the clear dialect and well spoken on this entire series imo is most valuable

I have watched under two minutes of this video, and it is already clear that you are an intelligent, experienced, professional, voice of reason. Most people seem to focus and worry about just the engine. But there’s so much more to it especially in this age of computer control. Years ago when I was first learning about cars. I was told that the engine is actually the least important factor. Long time, engine builder and drag racer, Henry Jackson from cream Ridge New Jersey told me that the car itself is the most important part. You need a good solid body, chassis, rear, differential, brakes, steering, and transmission. The reasoning: you’re always going to be messing with the engine. I used to be an SRT fan and openly talk about how I hate what’s happened with the SRT culture, however, they did succeed in getting a very good platform out there in the hellcat and up trim. A lot of engineering and thinking, was taken care of so that you could get a very potent capable platform out of the box. Back engineering, a lesser platform is certainly possible but then you have all sorts of other related and downstream things to contend with. At the end of the day, for many dodge owners, the cheapest “Mod”, is an upgrade in vehicle. Hellcats are far from perfect so if you start with one, go after the weaknesses there like traction and put a real differential in the back like the drag pack cars have would be the way I would go if I ever went back to SRT.

What’s the hp difference from whipple supercharger and the hellcat supercharger, if you all know?

@midnight347

Ай бұрын

​@darryldz1290 hellcat blower is plenty capable of making far more than a stock engine can handle so it's moot imo. I don't think a 3 liter would make all that much more at pump gas stock motor boost levels. The hellcat blower would be much better for a stock engine better power curve.

What a great 4 video segment. I love listening to smart people when it comes to playing with cars. So I have a question Bernie. I have a 2019 new body style Ram 1500, 4x4 5.7 I bought new. She has 85K babied miles on her. 75% highway miles traveling. Never been off road. She has a 6 inch lift and I installed a Pulsar Computer programmer, and cold air intake. I am thinking about a whipple supercharger. Then I found your video. Would really like to know your thoughts about sticking a supercharger on that 5.7 with those miles on her.

Thanks! I have no concerns with supercharging an 85k mile engine. To me, new engines are more of a wildcard than “seasoned” ones. I’ll throw forced induction on a 200k+ mile engine without a care in the world. It’s just everything else attached that may fall apart from abuse. As long as your truck is healthy and your tune is solid, these are reliable upgrades!

Hi, big fan!! I wish I can say I’m ready to convert my 2021 ram , I have so many ?, one big one is that the truck will be a daily driver and to haul a camper… say 500 miles a day for family vacations. How would it handle all those miles, what should I expect, what would the ware and tear be on such a vital piece of equipment?

I wouldn’t expect much different. Monitor the serpentine belt system, invest in all metal pulleys, and follow a severe interval for preventative maintenance

Hey Bernie love the build, quick question about the smooth boost controller, when driving with partial throttle will you be able to hear the S/C since it’s set on a specific boost?

@CRASHBERN

10 күн бұрын

Thanks and great question. Most of my clients using Smoothboost only hear whine at wide open throttle. It’s possible to hear partial throttle whine if you use a small pulley, thus spinning the blower faster

Everything else being equal, what do you think the output would be for this upgrade on a stock 6.4 since it's already at a higher state of tune from the factory?

The whipple ingests 20% more air per revolution than the base hellcat blower, but that can be matched with a smaller pulley. Otherwise they’re both great options and you can’t go wrong with either choice

It’s possible but the service department will deny any warranty claim that they can link to your supercharger install. For example, if your rear differential fails - some dealerships will say the extra power from this upgrade was the cause and then refuse to repair for free

Will the 5.7 blow up if puts in supercharger and pushing 650hp

@midnight347

Ай бұрын

This is such a loaded question. Anything can blow up of its not tuned and driven properly even stock vehicles. When pushing the envelope you need to use best fuel possible. I.e. it's more likely to live at high power levels with e85 vs 91 pump gas just as an example. When pushing it you wanna have as much octane as you can or use e85. It's much more likely to stay alive at elevated power levels.. this goes with any engine when pushing it.
