When the late-model Hemi engine hit the ground several years ago, lots of old guys and purists whined about combustion chamber shapes and other stuff that didn’t follow directly in the lineage of the legendary 426 Hemi from the 1960s and early 1970s. Luckily, hot rodders did what hot rodders do and started tweaking the motors and modifying them for more power. ProCharger is one of the leaders in that department and they’ve stepped up to sponsor the World’s Fastest HEMI Challenge, June 4-6, 2010, at Maple Grove Raceway. The event will happen during the 2nd annual shopHEMI.com Late-Model Shootout and the NMCA Muscle Car Nationals.

The event is open to cars, trucks, and SUVs powered by late-model Hemis, and coolly, ProCharger is offering up bonus money for anyone who can win their class running a ProCharger on their car. At the end of the event there will be a match race featuring the two quickest late-model-Hemi-powered machines on the grounds and ProCharger will pay additional bonus money to the winner or runner-up in that race if they have a ProCharger force-feeding their motor. 

Here’s the full release from ProCharger:

Continuing to lead the way with intercooled supercharger applications for the late-model EFI HEMI engines, ProCharger is sponsoring the World’s Fastest HEMI Challenge, June 4 – 6, 2010 at Maple Grove Raceway near Reading, PA.  This event is part of the 2nd annual shopHEMI.com Late-Model Shootout and the NMCA’s Muscle Car Nationals.

To see just who does have the fastest ProCharger-equipped late-model HEMI vehicle, ProCharger will award the “ProCharger Bonus” to winners in the Challenger, Charger, Magnum, 300, and Truck/SUV late-model HEMI classes if they are running a ProCharger supercharger. There will also be an awesome match race between the two overall fastest HEMI’s at the end of the event.  Bottom line: If any winner (or runner-up in the overall) has a ProCharger supercharger on their vehicle, ProCharger will pay the bonus.
