Anderson Composites Charger SRT Hellcat Jail Break Carbon Fiber Hood
 
While the Dodge Chargers SRT Hellcat Jail Break delivers impressive performance right off the showroom floor, shaving off some weight is an easy way to make the car even faster. To that end, Anderson Composites created a carbon-fiber hood for this car that adds style, functional cooling, and lighter weight all in one upgrade. “Dodge continues to release special edition Chargers; go-fast junkies can’t get enough and this carbon fiber hood feeds their appetite for both appearance and functionality. The carbon fiber hood includes a functional center scoop which directs air into the OE cold air intake box along with the twin heat extractor vents to reduce engine bay heat,” states Zach Bohn, brand manager. Created using the company’s vacuum-infused process, this hood’s scoop is molded in for durability and the entire hood is covered in a high-gloss gelcoat with UV inhibitors to ensure longevity.

ARP Wheel Studs
 
Any racer or performance enthusiast knows how crucial quality fasteners are to the longevity of a high-performance engine. The same, however, can be said for retaining wheels in a performance environment. ARP created premium-grade replacement wheel studs for factory and aftermarket applications to ensure that their wheels stay where they belong when they drop the hammer. Hewn from 8740 chrome-moly steel and heat-treated to a nominal tensile strength of 190,000 psi, these studs are 26 percent stronger than Grade 8 hardware. Moreover, the threads on these studs are rolled rather than cut to deliver 10 times the longevity.
