Big Cat 1200HP Kong Ported Dodge Challenger Hellcat – Street Hits
April 21st, 2025Here, kitty, kitty, kitty. This ain’t your old house cat. It’ll be a lot harder to catch. This is the Big Cat giveaway car from Street Speed 717 and it’s more than a handful of neck-snapping goodness. Check it out.
The 2024 Dodge Challenger Hellcat comes from the factory with a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 capable of churning out some serious power. In stock condition, the Hellcat could produce 797hp and 707 lb.-ft. of torque. Equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Challenger Hellcat could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6-seconds despite a curb weight of 4,514-pounds. Blasting through the standing quarter-mile in 11.8-seconds @ 125 mph, this bad kitty had a top speed of 203 mph.
Obviously, that wasn’t enough for the Street Speed guru. He removed the stock blower and replaced it with a ported unit from Kong Performance. Pulley upgrades and a pinned crank pulley followed. He also jammed in an Assassin 2 camshaft from Ripatuned. All the upgrades resulted in a dramatic performance boost. The car now makes 1,200hp at the crankshaft (that’s 1,000hp to the rear wheels).
All that’s left to do is get this Big Cat in the street and listen to her purr.
