA facility!

  • 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T – Supercharged

    2009 Dodge Challenger R/T – Supercharged

    Mike brought us his 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T to have the 5.7L Hemi put under a little pressure! Up first, Andrew installed a complete ProCharger P-1SC-1 supercharger system, a 170° thermostat to help keep coolant temperature in check, along with a Barton Industries short-throw shifter assembly to tighten up the shifts. Once Andrew wrapped the mechanical work in the shop, Matt strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via HP Tuners.

    The result? 503.20whp & 475.75lbft on only ~7psi! Solid outcome!

  • 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

    2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

    A few months ago, Ron brought us his 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat because he was bored with the stock performance. After sending him home grinning ear-to-ear with 793.43whp & 726.91lbft (check out his build here), that same day we got a call from a gentleman named Chuck, that went something like, “I’ve got the same Hellcat as Ron, and after that work you guys did, now he’s beating the pants off me! I can’t have that!”

    Fast forward to now, and Chuck’s gorgeous Blue Pearlcoat 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is in for its first round of work! We started off with baseline dyno runs (laying down an unusually healthy 681.47whp & 623.22lbft), then Jared got busy setting the 6.2L HEMI up with an intake system from Legmaker Intakes, LLC, a CNC ported 95mm throttle body from Modern Muscle Xtreme, a 180° thermostat from Mishimoto Automotive, a 2.85″ upper pulley & billet idlers from METCO MOTORSPORTS, and long-tube headers from Stainless Works.

    With the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, then she hit the rollers to get dialed in by Vlad via HP Tuners. The results? 811.43whp & 715.50lbft! A gain of 129.96whp & 92.28lbft over baseline! Needless to say, next time Chuck lines up with Ron, there won’t be any gaptizing going on.

    Talal’s 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 is in for quite a transformation! What’s going down? Louis is disassembling the stock 6.4L HEMI, and reassembling it with a W175X 2.9L twin-screw from Whipple Superchargers, Injector Dynamics ID1050X fuel injectors, Stainless Works long-tube headers & full 3.00″ dual exhaust system, a forged short block from A2Speed loaded with 10.3:1CR Diamond Pistons, forged H-beam connecting rods, and ARP fasteners, COMP Cams valve train & custom camshaft, ATI Performance Products harmonic balancer, all transmitted via an OEM Hellcat clutch & flywheel setup, with components from Hop Not, Speedlogix, Pedders Suspension, and BMR Suspension, all brought together with a custom calibration on the dyno by Vlad via HP Tuners!

    2018 Dodge Charger – Supercharged

    With only a couple thousand miles on the clock, Shaun brought us his 2018 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack to have her put under some pressure! After James set the 6.4L HEMI up with a Gen-III 2.9L W175AX twin-screw unit from Whipple Superchargers, she got a little love from Joel at Flawless Finish in the form of a paint correction & ceramic coating.

    From there, this supercharged charger hit the rollers to get dialed in by Vlad via HP Tuners!

    The final results? 620.37whp & 614.63lbft! Considering these cars normally baseline around 400whp & 385lbft on our dyno, that’s a gain over 220whp & 230lbft! Excellent improvements all around, that Shaun’s sure to enjoy.

    Check out Shaun’s supercharged charger on the rollers in the dyno video below.
