Nutty 2,000-HP Twin Turbo Challenger Hellcat Aims for 6-Sec Quarter Mile

This wicked Challenger Hellcat is entering the final build stages as it prepares to make its debut at TX2K26.

The Dodge Challenger Hellcat may no longer be around as a new vehicle, but it’s certainly going to be a hot commodity on the used market for the foreseeable future. After all, we are talking about a seriously capable machine right out of the box, one that offers up copious amounts of supercharged power as-is – with the potential to make a whole lot more. The Challenger Hellcat can indeed be a great street machine or drag strip star, which is the case for this particular example.

This Dodge Challenger Hellcat is currently being built by the folks behind the Boosted Luckey YouTube channel, who are aiming to run it at this year’s TX2K26 – not to mention other series such as FL2K, the World Cup Finals, and various major drag racing events throughout 2026. TX2K is next up on the docket, however, so prep for that particular event is already underway, as we can see in this video.

The next step in this process involves mocking up the placement for the hot side of the twin turbo setup, which will utilize a pair of Precision 83/85 hair dryers, as well as getting them in place, fabricating all the necessary custom piping, and setting up the engine bay itself. It’s actually the first time our host has made charge pipes like this, and they aren’t perfectly symmetrical, but the setup looks pretty awesome, regardless.

From here, the next step is to weld all of this new piping together and get the turbos braced, after which all of the electrical work will need to be completed. This Challenger Hellcat is going to retain its air conditioning, too – we certainly can’t blame them there – as this will be a street machine in addition to one attempting to bring home wins at various events on the weekends.

Ultimately, the goal is to lay down over 2,000 horsepower at the wheels, and rip off 6-second quarter-mile passes with this rig, and it certainly looks to be well on its way to achieving those goals. There’s still bit of work to be done, but this project is on the home stretch as we speak, at least.
