Does the 2019 Challenger Scatpack Shaker make more power?

The widebody also has he heat extractor's on the hood, like the hellcat, that could also make a difference.

[@blackice7408]

For the 345 hemi (except the 392), its completely useless because its been found that the stock intake for the rt engine is more than enough. With the shaker, you will actualy experience hotter intake temps because the engine bay is completely sealed "no venting", the shaker scoop sits directly over the engine - trappong the intense heat in, and the intake filter is not completely sealed. But if you open the headlight air intake, air will flow straight to the filter and will help reduce intake air temps

[@chuckiegsdodgegarage7422]

You can also knock out the Drives side plastic cap in the center of the head lgt. Also there is a cut out on the bottom front side of the air box just for this. So now the shaker has 3 air ports.

[@jasonvelez7317]

I agree with the "extractor" logic. More, more fuel, more whatever doesn't equal more performance. It's about balance. Shaker has more intake air but that air is going into a constricted hotter space. Great test guys! Thanks for demo-ing this.

[@markurbancowboy]

The widebody's stock air filter box is closed and keeps more heat out - it's basically a better system for keeping engine heat out than the open filter box system which might look better but doesn't keep the heat out as good.

[@nrd515]

Best bang for the buck is the Hellcat airbox and filter with the pipe going to the headlight hole. I got the box, tube, and filter for about $85, and it took about 5 min to install. same peak temp as stock non-shaker, but the temp drops quicker and it ends up a little lower once it bottoms out. I added a Genpartsco screen in the headlight hole to keep leaves and junk out. I think it was $20.

[@joesnowb]

I have a 2018 scat pack with the normal RT hood. The average air intake temp to outside air temp was 10 degrees. I installed the hellcat air box and headlight tube and now the average difference is 5 degrees.

[@vegaswould]

the shaker airbox technically has 4 intake points. the 2 you mentioned, the bottom of the airbox, as well as the top that's exposed allowing you to see the filter. don't let that "rubber seal" fool you. it is there for looks. it doesn't seal to the hood. Heat soak is a very big issue with shaker models because of that. Most of that filter is ingesting a lot of engine bay heat. I used some cheap weather stripping for a temporary fix. made a HUGE difference with air intake temps. i'm thinking about making a more permanent seal with some flex seal "sculpting". I've had the pleasure of being able to talk to an SRT engineer. He told me that the scat pack shaker model makes 15 more horsepower at 45 mph. He said the T/A hood makes "a little more", but did not say how much. I assume this info is disregarding that huge airbox problem on shaker models. What do you think?

[@thafoehammer143]

You can get a hellcat headlight intake tube. It pulls air through the headlight into that hole in the front of your air box.

The CAI on the shaker has a spot for a Hell Cat intake setup and the part only costs about $50, without that setup your sucking in more hot air from the engine bay rather than through the headlight inlet like on a hellcat.

I also live in a hot and humid area (DAs run 2k+ at sea level) in the summer. I have a '18 scat (no shaker) with the HC box/air tube and HC Mahle LX3482 filter and as long as the car is moving it runs +5 to10 deg. over ambient even in 95/95 heat and RH. During winter with cool dry air it runs

[@yeahsure8323]

At idle the shaker had a lower temp and that’s honestly more important

[@99Eternal]

The widebody's hood is keeping his engine compartment cooler the shaker is instead piping that air directly to the intake resulting in more air but at slightly higher temperatures. The shaker obviously would make more power from cold start to heat soak and although warmer it is still getting more air once the engine is at temp so it would be close at that point. Had the cars been cold started and normally driven without a 10 min heatsoaked idle I think temperature wise the results would be different.

[@microminiskirt]

So get a regular Scat Pack with Dynamic Package option and that should take care of the larger tires in rear so rear end doesn't break loose. Also what about the adaptive suspension option? The website does not specify which hood the Scat Pack comes with unless you pick the "Shaker" option for $2,200 or the $6,000 "Widebody" option.

The adaptive suspension is not going to be of much use to you on the street. It just allows you to stiffen the suspension. The drag mode of the 1320 would be cool but the sport and track modes stiffen the rear and which is not really what you want for a good launch for a good 0-60. Its more for cornering improvement.

[@microminiskirt]

On the 2019 I understand that the Hellcat headlight intake does not fit these models anymore. Headlight is different now.

So to equalize the "Shaker" option and get more cool air to engine area remove both (2) caps on both headlights to get cooler air wheras to equalize the standard scatpack hood that has as 2 heat extractors on the top of the hood? Or can you hook up that one CAI intake to the drive side light and direct it to the open air filter for the cold air direct to air filter and have that one passenger side light open for cold air to cool engine so then the car with shaker will get 2 sources of air from top and from front driver air intake hooked into open air filter?

I talked to an SRT engineer about the stock cold air intakes. He told me that the shaker on a scat pack adds 15 horsepower at 45 mph over the standard scat pack. He also told me that the T/A 392 cold air intake "is a little better" although he didn't say how much better. He mentioned that if you add that headlight tube on the shaker model, it's just as good as the T/A cold air intake. That being said.... My personal experience with the shaker doesn't quite seem like it makes a difference as the heat soak is incredible here in Las Vegas. Sealing that shaker airbox to the hood makes a HUGE difference on air intake temps. heat soak is still a problem, but not nearly as bad as before. I used standard weather stripping to seal the airbox to the hood. I'll eventually move to a better solution, but it's a great temporary fix for the shaker's "Hot Air Intake" system. I think the main issue with the shaker is, all the "shaker parts" get pretty hot and heat up the cool air on the way to the airbox. I added thermal tape on the bottom of my shaker and it made absolutely no difference. maybe a thermal blanket for exhaust might work better, but it's hard to say. that tube going from the shaker to the airbox needs to be wrapped too.That widebody comes with the hellcat hood, which vents the heat from under the hood really well, which would help the heat soak issue a bit too.

[@microminiskirt]

"That widebody comes with the hellcat hood, which vents the heat from under the hood really well, which would help the heat soak issue a bit too". THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT. So if I do a "Build your own" on the Dodge website and on the Scat Pack Challenger don't select the "shaker" option or the "Wide Body" option which hood do I get on the regular Scat Pack Challenger? Is it a non-functional old SRT hood? OR Am I better off selecting the 1320 Challenger Scat Pack even though I won't be doing that kind of driving burnouts (computer program) but need the fastest 0-60 time to get onto the freeway ramp? Is it a waste to order the 1320 Challenger Scat Pack for this kind of driving on the street using the factory all season tires?

[@conspiracybrothergreene2969]

The hellcat hood is pulling more air out of the hood which is why it was on the hellcat. The shaker is more of a ram air system.

[@microminiskirt]

wHAT the difference between the shaker option scat pack Challenger and the 1320 Scat Pack Challenger? Which Challenger between these two will be faster getting on the freeway ramp (0-60 MPH) using the regular factory all season tires? The regular Scat Pack with Shaker option or without shaker option would have the "Dynamic Option"-larger wheel option. The 1320 has the air intake in the headlight up front? Note this car would be used for commuting so the drag race mode would not be used in the 1320 but in both cars (whether shaker option or no option ) the transmission would be left in "Drive". Also on that Scat Pack WB is that the factory Hellcat hood? If so perhaps that's why his car cooled down faster and more than the shaker because of those air extractors on the hood? Can you get that very same Hellcat hood on the regular Scat Pack without the Shaker option? Or does that Scat Pack Challenger come with a non functioning SRT hood?

[@99Eternal]

If you go on dodges site they list the additions each trim level brings. At least they did in 2018. The scat pack is the more street oriented trim the 1320 is more track oriented (1320ft = 1/4 mile). If you are never going to put the car in sport or track or drag mode or take it to the track then the scat pack is probably better for you. If you get the scat pack you will not want the smaller tires. I got dynamics package on mine and the 275 pzero nero are still not enough on the rear. So keep that in mind, because the tires on the rear are probably the best upgrade you can do to improve 0-60. You will want 305 drag radials on the rear if you want the best 0-60 on the street, and you'll need wider wheels than the dynamics package offers to fit them properly. Guys are putting 305s on the oem hellcat(dynamics pkg) wheels and they arent getting any more rubber on the ground than the 275s cuz they bulge on the 9.5" wheels. This will also cause them to wear unevenly and prematurely. Factory Reproductions makes identical wheels in 10.5" which is probably the route ill be going on mine.

[@scarface9617]

My in-law has the 1320! the car comes factory with a set of drag slicks on the car, don't come with regular all season tires.. and the suspension is what makes the car, it has very soft suspension, it's just like the demons.. ~"it's definitely a dragstrip car, the 0-60 is much faster and the 1/4 also.. that's what the 1320'.. is made for!"

[@microminiskirt]

The SP WB Challenger got lower temps because of the two air extractors on top of the hood. The shaker Challenger just has a plain flat hood for no hot air to escape or to get in cool air to engine for cooler temps. Also since air filter is not in a fully sealed box some of that hot air from engine compartment gets into airbox to contribute to higher temps. The closed airbox keeps the heat out better. Does this all make sense????? Also note is there any way to make that center air intake fuctional that's in the middle of those two heat extractor vents on top of hood of SPWB Challenger? Or is that center air intake already functional along with those 2 functional air extractors?

You're forgetting his car has active engine bay cooling from that 2019 hood, and pulls in air mostly from under the car. The shaker pulls it in mostly from the engine bay, and just above the hood , which is in the sun and already hot from the radiant engine heat. Its also worth mentioning that the shaker hood is really more for looks than function when you consider its inlet design. Its by no means a cold air intake. I dont feel 'surprising' is the word here... Try it with an earlier model challenger like the 2015-2018 with the previous style hoods that dont have so much venting.

Own a 2017 shaker watched tubes for a couple of years on these cars , then the wide body which Dodge should have done all along came out , mines a play car around the house a six speed , with that said , you really want to drag race these cars , u need a widebody auto , but for me the shaker six speed has to be in there , that’s old school !

I bought a used 2013 mustang gt that already had a cold air system. I bought a used stock air box and picked up almost a tenth and over one MPH in the 1.4. Those cold air sysyetems pull in engine heat and are useless.

[@tvfilthyfern]

Probably a cheaper air intake. Good cold airs need a tune and a heat guard.

[@fastguned]

@@tvfilthyfern Almost in all cases people install a cold air system at the same time as a tune and therefore they think the cold air helped but it's actually the tune.

[@tomb8100]

Misleading title.... should be relating to intake temp not does it make more power. Just my 2 cents...

[@quinnjim]

Cooler air is more dense and helps create more power.

[@alechernandez5506]

I wouldn't have clicked if the title talked about intake temperature lol

[@HoldenMcRotch]

Great video! Wow, those transmission temps seem pretty high.😳 I wonder how high they go? Looks like maybe 200° max?

[@tylermartin9474]

Should block off the 2nd intake from the engine bay so it’s only sucking from the shaker probably would drop more

[@MTBRiderChick]

The shaker hood brought the air temp down faster at first but, I feel the reason that the Wide Body actually ran cooler is because of the Frontal area and airflow of the Widebody Fascia in conjunction with the heat extractor hood on the Widebody actually does a much better job of keeping the ambient air temp. down in the entire engine compartment and that's where your extra 5 degrees of temp is coming front because both car are grabbing a good portion of air from the local engine compartment area. You lower the air temp in the engine compartment you ARE going see lower air inlet temps. I own a Scat Pack Shaker.

[@alfredoserralles5396]

Marina you are a genius!!!

[@brandonh9016]

Do challengers come with trans coolers?

[@markparadis5167]

Have you ever had any problems with the driveshaft carrier bearing or heard of other cars?

[@foodram4001]

Racer x why isn’t there a 10 speed charger or Challenger... why haven’t we got one yet ???????

[@r-shot8431]

Great Video.... Love the comparison - Great Video - you make some very good content. Keep it going brother

[@RacerX9]

R- SHOT Accessories ... I appreciate that my friend 🤜🔥🔥

[@KarrielynRacho]

Where did your friend get his powered by SRT grill badge been looking all over for one . All i can find is the sticker ones

[@Shelby_Moe5.2]

Make a video of the 2019 Charger Scat Pack vs the 19’ Challenger SP Shaker

[@RacerX9]

Moeez Malik .. might be an interesting comparison 👍

[@davidlay5445]

Did you have the signal light intake tube or just the open hole in the intake box?

[@doctordifferentialspeedsho9506]

How fast were you going. Do a dig or roll race and see who get the win. I’ll bet the shaker allowed more air in also. So probably needs to be moving faster for its intake system to work properly.

[@MrJesustrance]

Put the intake piece back on the hood and seal your filter box you’ll see it colder

[@nightowl32]

Interesting observation......how about hellcat to hellcat redeye?

[@Jeff-or6em]

I am 𝙾𝚁𝙳𝙴𝚁ing in couple weeks a 2020 Scat Pack Shacker Widebody 50th anniversary trim 😍 . Hopefully I can get 1 of the 490 available. Let see what pricing going be on them , maybe have to pay MSRP😡

[@fredwilliams7893]

How about the shaker vs the hell cat air box tube on a scat? I have that and wonder if that makes a difference than the stock scat pack air intake.

[@PamelaTheresa]

Cool video. I used to have a 2016 Shaker Scat with a 6M, traded it in for a 2019 1320. FYI, there is a snorkel tube you can buy online that will fit the square hole on the front of the shaker's airbox that connects it to the driver side inboard headlight just like the challenger Hellcat. That should reduce your air temps. Keep up the great work. I would love to see you do some real side by side compares with your shaker and a 1320. I saw the one you did at the track with the by who just bought his, but maybe if YOU did the driving against your wife, you in the 1320 and her in her shaker. I would love to see how they match up. I can say my 1320 is absolutely faster than my shaker scat was. Of course auto vs manual is a factor. But the 1320 HOOKS way better.

[@geeksauthority]

Great thought, I am planning to do that for my Shaker.

[@TheMickyd70]

I’ve been wanting a scat shaker for along time. Thinking about biting the bullet.

[@cfr3830]

One difference is his car has strait pipes which sheds more heat than the stock exhaust so you may try to find someone with stock car to compare

[@davidaaa6427]

Thanks for doing this video. 👍🏼

[@djpraze4420]

I’ve always wondered if it ever did anything, the Mach 1 was supposed to have one but Ford said “it wasn’t going to make any more power, but I’m pretty sure the aftermarket community will come out with something” I hate how some companies are tryna lean to the aftermarket community to do their work.

[@Retro89Dec]

Gotta do a new video with the widebody shaker

[@datboyyoungtripp9477]

Your video made me go buy this car I have one now lol

[@quickbrick2594]

Nice comparison buddy. I hadn't thought about the "Hellcat" hood with its additional heat extractors on the Widebody having an effect on IAT's at speed versus the Shaker which is essentially sealed off in terms of heat extraction, so maybe that is why the Shaker's IAT's aren't getting as low as the Widebody's when at speed? That said, if the heat extractors in the Hellcat style hood have that much of an effect on IAT's at speed, I am perplexed as to why that wouldn't translate at idle as well? Go figure...

[@scarface9617]

At idle, there is not enough airflow to extract "suck" the heat out of the engine bay!

[@bryce3956]

I wanted to get the Shaker package but I heard that the drain holes drain onto other parts of the vehicle including onto one of the belts. Is this an issue when driving in the rain or getting a carwash?

[@mdmuscle9464]

Great comparison video thanks for the data.

[@Saiyan4658]

RacerX, I am close to Fort Worth and would love to meet up sometime. Maybe do a small video with my stock Gomango Hellcat!

[@travistoole]

RacerX reminds me of Mr Anderson/Kennedy

[@scarface9617]

Yes... I always knew he look like somebody.. that's exactly who it is! He's a well-spoken guy!

[@davidaaa6427]

He’s very pleasant and enjoyable to watch and listen to!

[@dukewaldsmith2132]

Yes he does i was thinking the same thing I'm a huge wrestling, luxury n drag car fan... But where is Mr. Kennedy these days... Kennedy...Kennedy

[@willboyd8021]

I think you need to do that test again
