Honestly, it would probably be cheaper to just purchase a Ford Raptor.

I was pretty sure they did. Thanks for confirming!
OP has a 5.7L, do you know if they have a similar setup on them in the HD's?

I am a little worried about the tranny, anyone know exactly what the 65rfe trannys can handle? Or is there one that I could get that would be able,to hold up the the horsepower and handle towing anywhere from 5 to 8 ton every ones in a while?Might need to get a custom drive shaft also. Not to mention your tranny will be smoked out dead. My advice if you got the cash is a super charger and a back up tranny.
Also I'm really not impressed with the raptor since the specs on them aren't much higher when compared to what comes stock in the rams, only 26 more horsepower and 34 more fl-lbs of torque.. I could get that easily out of my current engine with just a few upgrades. So there is little chance id ever want to by a raptor.Raptor to Hellcat doesn't even compare. I'm sure you know this.

So they had to do an intake / exhaust on a Hellcat?One of the biggest hurdles came when bypassing the secondary fuel pump that the Challenger was designed for and tricking the computer to sip from a single mechanical fuel pump. “Needless to say, a lot of rewiring and a reflash had to happen,” Mike says. “Luckily, our top tech here at Dallas Dodge, Glen Pribenow was up to the job.”
Many physical modifications had to happen. The engine oil cooler had to be relocated, and the oil circulator was bypassed in favor of a manual pump from Magnuson Superchargers. Even the oil pan fought them and had to be modified to fit its new home. They added a K&N true cold-air intake, and some Kooks headers and exhaust to let the Hellcat inhale and exhale a little easier.
