What Does Direct Connection Offer?
As was previously mentioned, Direct Connection gives Dodge owners access to Dodge’s entire line of high-performance parts directly from the factory. Drivers can shop thousands of parts providing everything from Direct Connection, including cold air intakes, tuner kits, performance exhaust systems, differentials, transmissions, pistons, and much more. Using Direct Connection parts ensures an exact fit for your specific year and model, as it comes directly from the Dodge factory. Additionally, Direct Connection also gives drivers access to Dodge’s lineup of mind-boggling crate engines, which we’d like to tell you more about below!
What are the HellCrate Engines?
Through Dodge Direct Connection, Dodge owners get access to an array of high-performance crate engines. Everyone’s heard of the Hellcat engine, the supercharged 6.2L V8 used in the Challenger, Charger, and Durango SRT Hellcat models. Through Direct Connection, however, customers can select a new lineup of supercharged Hellephant crate engines, producing between 900 and over 1,100 horsepower based on preliminary estimates! The Hellephant engine lineup consists of three engines: A30, A170, C30, and C170. These engines provide 1,000 horsepower, 1,100, 900, and 1,000 horsepower, respectively. Direct Connection also provides the new HurriCrate engine lineup. The HurriCrate engines use two turbochargers instead of a supercharger. Based on preliminary estimates, the HurriCrate Cat 1 engine gets up to 420 horsepower, while the Cat 2 engine delivers up to 550.
