Seeing as not much new GT500 info has anyone seen any info on the 2019 Hellcat’s?

Saw that but no real info other than new hood. I’ll do some searching I’m sure there’s actual info on Hellcat.org

signing off on what? 
Ford just snuck in a couple more engine certifications with CARB. They now have a total of three, all of them being for the 3.5 or 3.7 engine. When the 5.2L supercharged engine shows is anyones guess but I suspect it will be months down the road.

Not going t be the same with-out Jamal H working for Ford........his talks about and with Carol Shelby were awesome !!!
Ford just had two more engines gain certification (2.0L, 2.3L) and were added to the CARB Executive Order list.

Interesting that the certification floodgates opened after Ford's announcement to slash much of the car lineup. Makes you wonder how many powerplants were developed and ready to go, only to be erased (or soon to be erased) by their latest move to appease "shareholders." Are corporate politics trumping economics or is it the other way around? Will the supercharged 5.2L engine make it past a two year run?

The SUVs will likely get both the 2.0/2.3 in various trim.
Ranger, bronco...
I wonder if they are launching the 500 as a 1/2 model year? Is it possible that Fords trying to up the power output as well? Could explain a delay in certification.
Or they paid California enough not to publish certification until a time and date of their choosing.

They know Tob is watching so they will wait till the last second.
That's funny.
A few years ago everyone was waiting for the TracKey to be released from FRPP and we learned that the lengthy delay had to do with certification that would allow the kit to be legal in California. It took longer than expected. I learned who was responsible for the calibration but still couldn't pin down a release date. I kept looking at the Executive Order list for aftermarket parts and when it finally showed up California was included. The funny thing was when Deysha from Ford Service said the following regarding all the inquiries...

Believe me they are not trying to up the power. Power is not a problem.
It's going to be a while. Again.
