'19 Hellcat Redeye
#26
A couple thoughts, I see they offer a rear knuckle kit to get to zero camber on page 77.

About the redeye stage 1 & 2 kits, I am reading that they only work with high octane unleaded, not regular premium. The regular Hellcat stage 1 package on page 49 uses the same 3.17 Hellephant pulley, but makes no specification about high-octane fuel. Also, the Diablosport tuner does not look to be included with the kit, which granted you don't really need if your dealer is flashing it onto your car, right???

Edit...I see the tuner is included with the pre-stage kit which you do need...so never mind on that one.

I would like the stage 2 kit for my redeye, but there's no way I'm driving around on 110 octane unleaded all the time. I feel like I could pulley and tune my car and still run regular pump gas for the same power upgrade - no?

Stage 2 for $1600 is a no brainer...

'19 Hellcat Redeye

For us redeye owners, the stage 2(pre-stage kit plus stage 2 kit) looks like it's $2400 and you get an air filter, 180 tstat, 3.17 pulley and tuner...do you think installation for the pulley will be extra $$$?

Since their hp numbers aren't rwhp you could actually have more hp on pump fuel 93. Hellcats are typically around 750rwhp after a good 93 tune. The redeye is even a little more than that. For the price I'm not impressed.

880hp is around 705rwhp

YouTube video released today by Dodge stated Direct Connection in early 2022. So they lied about Dec 2021. :-(

Click on the link Eric provided, in the very lower right there should be a cloud symbol & that downloads a PDF version which you can print if desired.

I still chuckle that the Demon needed its big Air Grabber hood and 100 octane tune to get to 840hp.
Now you get 840hp with a tune and pump gas and 880 with a pulley.

Or am I missing the race gas part of this?

I love it though. This has been badly needed for years from Mopar.
