    i have a 2015 Challenger R/T 5.7. I want to have the same horsepower as the hellcat 6.2 engine, how would I go about doing that? What mods will I need to do and what parts will I need? Any help will be greatly appreciated

    What a lot people don't understand is EVERYTHING you do, affects EVERYTHING down stream.

    You will definitely find the weakest link in the chain quickly.

    My problem was always axels, sheering them off right at the spool :(

    Then once that one is fixed, or Beefed up, then you'll find the NEXT ONE. and so on, and so on ...
