FYI - I'm on record as not being a fan of the LT4 and it 1.7L blower. Chevy seriously needs to stop the tiny blow crap.

The biggest problem the Hellcat has is a lack of traction..275 wide rubber is woefully inadequate even for a 485 HP car, much less one with 200+ more HP and buckets more torque.
Blaq and I had this discussion earlier..most of the Hellcats ills would be solved with wider/lighter wheels with more rubber. Going to a sticky 305 square set up would make massive improvements, but that's on a consumer level.
I may be behind the times..I fully admit that, but I think $2,500-$3,000 in new wheels/rubber is cheaper than replacing the blower on a ZL1.
And I fully agree with the small blower crap being a problem..it seems to me that a larger blower turning slower with less heat would be better than a small blower spinning to the moon generating lots of heat...
