IIRC, stouter driveshaft and half shafts, better connecting rods that are actually forged not sintered, and MAYBE heads from T56 aluminum heat treated to T6 (or maybe all Hellcats have that feature) This just off the top of my head, as I do remember kind of envying the list of modifications that, to me, were not just marketing fluff but actual engineering improvements.

I don't think it ends at "slap a 2.7L IHI blower in it to replace the Hellcat's 2.3" by any means. They (Dodge) don't want warranty grenades.

Nice. The only thing that would stop me from getting a Redeye at purchase time is the automatic trans.

I guess one could get it changed so one could put Lenco rods on it (because it's a planetary anyway, what the heck) and have a Lenco effect with overdrive. But eight shift rods? Oh, the programming and building involved...

Just imagining the purists crying and braying over this is funny.

No, it's not. The Demon had the one VERY wide snorkel .

Neither hood is a snorkel hood; a snorkel hood has the intake further forward than and above the body of the scoop to allow it to get clean air banging into the air mass already in the scoop to compress it in a consistent manner. Think of the old Harwoods of the past.

What do you mean by Direct Connection?

Direct Connection has a very good explanation on Uncle Tony's Garage on youtube. It was a very straight line to the factory to get Mopar racing goodies that the other brand X manufacturers did not have, thus the name.

Mopar is a people, not just a brand. Many of us are second-generation Mopar freaks, and are even more dyed-in-the-wool than our forefathers.
