ISO some answers about the RedEye coming with stage 3 kit producing 1k HP and all covered under the warranty. Is this true or false ? If true when will this be available?
Talk to your Dealer Service Mgr. Any Warranty would go through them, so they would need to be in the loop.

The dealers will have zero answers for you. It will post online before they would know.
I honestly do not think the stage 3 will be available.
If it was, it would only be around 930hp at the highest.
We will see, but you can not get 1,000hp without race fuel, $105 per 5 gallons would not be a daily driver.

Recently I’ve heard from a couple of Hellcat owners mentioned about getting more power through the warranty. I want to get some info on this as well as this sounds interesting. I believe it’s called their Direct Connection Performance Package and looks like it only has stage 1 and stage 2 kits as of right now as far as I know. Not sure if it’s available or not but talking to Dodge or whoever about this info would be good.

I have a case in with FCA to get a definitive answer to the warranty question re the stage kits--just waiting for them to call me back. So far I've heard and read conflicting information:
  • covered by factory warranty (great--until it runs out... which a majority of HCs are at this point)
  • mopar maximum care plan: "covers everything the factory warranty covers" (which would by extension also cover vehicles with stage kits)
  • mopar maximum care plan: "covers everything the factory warranty covers except power add-ons and other factory add-ons" example given was in the Jeep lineup how you can get lift kits from the factory, covered by the factory warranty yet the mopar extended won't cover them, and power add-ons under the mopar extended would invalidate power train coverage

The question we need answered definitively is will Dodge and Mopar amend the mopar maximum care extended warranty to also cover the vehicles with stage kits added...

No one knows as of yet. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying. Dodge claims stage 3 is in the works but no details have been released. I think 1000hp would be on the extreme high end but this is subjective and well know more when they release more.

Might want to add a question mark to the title. Reads like a fact and not a question. I thought it was a post saying someone found out it’s a fact.
Stages 1 & 2 will be factory warranty deals, this we know. Anyone telling you stage 3 will make it 1000hp is embellishing and rumoring. People love to talk about what they know nothing about. Info on that hasnt been released yet. It wont be 1000hp…

Agreed! The problem with misleading titles is that the search engines pick it up. Then people all around the interwebs start quoting just the title and the morons who read those don't bother to check the references...

More power through the warranty? What does that even mean?

From what I've been told by a couple of guys, the dealership can modify our cars with more power and it's covered under our factory warranty or whatever. I don't know exactly what it's all about as I'm just speaking through what I heard from a couple of Hellcat owners in person. I'd like to get more info on this as well.

Find other ‘friends’. Unless it is a stage kit or Mopar parts the dealer can’t modify and keep the factory warranty. Factory backed parts installed by an approved dealer.

Yes that’s true. Factory warranty as long as your car is still under warranty. Not sure how it would work if your warranty is out already though. It's just not been released yet. Only certain qualified “Power Broker” dealers will be allowed to do the install and it prob wont be available until spring.
See the link in post #5.

If your car is out of warranty, the warranty will just be on the parts themselves.
If you are out of warranty, these are not cost effective, you would be better going to ost or a hemi tuner.

I got a definitive answer from the Direct Connection, DodgeGarage customer service.
They said that installing any of the stage kits, including even the pre-stage kit, will absolutely void any extended warranty.

It's too bad the pre-stage will also, seems odd that just adding a lower T-stat and air filter would affect anything negatively...
