Scarlette Gets a New Powerplant for 2026

Big changes are happening under Scarlette’s hood—and I’m stoked to finally share what we’ve been cooking up for the 2026 season.

After years of running hard on the stock 6.2L Hellcat engine, it’s time to level up. Scarlette’s getting a new motor, new blower, and a whole new attitude—because playing it safe just ain’t in the game plan anymore.

The Heart: A Built High Compression 392 HEMI

We’re saying goodbye to the factory Hellcat short block and making the jump to a fully built 392-based HEMI—and this ain’t your average 6.4. The new setup is high compression (12:1), custom spec’d for serious power and efficiency. We wanted more displacement, more squeeze, and a faster-burning combo that hits harder off the line and keeps climbing all the way through the traps.

Every inch of this motor is being hand-built by the team at Baily’s Hyperformance, who’ve been instrumental in keeping Scarlette running strong. These guys don’t just build motors—they build weapons. I trust them with my race cars, and this new setup is going to show exactly why.

The Boost: Magnuson Vengeance 2650

Of course, you can’t just throw boost at a combo like this and hope for the best. That’s why we’re ditching the factory blower and bolting up something nasty—enter the Magnuson Vengeance 2650.

We’ve officially partnered with Magnuson Superchargers to bring this build to life, and let me tell you… this blower is a beast. It moves serious air, stays efficient at high RPM, and is built for big power without the drama. From street hits to full pull passes, the Vengeance is going to help Scarlette make the kind of horsepower that turns heads and puts cars on the trailer.

Why the Change?

We’ve done a lot with the stock Hellcat setup—9-second slips, round wins, grudge match dubs—but if you want to keep climbing, you’ve gotta evolve. The new combo gives us:

• More torque down low

• Better efficiency at high boost

• Increased headroom for tuning

• And way more consistency under race-day pressure

It’s a smarter motor, a stronger motor, and most importantly—a Scarlette-certified motor.

What’s Next?

Right now, the new 392 is in the hands of Baily’s getting all the love it needs. Once it’s ready, we’ll be dialing in the Vengeance, firing her up, and doing some serious testing before race season kicks off. You’ll be seeing this combo on the strip, on the street, and definitely at events like TX2K26 and Streetcar Takeover.

2026 is the year Scarlette gets rowdier, faster, and badder than ever—and it all starts with this motor.

Let’s get to work. 🔧🔥
