I have a 2021 Super Stock. Would a hellephant engine be a bolt up? would the driveline hold up? Is it safe and or possible? Always gotta have more.............
The Hellephant Question....

The answer is yes... however, I dont see the reason when you could boost 200hp for a lot less than the cost of swapping..

It's been done, I'd go online and look up the modification vids and hit up the guys that did it. From the point of pure ridiculous power I am assuming you are installing a supercharger or a couple of turbos? Looking at 1200HP?
I just thought that tuning to get more HP would put a strain on the engine as it seems that adding 200-400- more HP on the present SS engine wouldn't hold up long. Thanks for the insight, I will look deeper into tuning aspect, and thank you guys for your response. Peter
This gets a C'MON MAN
Me Me Me!!
Who would of thought a Demon with 840hp for the track with a bumper to bumper warranty?
My Buick Grand National puts out gobs of power, and would hurt 99.99% of feelings of cars on here, but damn that sumbitch breaks a lot.
Last time turned the boost up 3 more pounds and the crank said "Umm, I am done, I think we need to go our separate ways."
The Demon is a good car, but its engine is very similar to the Hellcat engine (with notable differences). It, however, is not capable of 1,000hp without some more modifications. It may only seem like a little bit extra power to get to 1,000 from there, but there's a pretty big distinction between 800 and 1,000hp in terms of the physics involved on the rotating assembly. A commuter car may experience a bit of valve knock or "ping" if it gets bad gas. A 1,000hp engine experiencing the same issue might throw a rod out the side of the block. I'd love to see an engineering team come up with a 1,000hp engine that could be warranteed for 60,000 miles.
And I would immediately invest all my money into their company because as they say, "There is no such thing as a race car that doesn't break down." I did pretty well with my green Mustang (1,024whp peak, ran mostly at 820hp or so, 41,000mi), but it took constant maintenance and plugs every 10k miles
Never did break down, but that's only due to preventive maintenance. But, to do a car like this and have it "in production," it has to be pretty much maintenance free for 60k miles with not much more than oil changes. That's the difference with the Hellephant engine. It only shipped with a 90-day warranty on initial parts and workmanship. The instant you put it in a car and fire it up successfully... warranty is null.Engineers know a lot more than we do.
As an engineer, you give engineers far too much credit
Go watch that impossible baking challenge show on Netflix where they team a baker and an engineer to make crazy things. Note how many engineers can't figure out how to make a simple functional pulley. And, one of the worst ones was a NASA aeronautics engineer. Poor girl, I don't think she ever made anything that worked.I am a systems engineer. I make weird stuff work. Lol

Stupit enginears with their "facts" and Knowledge", make car go fast.
Right? As long as it works who cares?
