For more displacement, SRT engineers bored out the diameter of the cylinders in the HEMI by 3.5 millimeters each in order to increase the total displacement to 6.1 liters from 5.7 liters. Compression ratio was also increased to 10.3:1 from 9.6:1, increasing engine efficiency and power. Cylinders are honed with torque plates to ensure a truer bore, to reduce friction and increase power. Engine breathing was increased with new higher-flow cylinder heads, a specially designed intake manifold, and exhaust headers with individual tubes encased in a stainless steel shell, all unique to the 6.1-liter HEMI engine. Larger-diameter valves and reshaped ports in the heads allow for maximized air flow. The intake manifold was designed with larger diameter and shorter runners for higher-speed tuning. Exhaust runners allow increased gas flow while maintaining fast catalyst light-off, while adding 12 horsepower over the 5.7-liter engine’s cast manifolds. Exhaust is routed through a large diameter (2.75-inch vs. 2.5-inch) exhaust system with 3.5-inch chrome tips. To further increase horsepower, performance-oriented camshaft profiles were developed to allow more air in and out of the cylinders, as well as manage a higher engine speed. A billet steel, high-strength camshaft features more overlap and lift for better performance. Silent chain, 5-bearings. Bi-metal material except number 3 Babbit. Deep-fillet rolled journals for improved fatigue life, press fit damper to minimize torsional vibration. SRT engineers increased the HEMI’s peak power output engine speed by nearly 20 percent to 6,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) from 5,000 rpm. Intake and exhaust valve stems are hollow, and the exhaust valve stems are filled with sodium to help dissipate heat more efficiently. The high-performance SRT 6.1-liter HEMI is strengthened with redesigned components, including a reinforced engine block, forged micro-alloy steel crankshaft with retuned damper, high-strength powdered metal connecting rods and floating-pin pistons. The pistons are cooled by oil squirters, aimed at the underside of each piston to aid piston cooling for engine durability. A special oil pump pressure relief valve is added to accommodate the squirter oil flow. The oil pan and windage tray are modified to manage oil return to the pan sump at high engine speeds and improve power.

| Type and Description | 6.1-Liter, HEMI® V-8, 90-degree V-type, liquid-cooled. The development of the SRT 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 started with a world-class foundation – the Chrysler Group’s 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine. From there, a team of SRT powertrain engineers integrated race-proven engine technologies to create the powerful new SRT 6.1-liter HEMI. | |
| Bore x Stroke | 4.055 x 3.58 (103 mm x 90.9 mm). To get more air in and out of the cylinders, SRT engineers bored out the diameter of each cylinder by approximately 3.5 millimeters in order to increase the total displacement from 5.7 liters to 6.1 liters. Cylinders are honed with torque plates to ensure a truer bore, to reduce friction and increase power. | |
| Camshaft | A billet steel, high-strength camshaft features more overlap and lift for better performance. Silent chain, 5-bearings. Bi-metal material except number 3 Babbit. Deep-fillet rolled journals for improved fatigue life, press fit damper to minimize torsional vibration | |
| Coolant Capacity | 14 qt. (13.25L) | |
| Compression Ratio | 10.3:1 | |
| Construction | Deep-skirt cast-iron block with cross-bolted main bearing caps, aluminum alloy heads with hemispherical combustion chambers | |
| Crankshaft | Nodular cast iron, tuned assembly vibration damper, 6 bi-metal bearings. The crankshaft is forged from micro-alloy steel and rotates in tri-metal main bearings for high-load capability. The crankshaft damper is retuned for higher engine speeds. | |
| Cylinder heads | Cylinder head ports are designed with larger cross-sectional area. This allows 11 percent higher flow in the intake ports, and 13 percent higher flow in the exhaust ports. | |
| Displacement | 370 cu. in. (6059 cu. cm) | |
| Emission Controls | Dual close-coupled three-way catalytic converters, quad heated oxygen sensors and internal engine features | |

12 / 15 | |
| Firing Order | 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 (drivers side, from front of engine 1,8,4,3. Passenger side, from front of engine 6,5,7,2) | |
| Fuel Injection | Sequential, multi-port, electronic, returnless. Fuel injector flow capacity is increased by 14 percent over the 5.7-liter engine. Electronic throttle control is shared with the 5.7-liter HEMI, but breathes through a revised high-flow air cleaner box outfitted with a tuned resonator delivering a deep performance sound character (and good for an extra eight horsepower). | |
| Fuel Requirement | Premium 91 octane (R+M)/2 recommended | |
| Headers / Exhaust | Individual tubes encased in a stainless steel shell. Exhaust runners allow increased gas flow while maintaining fast catalyst light-off, while adding 12 horsepower over the 5.7-liter engine’s cast manifolds.The 6.1L exhaust system uses two catalytic converters located in the front exhaust pipe, and a single muffler and a duel tailpipe/resonator assembly. The front exhaust pipe/catalytic converter assembly is a hydra-form thin wall air gap design. This design is used to reduce heat, noise and improve emissions. | |
| Knock sensors | To control the combustion process, SRT engineers fine-tuned the engine management system using dual wide band knock sensors with premium fuel. | |
| Lubrication | Pressure feed – full flow filtration | |
| Manifolds | Continuing its air-pumping efficiency, engine breathing is improved with specially designed intake and exhaust manifolds. The cast aluminum intake manifold is designed with shorter, larger-diameter and tapered runners for high-speed tuning. Internal runners are core-dipped to smooth the runner finish and improve air flow. The exhaust manifolds are equipped with ball flange outlets to assure a tight seal and strain free connections. | |
| Max. Engine Speed | 6400 rpm (electronically limited) | |
| Oil Capacity | 7 qt. (6.6L). The oil pan and windage tray are modified to manage oil return to the pan sump at high engine speeds and improve power. | |
| Oil Pressure | Minimum, at curb idle speed, 04 psi (25 kPa) / @ 3000 rpm, 25-110 psi (170 – 758 kPa). | |
| Oil squirters | Aimed at the underside of each piston, added to aid piston cooling for engine durability. A special oil pump pressure relief valve is added to accommodate the squirter oil flow. | |
| Pistons and rods | Larger-diameter, flat-top pistons with high-load capability are specified to handle the SRT 6.1-liter HEMI’s compression ratio, which was increased to 10.3:1 from 9.6:1. Connecting rods are redesigned and make use of higher-strength powder metal material. New floating piston pins are introduced to handle higher loads. | |
| Power (SAE net) | 420 bhp @ 6200 rpm | |
| Spark plugs | Air-fuel mixtures are ignited by two spark plugs, with platinum tips, in each cylinder. Spark plugs are fired by individual coils for each cylinder, sitting on isolated cylinder head covers, which are adorned with a traditional HEMI black wrinkle finish. | |
| Hydraulic tappets | Body Diameter 0.8420 – 0.8427 in. (21.387 – 21.405 mm) | |
| Throttle body | 80mm (inlet 3.25″ inside diameter / 3-3/8″ outside diameter) | |
| Torque (SAE net) | 420 lb.-ft. @ 4800 rpm | |
| Valve system | Pushrod-operated overhead valves, 16 valves, eight conventional hydraulic lifters, all with roller followers. Intake valves feature hollow stems and 2 mm larger heads compared to the 5.7L engine, allowing more air flow. The hollow exhaust valve stems are filled with sodium to dissipate heat efficiently. Premium valve springs with external dampers enhance the valvetrain and enable higher engine speed operation to 6,400 rpm. The valvetrain system enhancements allow the peak output engine speed to increase to 6,000 rpm from 5,000 rpm – a 20 percent increase. | |
| Valve head diameter | Intake 2.07 – 2.08 in. (52.67 – 52.93 mm) / Exhaust 1.57 – 1.60 in. (40.37 – 40.63 mm) | |

| SRT Transfer Case | ||
| Type and Description | SRT NV146. Active full-time single-speed with variable torque, solid electronically controlled clutch pack in center differential and open front and rear differentials. The NV146 transfer case provides On-Demand Active Four-Wheel Drive for optimum traction in a wide range of conditions. The transfer case uses the electronically controlled clutch pack to distribute between 0% and 50% of the available torque to the front axle. The NV146 electronics provide an active system because it can anticipate and prevent slip.The NV146 single-speed transfer case provides the following benefits:
|
|
| Operation | Controls for the NV146 transfer case active clutch (torque biasing device) are located in the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) and communicated on the CAN C bus. The FDCM monitors wheel speeds at the front and rear axles to detect wheel slippage. A complete vehicle dynamics model calculates slip at each tire for given vehicle-operating conditions. The clutch pack in the transfer case is engaged to minimize the speed difference between the front and rear axle, resulting in torque transfer to the axle with higher traction. The electronically controlled wet clutch pack uses an electric motor to actuate a sector plate. The sector plate actuates a clutch lever that applies normal force to the multi-disc wet clutch pack bridging the differential. The clutch discs are alternately splined to the front and rear driveshafts. When normal force is applied to this clutch pack, torque is transferred to equalize speed differences between front and rear axles. | |
