I put my Demon 170 on the Dyno.. How much Power?

Join RacerX in this exciting video as he tests the power of the Demon 170 on a dyno! Watch as he takes you behind the scenes at Jordan Performance and Racing to see just how much horsepower this beast makes to the tires. Will it live up to Dodge's claims of 1025 crank horsepower?

First dyno video I've seen of the 170 !

[@ridesharetrixter5206]

That Demon is a Beast. Congrats RacerX.

[@stevesabo5646]

That is just what I wanted to see what a beast can only get better with modification, I have a hellcat and it’s scary. Can only imagine what you have. Congratulations.

[@charlesmyers9765]

Why modify? Dodge knew what they were doing. Already badass. Leave it alone

[@sktona]

@@charlesmyers9765 shade tree mechanics know more than engineers, duh.

[@greebuh]

@@sktona So you're saying mods don't make power?

[@sktona]

@@greebuh most mods don’t do anything on regular engines. And this one’s optimized, you’re not bolting anything on that makes a realistic increase in power. Other than nitrous.

[@greebuh]

@@sktona so you think going full bolt on does nothing... 👍

[@dragvan1937]

So I have heard some people are saying that the demon 170 has been under rated for insurance reasons. I'm betting it has closer to 1100

[@RacerX9]

Certainly more than advertised

[@FWTE1969]

Sounds like dodge did the numbers game like they did the old schools. Marked it for less when it really could potentially be making more than that.

[@mik3ymomo]

What does an insurance company care between 1025 and 1100? lol

[@FWTE1969]

@@mik3ymomo you'd be surprised.

[@mik3ymomo]

@@FWTE1969I insured 5 cars in my collection and they base the rate off the cars values. They don’t care at all how much the cars make for power. It’s all about replacement value. Now these are limited use policies and not daily driven cars but I recently got a quote on a new Huracan EVO and the rate wasn’t outrageous at all either with no mileage restrictions at all. I think the whole claim about insurance rates and HP was from a bygone era in the 1960’s and possibly 70’s.

[@PILULE-ow9sk]

I really like your videos, 14 minutes and there was no downtime, very informative all the way 👌🏽 once again congrats on your car!

[@confuse9]

Just to be clear - it doesn't matter what gear your in when you calculate horsepower. If your in a lower gear - you get more torque, but less rpm. The equation is HP = Torque x rpm /5250. What 1:1 gives you is less LOSS in the transmission because the trans is more efficient in 1:1 (and converter locked!)

[@Concern_Citizen]

I was a bit surprise when I heard the dyno operator said what he said. Also, I find, typically, that dynojets offer higher HP numbers than Mustang dynos.

[@branchtana315]

@@Concern_Citizen Absolutely. Mustang dynos calculate by far the lowest HP output of all the mass produced dynos available. I've seen many instances where there was a 10%+ difference between a Mustang and a Dynojet.

[@KZ-se4ik]

Actually there is pretty much no difference in transmission losses between gears over the range of ratios most cars use. The myth that 1:1 is better came from older manual transmissions where the 1:1 gear wasn't a gear at all. A sleeve simply connected the input and output shafts in that "gear". Thus there were no gear mesh losses. But when you have teeth meshing, whether its in a 1:1, 1.3:1 or 0.8:1 gear the losses are pretty much the same. The difference in measured output in different gears often comes from the inertial loss changes in the driveline due to differing acceleration rates.

[@Concern_Citizen]

@@KZ-se4ik - You said a lot... it's an age-old argument. These were arguments we had in my mechanical engineering classes back in the mid-to-late 70s. I'll attempt to go through your explanation... first, I'm not sure what you mean by "transmission losses between gears over the range of ratios...” It’s a matter of physics that rotational inertia consumes energy that will produce measured differences. As it relates to automobile’s gear ratio impact on horsepower loss, it’s all relative. As horsepower is the measurement of work over time, and gear ratios affect the speed of the output, there obviously would be differences measured. However, there are other factors that would affect the results. How impactful are those differences, I guess, depends on the message. But I don’t think it’s safe to say there no difference in measured power loss (I’m assuming your term “transmission losses” equal power loss) between or across gears. I’ll agree, relatively speaking, the measured differences may be minimal, but no non-existent. Just my two cents. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@BryantStilwell]

I've tested different gear pulls on a few vehicles on my own MD-250 mustang dyno. Any time I'm not in direct drive, I lose power. This is with inputting the correct parameters and testing ratios. Automatics have more moving parts/drag when you are not in direct drive, just as a manual is. In my big block cuda with a 727, its a hefty difference between a 2nd gear and 3rd gear pull, even with changing all the appropriate ratios so that the software calculates correctly. On a separate example, tires, we had a 60whp difference on a 500" big block cuda going from 10psi in his drag radials to 25psi. Any drag or load whatsoever will effect your results. Having more parts moving in the transmission is no exception.

[@bullittboost6046]

Definitely a beast from the factory. Just really hard to obtain for a average person. But it’s definitely a special vehicle.

[@jakefox3677]

I hope you get used to the Torque management real quick as others have got the 170 in the 1.2second 60ft area. This is going to be an entirely different animal compared to your Black charger.

[@randylear8264]

Nice numbers. Remember X that there are more folks who are going to talk bad about the 170. They have their reasons. Not good reasons but their reasons. I like the fact that this is the ultimate Muscle Car and it does not pretend to be anything different. This is in a better category than my 70 GTX 440-6. It was just one of the street bruisers that stalked the streets in the 70s. Along with the 426 Hemi, 454 LS6, 427 Ford and a host of 455s . But this Demon 170 stands alone. Will it be beaten on the strip? Sure. But that’s always a drivers race to win or lose. Thanks for the video and before the haters come in and correct me on anything. Read carefully what I said. Emphasis on Muscle Car. Not sports car or sedan or all wheel drive electric machines. Just plain old all American Muscle Car.

Nice!! I heard that the Demons and DC170s are speed limited because the drag radials won't safely handle more than 165mph. Most cars wouldn't hit that in the 1/4 anyway. Take the governor off and they will hit 205mph given enough runway.

Unreal! Congrats, X! I think the PCM is speed limited to 150mph by design (as on the 1320). You'll likely never see the car trap above 150, but it might get close and it would be nice to have a bit of cushion. (PS please fix the weatherstrip center of the opening where it meets the headliner, thanks)

A couple 170s have already gone 151mph. The one that ran 8.89 went over 150. Ron Silva’s 8.9 second pass was 150mph and change.

Based on the official trap speed of 151 mph in the 8.91 run and the stated weight of 4275, crank hp is ~1134. Using 15% for drivetrain loss that would be ~963 at the wheel. Definitely underrated.

[@Mr1T2X1]

Agree! Hennessy dyno video was right in that ballpark at 924

[@blazesmooth5573]

rwd drivetrain loss is only 10% tho

[@Mr1T2X1]

@@blazesmooth5573 Dodge and Chrysler Lx platforms have not been known for efficient drive systems. The original Hemis with the German NAG1 5-speed were at best 15% (actually calculated to 17.1%). My 300s had the 5.7 rated at 340hp and put down 292 at the wheels. The SRT was rated at 470 and put down 417. Neither generation would achieve the efficiency of 10% loss…too much weight and too many moving parts. Keep in mind the supercharger alone pulls over 100 HP out of the performance measures just to spin the system for boost.
