Are you one of those enthusiasts who likes to make your entire build unique, or is it just the outside presentation? If you’re someone who likes to pop the hood at shows and cruise nights, then we speak the same language, and love the little details, as well.

Whether you’re coating the supercharger snout or changing the OE pulley, the first thing you need to do is remove the snout. The second thing you need to do is remove the pulley. There are lots of videos, but we went to Metco Motorsports for the solution.

The Hellcat Redeye engine is home, and it’s time for some clean up to make it look like new. The before and after is a good showing of what some elbow grease and determination will do for you.
