1000 HP DELIVERY DODGE RAM TRUCK...Are you kiddin' me?

Most of the companies use their parts tucks as a tools. When we see a thread on the Cummins Forum documenting RevMax Performance Converters’ build up of their parts truck, we had to take a look.

They plan on building their parts truck and putting some serious horse power with it. This is not a work truck turned toy either. Choices were made many times during the build, because they planned on keeping the truck in service for deliveries.

Next time when they are late for some delivery, they really will have no excuses with over 1,000 HP under the hood.

The overhaul started in late June or early July and has progressed nicely over the past 6 months. This truck is a 2008 Ram 2500 that has under the hood a 6.7 liter Cummins. Because the truck is a delivery truck type, it is 2WD, sports a long bed, has a regular cab, but has only 140k on the odometer.

Thanks to RevMax’s 68RFE program getting a substantial makeover, this all started. The main goal is to become the fastest delivery truck in the United States. The plan is to utilize the help of RevMax for the tranny, Hamilton Diesel for the engine, and then source everything else locally in Charlotte, NC. When they finish the truck, they hope it will be in the 10 second range and have more than 1000 HP under the hood.

         Engine:

• Fire ringed block and head
• Carrillo rods
• Dynomite Diesel injectors
• Fleece Performance Piping kit
• ARP 625’s
• Hamilton Springs and Pushrods
• 24V girdle with 12mm studs
• 465/480 billet comp wheel and custom housing that are mounted to a Steed Speed manifold
• H&S Performance tuner with Custom MCC tuning
• Hamilton Cams 188/200 cam
• aFe Power Intake Horn
• FASS 200GPH pump
• Custom 5” exhaust
• PPE Dual CP3 pumps
  
  
  
  Transmission:
  
• Customer Revmax Stage 5 triple disc billet converter
• Revmax Signature 1000 68RFE w Manual Lockup
• Billet input hub
• Billet flexplate
• Billet input shaft

Why a 1,000 HP and not the 850 HP? The 1,000 runs different overall line pressure and line pressure settings. This built vehicle is about having fun and it looks that RevMax is having fun.

The major problem that they have now is the traction. While getting sideways is always interesting, that maybe is not the best idea for a delivery truck. With this kind of power, major rear suspension changes will be made, but they are limited for suspension and tire because this will still be their delivery truck.

They are running CalTracs and QA1 adjustable shows from Calvert Racing. The truck has a full roll cage, but it looks to be about it for safety/traction modification.

There was installed an SRT10 hood. The grill, bumpers and other parts were painted white. Even white Rigid Industries LED light bar and fog lights were installed. There is a rumor of adding a wrap down the road, but for now, all is white.

The interior audio system is being replaced. In, the front doors are mounted a set of 6.5” Polk Audio components, and 5.25” parts are mounted behind the seats. Two 10” JL Audio W1’s subs are being mounted in a custom box and it is being made to work around the roll cage. The power of everything is a JL700/5V2 amp.

Tesla P85D destroys Dodge Challenger Hellcat on a dragstrip...Watch the video here!!

Say "P85D" to Tesla owners and fans, and you will see the drooling and twitching and heavy breathing and lustful stares--and more drooling--that Tesla's fastest, highest-performance electric car brings.

The same happens with the word "Hellcat" for fans of high-powered Hemi V-8 performance.

Now, courtesy of two owners--each convinced that their car is the fastest, baddest beast on the road--we know what happens when the two cars face off on the drag strip.

Two days ago at Palm Beach International Raceway, a Tesla Model S P85D and a 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat competed in the traditional quarter-mile drag race.

As Street Car Drags notes, the Tesla P85D set a new world record for the fastest-accelerating electric car, with a quarter-mile time of 11.6 seconds and a speed through the finish of 114.6 mph.

The two cars aren't exactly comparable; the Tesla is a five-seat luxury sedan with four doors and a hatchback, while the Challenger is a traditional muscle-car coupe with only two doors and a trunk.

The Charger Hellcat sedan might have been a more direct comparison. But they're fairly evenly matched on horsepower, with the Hemi-engined Hellcat coming in at a stated 707 hp (some suggest the actual rating may be higher).

The P85D, meanwhile, has a combined output of 691 from its front and rear electric motors.

That may indicate one reason why the electric luxury car thrashed the old-style gasoline muscle car so decisively: All four wheels are powered.

Not only that, but its drive-control software adjusts the power delivered to each wheel to ensure that front and rear both have equal traction--maximizing the total torque delivered to each wheel without any loss of traction.

The Hellcat, as you'll see, is all about rear-wheel burnout. Fans of tire smoke will like its practice burnout (starting around 0:41).

But the appeal of raw electric power is amply demonstrated in the video.

Hennessey 2015 HPE700 Supercharged Ford Mustang

Ever since the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat brought the number 707 out to the whole world, it was expected that muscle car tuners and enthusisasts would try and better that palindromic figure.

The tuners at Hennessey decided to raise the number to 717 for their 2015 HPE700 Ford Mustang. The HPE700 Ford Mustang is now packed with 717 horsepower and 632 pound-feet of torque.

The HPE700 Mustang is a standard Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V8 and produces power which is up by a few hundred notches with a Roots-type supercharger running at 7.25 psi.

Hennessey claims that this boosted Mustang can rocket up to 60 miles per hour in about 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. These numbers are very very similar to that of the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

To stay in control of this power packed Mustang, the engine gets a high-flow throttle body, upgraded injectors, new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and Hennessey's calibration for the engine management.

Hennessey is also offering a host of upgrades to make the Mustang even more aggressive, like carbon fiber pieces for the front splitter, side sills, rear diffuser and spoiler. Further enhancements include 20-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport 2 tires and 15.1-inch Brembo front rotors.


This is what Hennessey press release looked like;

Texas-tuned HPE700 Mustang has firepower to battle Corvette Z06 & SRT Hellcat

Sealy, Texas- Hellcat and Z06, be very afraid. Because when that 2015 Mustang 5.0L with the Hennessey script on its decklid sidles up next to you at the stoplight, it might very well be packing 717 supercharged horsepower. Dig the spurs in, pilgrim, and she'll bolt to 60 mph in a scant 3.6 seconds. Keep your foot down, and the pressurized Coyote 5.0-liter 4-cammer will blaze to a white-hot 11.2-second quarter mile at 131 mph. It's ponycar meets supercar.

"We're very excited about the 2015 Ford Mustang and so are our performance-minded clients," said John Hennessey. "Our HPE700 Supercharged upgrade will elevate this Motown Missile's performance to rival some of the fastest European sports cars. We can't wait to share our specially tuned Mustang with the world!"

"This thing is uncaged, absolutely nuts," says Hennessey partner Don Goldman. "We're thrilled to offer a 2015 Mustang that will outperform some of the fastest cars currently offered, at a lower price point."

Key to that 717 bhp (and the HPE700's deep well of torque-632 lb-ft at 4400 rpm) is the Roots-type high-helix supercharger packing 7.25 psi of boost. Helping the Coyote V8 breathe more deeply is a high-flow throttle body and stainless-steel exhaust system. Upgraded injectors and fuel pump help feed the V8, under command of Hennessey's proprietary engine management calibration.

Just 500 units of the HPE700 will be produced for the 2015 Mustang model year. Pricing starts at $59,500 USD including the base 2015 5.0L Mustang GT. But greater personalization and performance can be had by adding options such as CarbonAero carbon-fiber bodywork (front splitter, side sills, rear diffuser and rear lip spoiler), 20-in. Hennessey H10 wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport 2 tires, and a Brembo brake package with 15.1-in. front rotors. As a package, they give the Mustang improved downforce, cornering and braking to keep pace with the colossal supercharged power.

New 2015 Hennessey Mustangs can be ordered through any of AutoNation's 37 Ford dealerships across America. A high-performance upgrade for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost-powered Mustang is also under development.

1964 Ford Mustang

1964 Ford Mustang Convertible

The first generation Ford Mustang was launched in the US on April 17, 1964.

It combined it sporty looks, economy, and performance in a package that had an affordable price tag.

The Mustang had enough options that you could have it as an economy car to a luxury sports car.

The Mustang created the "pony car" class of American automobiles which consist of sports-car like coupes with long hoods and short rear decks.

It gave rise to competitors such as the Chevrolet Camaro, and Pontiac Firebird, AMC Javelin, as well as Chrysler's improved Plymouth Barracuda and the first generation Dodge Challenger.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

The Dodge Challenger has come into the world in three completely different generations. 

The first generation Challenger was a pony car produced from 1970-1974. 

The second generation ranged from 1978-1983 and was a badge engineered Mitsubishi Galant Lambda. 

The third, current generation came about in 2008 and was produced to compete against the Mustang and the Camaro, two legendary muscle cars that had started the pony car era. 

The current generation Challenger is built on the Charger/Chrysler 300C platform and features rear-wheel drive and an independent rear suspension. 

Officially the Dodge Challenger SRT is the only Chrysler Group model confirmed to receive the Hellcat under its bonnet.
