and other customer and company related happenings. If you are also interested in the latest news
from the Hellion Racing team, please check out the racing section, as there will be updates
after each event posted in that section.
The latest thing to come from Hellion's shop is the insane "Hellraiser" Twin Turbo kit for 96-04 Mustangs.
This kit posseses a very unique feature: While it is designed to work like any of our other, single turbo kits,
this kit is also compatible for use with a Roots-style supercharger in place, creating the first mail order
aftermarket compound boost system in the Mustang Community. This system keeps the low end torque
of a supercharger, but supplies it with the top end rush of a turbo system. The goal for this system was to
create the most average power, also known as power under the curve. This useable power is what
creates the advantage for this kit, allowing good low-end response with a screaming top end charge.
Big Power from the '03-'04 Cobra kit.
Nate Phillips and Ben Ripstein have both been tearing up the streets, tracks, and competition with their
2003 & 2004 Cobra's. Both cars were invited to participate in the 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords magazine
"King of the Street" challenge, in Bowling Green, KY. This competition consists of several tests to find out
who has the baddest street stang in North America. Nate rocked the dyno portion of this competition with a
record-shattering 917rwhp out of his Hellion powered Cobra. This power level smashed the old record of
851hp, set by a twin turbo '03 Cobra the year before.
In the dragstrip portion of the event, Ben Ripstein rose above all the other competitors when his
Hellion powered '03 Cobra layed down a 10.31 @ 132mph to claim the top spot. This run was made on
drag radials, with limited testing or tuning time prior to the event. After getting the combination more
sorted out, Ben went back to the track and recorded several runs in the 9.80's at more than 140 mph.
Congratulations are due for both cars and drivers, great job.
Israel from West Side Custom Sound
Here's a video that Israel from West Side Custom Sound let us know about that features his
Hellion powered Cobra rocketing to a 6.42 @ 114 in the 1/8 mile. This time is equivalent to
about a 10.01 in the 1/4 mile, and this was the car's first pass! Here's the video:
UPDATE!!!
Israel re-sets his personal best with his Hellion powered '03 Cobra,
running a 9.31 @ 147.22 mph.
Mark Larson runs 8.95 @ 154mph with his Hellion powered '03 Cobra!

The March, 2007 issue of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords features an article on Hellion customer

Hellion Power Systems turbo kit for the Mach 1 Mustang. The feature can be seen at Muscle Mustangs and
Fast Fords' website, or in a back ordered issue. Contratulations go out to Eddy from all of us here
at Hellion Power Systems for putting together a truly beautiful and amazing car, great job Eddy.
