Congrats! Are you planning on upgrading to the Redeye supercharger in the future? What about the dual fuel pumps?

Since you did the redeye swap. Did you do that as a cost savings overall? The complete long block for 10k is a good price for an engine that can handle a 1000 stock with good tuning.

I would have thought you would be paranoid running stock parts with mods again. I know the redeye/demon rods are better and it has some engineering that is improved on over the stock hellcat. I thought some beefier aftermarket pistons and rods with aftermarket heads. Keep the stock crank. Maybe a mild cam or stock cam.

That was FAST!

"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him..."

I just want to say that pulling that motor in 2 days is outstanding. Man, what a great job. I'd also like to say that all of you who live where there are a lot of car folks, and therefore lots of gear heads, appreciate what you've got. Where I live now I could toss the broken parts out of a high flying plane and not have one land anywhere near a fellow gear head.

Good job, and what a great ending to a difficult episode.

10.3 on a broken motor sound better than 10.2 on a perfect motor. I understand these thing cause I watch divorce court.

Great job headers. I would like to take a perfectly good part and hit that vette next door then him. Why waste a good part on him.

Not gonna upgrade to the RE blower. There's more for me on the 2.4L since I run 93 on the street. With the RE blower I'd be limited to the stock boost at 14.5psi due to pulley setups. I could run just a 10% lower with the RE blower and be around 17psi I think, but I don't think I'd gain much over the current blower combo. I'm running 16.5 on the HC blower. One of these days I might upgrade to the 3.0L blower on the Hellephant if they ever become available. That might be the sweet spot for how I use the car.

I thought about it for about a week, and talked to several folks. You have to make decisions based on goals. I never intend to try to have an 8 second car. That's just getting in to too much for a car I drive on the street A LOT. My goals have always been 10.0 in any weather and crack off a 9 second pass here or there in good air. This Demon/RE engine should EASILY be capable of that without pushing it to the limit (I hope). If this one ever fails, it'll be a built short block for sure though. Then skies the limit.

Correction, it ran 10.03 on the broken motor. Imagine what it should do on one that's not broken

OUTSTANDING! Great work @Speedy! I’m not sure what you do for a living but I could see you selling a “Speedy Street Package or Strip Package” to the masses!
