Ever since the Hellcat hit the media by storm a couple years ago, the thought of dropping that 707 horsepower supercharged Hemi into anything and everything has been on the minds of plenty of gearheads. Aside from the SRT Challenger and Charger models getting the 6.2 liter Hemi, the teasing of a Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcat came about and there was a collective jaw-drop from patrons of the Pentastar.

Still, we yearned for more, and despite our own teasing of a Hellcat-powered Chrysler 300, some burnouts, and rumor-mill thoughts of a RAM truck, the buck seemed to stop at the potent Trackhawk. Then FCA headed out to Moab in a Jeep Wrangler Trailcat that wore a sublime coat with the heart of the Hellcat Hemi and once again the excitement created a social media tsunami.

Well, buckle your seatbelts and get ready for the next chapter in “what can we put the Hellcat Hemi in”, because Dallas Speed Shop (DSS) has been working with our friends at Kooks Headers to deliver a treat of Hellacious proportions to SEMA this November.

Taking full advantage of a set of Kooks long-tube headers for the otherworldly Hemi, DSS has dropped the supercharged Hellcat engine into a regular cab RAM truck and appropriately named it “Hellfire”. But 707 horsepower is just the red key fob, Hellfire spits out 775 horsepower – perhaps an orange keyfob shooting the Kooks flames is in order?

But knowing the guys at DSS and their penchant for power and style, the buck didn’t stop there. Nosiree, DSS enlisted the help of Forgeline to add some distinction to the rolling stock. The FF3 wheels are a custom-made 3-piece wheel with matte Transparent Red centers with a Black Pearl powder coated shell. The 22×11.5-inch Heritage Series wheels are wrapped in Continental tires, and are brought to a stop with a set of Rotora carbon ceramic brakes with 8-piston calipers up front and 4-piston calipers in the rear.

“The goal with this build was all about what ifs”, said Mike White of Dallas Speed Shop. “What if the guys at Ram decided to build a regular cab with a Hellcat along the lines of the old Ford Lightning. That was a question we wanted to answer. Sport trucks have a long history and manufacturers have sort of abandoned the whole idea. We simply feel that there’s still a huge demand for performance oriented sport trucks. So we’re building what we feel is the ultimate version by today’s standards.”

Pulling from the parts bin, White sourced a Hellcat crate engine from FCA. DSS plans to display Hellfire in the Kooks Headers booth, with all sorts of wide-body fender flare goodness all dressed up with carbon fiber splitters and an adjustable rear wing. While we can only give you a tease of this demonic beast of a sport truck, rendered by our good friend Kris Horton, you can be sure we’ll bring you all the details with our coverage from SEMA, and more details about those long-tube Hellcat Hemi headers from Kooks Headers.
