- 2019 Dodge Challenger Redeye WB
Deep in this article it is revealed how HEAT can destroy your day (supercharger) when you can get aggressive enough on a Road Course with one of our cars. Shut off my Redeye’s SC cooler once, and one failed on me! I have said many times, the Redeye can go for ten seconds, but something just is not right after 15-30 minutes of really driving it. Not as a rookie at one of the demo schools with short pussy tracks either.
”In addition to addressing braking, shifting and handling, Can had to find a way to get the supercharger on the Hellcat engine to endure the rigors of road racing. For street use or a quarter-mile blast, which goes by in 11.2 seconds, according to Dodge, the intercooled supercharger works fine. For road racing, sustained high rpm for upward of 20 to 35 minutes at a time, it gets hot. It got so hot he had a couple of failures before installing a water-methanol injection system from Snow Performance.”
Great article IMO! @TrackDay they have done some of your stuff after talking with Wesley. They even figured out why the rear boots get busted up when they lowered it!!! It is all here.
