The RAM 1500 TRX already earned its reputation as one of the most outrageous factory performance trucks ever built, but Hellion Turbo has taken the supercharged 6.2L HEMI platform to an entirely new level.
AutoEvolution recently featured Westen Champlin’s Hellion-equipped RAM TRX, known as “Carrot,” after the truck received Hellion’s compound-boost twin-turbo system. The result was a four-digit-horsepower monster that kept the factory supercharger in place while adding twin turbos for even more power, adjustability, and performance potential.
According to AutoEvolution, the twin-turbo TRX produced more than 900 horsepower to the wheels — roughly 1,100 horsepower at the crank — giving the already-wild off-road truck enough power to line up against a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for fun.
That kind of performance is exactly why Hellion developed its 2021+ RAM TRX Twin Turbo System.
Rather than removing the factory supercharger, Hellion’s TRX system uses a compound-boost design that turbocharges the inlet side of the blower. The turbos create the first stage of boost, while the factory supercharger delivers the second stage. This gives TRX owners the instant response and personality of the factory supercharged HEMI, combined with the adjustability and horsepower potential of a true twin-turbo system.
Hellion’s RAM TRX Twin Turbo System is built as a complete tuner kit with large 3-inch piping, multiple turbo options, twin Turbosmart Hypergate 45 wastegates, a Turbosmart Race Port bypass valve, a pre-programmed Turbosmart e-Boost3 controller, American-made stainless-steel piping, heavy-duty silicone hoses, stainless T-bolt clamps, and Hellion’s proven turbo oiling system.
The system is engineered for factory-style fitment, daily-drivable performance, and serious power growth. It installs without cutting or modifying the truck and can be adjusted from a mild boost increase to more than 1,600 rear-wheel horsepower with the right supporting combination.
For RAM TRX owners who want to keep the attitude of the factory Hellcat-powered truck while unlocking a much higher performance ceiling, Hellion’s twin-turbo system delivers the best of both worlds.
