Long tube headers, intake and tune can get you into the 600 crank hp range. Get some ultra light wheels and sticky tires... do some weight reduction and then you are in the ballpark power to wt of the hellcat. Hellcat 4449#/707hp= 6.3. Lightly modded gt350 with wt reduction 3600/600=6 and your car looks better, sounds better, handles way better and more unique.

Weight and aero mean something. My mclaren only has 650hp, but weighs 3100, very slick aerodynamically and will smoke most cars w 800hp

A shop by me just did a Twin Turbo GT350. Here is a link to their website. Give them a call and ask questions. Great bunch of guys.

I spoke to Hellion this afternoon and they said I dont need a MMR Billet Oil Pump Gear like the shop by you used. They said only supercharged engines need that.

So any
idea what that shop charged for the kit and install??

I found out.


I called them and it was over $22,000. A lot more than I thought.

For a hellion twin turbo kit installed? That's a complete rip-off. The kit is 10000. The install with Dyno tune shouldn't be more than 2k. For that money I hope he got a completely built engine out of it otherwise he got completely ripped off.

Looks like he upgraded a lot of stuff on the kit. The ball bearing upgrade alone is 1,200.00. With the upgrades my guess is around 13 or 14K. It's about the same on Beefcakes website if upgrade. Upgrade to ID 1000's is probably another 1K. So you are at 15K. Looks like he had some custom exhaust done, that's never cheap. Another 1K. Add 2K for tuning. So 18K right there. Without seeing what else was upgraded, modified or done, 22K is not unreasonable. I am sure the customer didn't feel ripped off or they would have never agreed to it.
