Last summer, when Ram announced that the Hemi's comeback was just the beginning, we asked company executives whether we'd see the return of factory-backed power upgrades for the now-iconic V8. The answer, delivered with a smile and maybe the hint of a wink, was something along the lines of "stay tuned." Well, our patience has been rewarded. Starting this fall, you can order your 2027 Ram Rumble Bee with an extra shot of pure, unadulterated horsepower. Whether you opt for the 5.7, 6.4, or supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat, there's a new Mopar Direct Connection supercharger package that unlocks even more oomph (more than 900, if you start with the Hellcat)—without sacrificing your factory warranty. Mopar says it's aiming for more than 600 horsepower on 5.7-liter Rumble Bee, over 700 horsepower on 6.4-liter Rumble Bee 392 (including the Track Pack, of course), and over 900 horsepower on Hellcat-powered Rumble Bee SRT. If installed by a Mopar-certified technician, they do not impact the factory five-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, the announcement confirmed.

A new Ridetech kit both lowers the Rumble Bee and offers 24-way adjustable damping, and a new Magnaflow cat-back kit will give the Rumble Bee's exhaust even more bark. Mopar says the suspension kit should sticker for $4,590, and the Magnaflow exhaust for $1,599 on the 5.7-liter Rumble Bee or $2,299 on the 392. The SRT model checks in at $2,399. You know the old saying: You gotta pay to play. Packages for the 5.7-liter Hemi will begin to trickle into the supply line starting late this year; 392 and SRT owners will have to wait for early 2027. Got a story tip?
