I'm wondering if a hell cat supercharger will fit my 2016 Ram R/T, the guy selling the supercharger claims it fits a 5.7 or a 6.4. Can someone help me out?

Not sure if a true Hellcat supercharger, which is designed for a 6.2L Hellcat engine, will fit a 6.4 or a 5.7. Its not originally designed to, thats for sure.

If he literally said "Cherokee 5.7 or 6.4" like it states in your other thread, he's probably yanking your chain. The Grand Cherokee had the options, but the Cherokee never did. If he doesn't pay attention to details like Cherokee vs Grand Cherokee, or worse, doesn't know the difference, I wouldn't deal with him.

The Hellcat's headunit will not fit on any 6.4L, 6.1L, or 5.7L heads. The only way to get it to work is to run a set of Thitek heads that have been machined for the 6.2L's head port and bolt pattern. There is also a difference in the offset of the pulleys from the engine block
