Just a few days after breaking the 1,000 hp mark, the new six-cylinder engine from Stellantis goes even further. At Roadkill Nights 2026, a Dodge Charger SIXPACK tuned by the duo Brian Shull and Jonathan Rimbo reached 1,064 HP. This new record confirms, above all, the impressive potential of the new 3.0-liter Hurricane 6-cylinder engine.
Last week, we already told you about John O’Malley’s Dodge Charger. With a claimed power output of around 1,000 hp, this car had managed, above all, to win the race held on Woodward Avenue. But there was one important detail: the car that won the race wasn’t the most powerful one on the grid.
1,064 HP for the «Hurricane» 6-cylinder engine by Brian Shull and Jonathan Rimbo
In fact, it was the build by Brian Shull and Jonathan Rimbo—known on social media as UltraSRT and Applied Torque Solutions—that set the new dyno record: 1,064 HP, compared to approximately 1,000 HP for Boosted Motorsports.
Behind them, the other cars in the race gave a sense of the level of performance achieved at the event: Heavy D Sparks put out 900 HP, while Rob Dahm and Titan Motorsports were reported to have 800 HP.
This result is all the more spectacular when you consider where this engine comes from. The Hurricane is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six. In the new production Dodge Charger SIXPACK Scat Pack, its High Output version produces 550 ch. Dodge has also just unveiled A 600 HP upgrade for the Charger Super Bee. But the potential is much greater! Tuners are now able to achieve nearly double the original power output.
A power record, but not the win
On the track, however, this display of power wasn't enough. Brian Shull and Jonathan Rimbo's Charger faced off against the one from Titan Motorsports and lost by just 0.003 seconds.
This tiny difference can be explained, in part, by the unique format of the race. The team explained that they discovered the track was only 330 feet long—about 100 meters, or nearly one-sixteenth of a mile. However, the car had been developed in a very short time with an eighth-of-a-mile race in mind. As a result, the Dodge Charger was unable to immediately harness its full power at the start. According to the driver, it was especially during the second half of the acceleration that the 1,064 HP Hurricane began to close the gap on its opponent. Victory ultimately went to John O’Malley and Boosted Motorsports, whose Charger Hurricane produced approximately 1,000 HP.
From 550 to 1,064 HP: How far will the Hurricane go?
This new figure is, however, merely symbolic. A few months ago, Morgan Evans was already making an impression with about 800 HP derived from a Hurricane engine installed in a former Dodge Ram. Boosted Motorsports then pushed the power output to around 1,000 HP. We’re now at 1,064 HP. We’re still in the same power range as a Lamborghini Revuelto with a 1,015 HP V12 engine or a Ferrari 849 Testarossa with a 1,050 HP V8 engine.
And the tuners don’t seem to be done yet. The team behind the 1,064 HP Dodge Charger acknowledges that there’s still a lot of work to be done to properly harness all that power and has already announced further development. For an engine tasked with making people forget the legendary HEMI V8s in the United States, the Hurricane is starting to make a strong case for itself. And from a European perspective, the same question inevitably arises: what could this six-cylinder engine have achieved under the hood of a European Stellantis car… like an Alfa Romeo built on the STLA Large platform? It’s still better than no car at all.
