It looks like a Redeye is a little out of reach to upgrade to a Hellcat version. And the RE options are still crippled- no sepia interior, carbon/suede.

What mods can I do in the future to make up and maybe surpass the HP difference to above 800hp without too much trouble and expense?

Also how does the stock exhaust sound differ between the stock WB HC and the Redeye? I don’t plan to do any exhaust charges. The Sp 392 sounds great but haven’t seen a good exhaust comparison - is the supercharger whine drown out the HEMI thumping? What about inside with and without the sunroof open?

You can do bolt ons/E85 to get the power up to or past that of a RE. Can also consider upgrading to the 2.7L RE blower or one of the aftermarket offerings (2650, 3.0 Whipple).
Direct Connection also has some Hellcat packages coming that will be covered under warranty and offer big gains on pump gas...

The DC Hellcat packages look pretty weak. 5hp I think for a Cold Air Intake, and then 35hp dor Stage 2. Over 2 grand for 40hp at the flywheel?

The RE DC is 80hp a better improvement with warranty.

Idx1050 injectors
Pulley
Tune
Intake
This will put you past the RE
Sounds promising…
What kind of investment are we talking?

What pulley change and boost? Not even sure how much you can safely go.

For a tune are we talking aDiablo 93 tune? Some custom mail in tune?

By intake you mean just a filter (CAI?) I thought they don’t do much.

Check out ripatuned. Intake, exhaust, and ripatuned incognito and I am making about what stock red eyes make. Can add custom tune, some more fuel and be well over a red eye. Red eye gives you a nice security blanket to make bigger numbers safely but the standard hellcat engine has been pushed to some pretty drastic numbers. I personally feel 850 is the sweet spot and is my goal. Not adding any more go though until I get my wheels and tires upgraded.

Whatever you do, DONT check out ripofftuned. If you've ever seen the logs from WOT pulls on a stock hellcat tune, then you'd know that there is NO WAY you should be putting on pulleys without getting a real tune and any TOONER that tells you otherwise needs to be taken out of business. That includes the likes of that MORON steven ripoffa. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING from that shop. And dont let them tell you its safe to pulley a stock tune hellcat ESPECIALLY a 2021+ car.

Just a tune on 93 will put you with a redeye. Get injectors and an incognito lower pulley added and you will be about 50 whp higher than a redeye.

Simple....... 3.0 Whipple with injectors and a tune. On 93 octane ull be at 830 to the wheels depending on dyno. Stock Redeye is about 715 whp.

Or like mentioned injectors, pulley, tune, CAI, Methanol injection.

That works if you have deep pockets!!

Otherwise the 2.85” and a intake and a 93 tune will put you there

All you really need is a tune. My 21 with a 93 tune from Satera did 734hp to the wheels on a dyno jet in 90* heat.
734 rwhp out of the regular Hellcat engine? That’s awesome!! With just a tune.
Edit: What was your A/f ratio? I had an ‘03 Cobra and had to make sure it wasn’t running lean.
I loved my stock SP Charger. And I Can’t wait until I get my WB Challenger Hellcat

I’m sure it will be a night and day difference with over 200 more HP
