“Gimme fuel! Gimme fire! Gimme that which I desire!” is poetry by Metallica that speaks to every gearhead. But, any engine builder will be quick to point out that the “power of that poetry” is actually limited; limited by the chemistry of combustion; limited by thin air.

Because the key to increasing the power output of the Challenger SRT Demon’s supercharged HEMI, or any engine for that matter, is a function of how much cool air you can get in the engine. To maximize the Demon’s full potential, SRT has added the largest functional “Air Grabber” cold air intake hood ever installed on a production vehicle, a significantly larger air box that is sealed and ducted to the hood scoop, and two illuminated functional “Air Catcher” headlamps.

All told, the added airflow means the Challenger Demon's air intake temperatures are 30 degrees cooler than the Hellcat's. Cooler means more dense. More dense means more power. Gimme fuel, gimme fire, baby.
