Move over Hellcat; there’s a new Sheriff in town. The new boss is a Gen-III HEMI-based crate engine from Don Schumacher Racing (DSR) that produces 1,150 horsepower without breaking a sweat.

The DSR 1150 is based on the 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat; only it is bumped up to 7.0-liters – a legendary Mopar designation of 426 ci. Notable differences in the engine are the bore and stroke come in at 4.100 inches x 4.050 inches, using a Callies…
