    If you use a centrifugal supercharger on it, you can size the blower pulley such that the ever-rising boost curve of the supercharger makes a reasonable amount of torque that will not exceed the stock torque (by much) so you can have more power than stock by just using the top end of the RPM range more while not having parts-breaking torque, and an amazingly flat torque curve.

    If you use an electronic boost controller, you can also use a more high-RPM blower pulley but program it to cut out the boost at a certain boost level on a per-RPM basis so you can exactly tailor the boost curve to suit whatever level of torque you think your car's driveline can stand. The level of tuning available these days is phenomenal.

    One of the good things about that approach is being able to top the Rockies in your car and the boost will be allowed to build to your normal set point, so it will activate the wastegate at a higher RPM. The boost level you got at sea level will still be available, but at a higher RPM.

    Especially good if it is an AWD and you add some valve springs and a piston/rod combo for higher revs, so your power could theoretically exceed a Hellcat's, if you feel so inclined, with the added bonus of AWD traction. You can do that with a turbo or two, also, but the centrifugal blower is a lot easier to install, and does not restrict the exhaust more than the weird monoport already does.

    Edit: supposing you are so inclined, that is. Humiliating Hellcat owners is something the world, needs, from my experience with some of them. They can't ban you for beating them in a race in the real world like they can ban you for demonstrating how stupid they are on an online forum.

    Have no faith in Warranties and Insurance. They don't make any profit if they honor their contract and give you back your money. You lie and they honor their side of the contract. You're honest and they change the contract to keep what should be yours. Contracts with the Devil I say.

    Better to avoid the one-sided contracts and believe in yourself. Risks are lower than you think. They want you to be fearful. Don't give them that power.
