Mallard Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 The Viper has never been about doing things in a small way, or doing “just enough” to beat competitors. The design of this supercharger system follows that same method of madness, delivering substantial gains to an already potent snake. There was a reason that Dodge/SRT produced all 2013+ Viper engines with a forged piston and rod construction, as it was hinted early on that they be suitable for handling boosted applications. Well, now we fully realize what they had planned this entire time! While the nearest competitor, being the 2015 Corvette Z06, comes equipped with a diminutive 1.7L TVS style supercharger and force-feeds a 6.2L V8 engine, Dodge went with a much larger approach. This system is a 4.3L twin-screw supercharger, on top of the 8.4L V10 engine, which should produce an excess of 900hp! The name “Sledgehammer” likely suggests the feeling your seat will feel, as soon as you dive into the throttle. The good news? The drivetrain of the Viper is already designed to accommodate this level of power. It was planned all along. The package consists of: Hybrid twin-screw 4.3L supercharger @ 6psi boost Venom 2 engine control module w/ custom tune American Racing long-tube headers and exhaust system Air to water heat exchanger system with pump High flow fuel system upgrades Modified front engine cover for front accessory drive belt routing Front belt pulleys and idler system Modified front strut tower beam to clear new accessory path Custom engine coil pack covers to integrate with supercharger SRT dealership installed http://media.dealerfire.com/websites/1147/content/supercharger-large.jpg?s=39669 http://media.dealerfire.com/websites/1147/content/package-3-supercharger.jpg?s=75959 http://i1.wp.com/www.allpar.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Gen5-SC-Dyno.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 It's all vaporware until it happens, but it still makes me happy in the right places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Did they really post a made up dyno graph? What makes you think it was made up? It's all vaporware until it happens, but it still makes me happy in the right places. It's real, but it's done by Arrow and Viper Exchange. Rumor says it was developed with Chrysler, for production, but the program was cut and they allowed them to go ahead and offer it aftermarket. Chrysler also agreed to open up the stock engine controller for them to tune. Arrow does the assembly of all Viper engines and racing engines and was started by a former engineer at Chrysler.

Green Bastard Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I wonder what just a pulley and a tune would do to a car like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Chart says "estimated" Package also shows it won't be available until 2016. Yea, I see that. Credible rumors from last year indicated that they had running engines. Maybe it's estimated because they are still working on the final tune.

1Quik7 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 awesome This has got to be 25k installed right? When a lowly Paxton + Headers is 15k installed...I'd bet this is upwards of 40k. Gotta pay that "Viper Tax". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
