2020 TaoTao Hellcat Performance Upgrades
Hello again! Ok I havent seen too many posts on performance upgrades on here so I figured I would start this thread.
I will post performance upgrades ive found, where I found them and how they performed. I hope others will follow suit and post upgrades they have found (that are still available) and give a review. |

PZ20 Carburator
Although everyone has suggested the VM22 unless you change the intake manifold you wont get more than 20mm anyway so i went with this $13 carb from amazon it is adjustable and has cheap jet kits available, but right out of the box with a slight adjustment to air/fuel screw it has added power and eliminated the bogging the factory carb would do at times. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NTX9X57...p_mob_ap_share Last edited by ViShOuS; 03-16-2020 at 05:21 PM. |

17 tooth 17mm front sprocket from Amazon.
Another cheap upgrade that has helped stretch the gears and added about 5mph to top end. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010UQK6NY...p_mob_ap_share Last edited by ViShOuS; 03-16-2020 at 05:22 PM. |

Airbox delete
K&N filter did not fit right in the box so I just did the delete. All I had to do was remove the box (2 screws) I didnt turn around the intake manifold yet and dont think i will i dont like having the air filter behind the front tire seems like a bad idea for dirt and even water if you get caught in the rain. DOES NOT FIT HELLCAT K&N airbox filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RAQNR0C...p_mob_ap_share Cheap filter that fits and has nipple for exhaust vent. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BNTSHW4...p_mob_ap_share I ordered K&N 62-1460 will update when installed Installed it today much better throttle response as always K&N does not disappoint! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00029WXUO...p_mob_ap_share Last edited by ViShOuS; 03-18-2020 at 02:17 PM. |

I just order the 6pin cdi that gets rid of the rpm limiter. Will let yall know
Installed it today noticed 0 difference before installing new K&N filter, but it is plug and play and cheap enough. With K&N filter much better throttle response. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UBTKWY4...p_mob_ap_share Last edited by ViShOuS; 03-18-2020 at 02:44 PM. |

Fender Delete https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NZS5YYY...p_mob_ap_share Tail Light (Recommend if doing fender delete or turn signals will be close to exhaust) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078JP27KV...p_mob_ap_share Flush front turn signals comming soon! |

Here’s the exhaust system I purchased for my HellCat!
There are a couple of mounting spots under the transmission to mount the muffler. Enjoy the Ride!

Thanks! It does Suck! I have Parts laying around to install on my HellCat, but I can’t do anything!
On the good side, it’s been over a week since the surgery and I have 10 days until I go see the surgeon for follow-up. Enjoy the Ride!
