High-Performance Crankshafts
Our high-performance crankshafts are the foundation of serious power. These components transfer the force your pistons create and turn it into real movement, and they have to hold strong when boost, RPM, and torque all hit at once.
We stock aftermarket crankshafts and Dodge crankshaft kits built for HEMI and Hellcat platforms, each selected by the team that knows what real performance takes.
Aftermarket Crankshafts That Handle High RPM and Boost Levels
Aftermarket crankshafts built for high RPM operation must stay rigid, control flex, and maintain journal stability when cylinder pressure spikes.
In high-output HEMI engines and Hellcat builds, crank deflection leads to bearing wear, oiling issues, and lost power.
That’s why every crankshaft we offer is selected for strength, oil control, and clean rotation at speed. These high-performance crankshafts keep your Dodge build together under boost, heat, and wide-open throttle.
Why Dodge Crankshaft Kits Matter for Power and Reliability
A high-performance build is only as strong as its rotating assembly. Dodge crankshaft kits support long-term power by giving your engine the strength and consistency it needs at its core.
These parts carry every ounce of torque your pistons create, so selecting the right crank is critical to peak output and lasting durability.
Billet and Forged Options Engineered for HEMI Torque
Torque loads on HEMI engines stress the crankshaft at every degree of rotation. Our billet and forged aftermarket crankshafts are cut for strength, not convenience.
Forged cranks use dense grain structures that reduce the chance of twisting or cracking under sudden load. Billet options go a step further, offering cleaner geometry and more material in critical areas. We stock both for Hellcat and HEMI builds that make serious power and demand reliable output.
Balanced Crankshafts That Improve NVH and Engine Longevity
Unbalanced crankshafts transfer vibration across the block, leading to premature wear and unpredictable behavior at high RPM.
Every high-performance crankshaft we offer is balanced to reduce NVH and maintain smooth rotation under load. This keeps bearings, rods, and mains in line, lowers stress on hardware, and extends overall engine life.
Our Dodge crankshaft kits come ready to support engines that need to stay alive under high-speed cycles and tight tolerances.

FAQs About Hellcat Crankshaft Upgrades and Engine Builds
Get your questions about Hellcat crankshaft upgrades answered through our FAQs below.
What crankshaft upgrades are recommended for a Hellcat engine build?
A Hellcat crankshaft upgrade should include a forged or billet option rated for high boost and sustained RPM. We recommend high-performance crankshafts that support the added stress of power adders and aggressive tuning without compromising durability.
Are aftermarket crankshafts compatible with factory Dodge engine blocks?
Yes. Most aftermarket crankshafts are machined to OE specs and fit factory Dodge blocks with proper bearing clearances. Our Dodge crankshaft kits match HEMI platforms and can be installed without custom modifications.
How do I know when to replace my crankshaft?
Visible wear on journals, excessive endplay, or signs of cracking call for immediate replacement. High-mileage HEMI builds or those running power adders should inspect crankshafts regularly and consider upgrading to a high-performance crankshaft for long-term reliability.
