I assumed this would be a simple question asked a 1000 times but can't find it in search. Is it simple to up grade a HC to a RE by adding the RE blower and injectors? Does it need a new tune, fuel pump? What is the magic sauce to do this? Has anyone done it?


I'm just curious more than anything. - Thanks in advance - :geek:

Depends on your desired goals . If it's just the power a 2.85 pulley will do the trick . If you are going for the whole shootin match there is a lot more involved.

Generally I was just looking at what it would take to create a 2018 RE. I know the pulley deal gets you there, was just wondering if it was that simple. RE Injectors and Blowers are out there, so just looking at wall all it takes.

Redeye/Demon motor is a little different throughout compared to regular Hellcat.

You want a clone .
For starters you will need the following

Hood
Air box
Supercharger with injectors
Tuning to accommodate the new supercharger and injectors
Badging

Yea, again its just curiosity, not a plan. but not looking to clone. Just asking if its was as easy as blower and injectors. Seems not to be.

You will also have the change out your gauge cluster for the MPH. All Redeyes have a 220 MPH gauge. The Hellcats are 200.

Along with the above, if you don't want it to be a clone you'll need a new VIN number assigned by FCA......so it's doable! :geek:

Damn, I would just trade in/sell and buy, too much work for it to be just a clone.

Seeing as you are not looking for a clone.
The blower and whatever else is needed. Such as a tune and say some help in fuel pump maybe.
With the tune raise the shift points some. That should be enough to exceed RE performance.
Yes sure there is more to a RE than just that, but for solely performance results that would do it.
A tune and raised shift points on a HC would get you in the ballpark performance wise on its own.
In my experience there is roughly .2 in the 1/4 to make up.

Now I am in no way knocking the RE so please don't come at me with pitch forks. LOL
If I was in a position to trade up I would.
