Made some solid gains over the stock trim on race gas. We added an upper and lower pulley, offroad connecting pipes, fuel system and E85 to give it a good bump.
Stock w/ MS109 on the H.O. Button: 708
whp, 700
ft/lbs
Modded on E85 on the H.O. Button: 855 whp, 905 ft/lbs
For reference, stock Hellcats tend to do around 600whp stock on the same dyno.

you;d have to be a made man to buy a Demon and then say “I’d like it more with another 150hp”

“this car has a massive supercharged V8 that would make any 15 year old super car wet their pants. C ould you ad the equivalent of a Honda Civic to it? I would like whole Honda Civic’s worth of HP added.”

Haha yeah, we had just finished up a 1500whp C6 Corvette, pretty much tripled the output lol.

Please e xplain to me what changing the pulleys do. Not sure I understand the concept, here.
Thanks in advance !

Smaller pulley = more air compressed due to spinning the SC faster.
More air = more power.

changing the pulleys,............ the lower one to a smaller one spins all the accessories slower at higher rpm using less power............ changing the upper one(on the supercharger) to a larger pulley spins the SC faster supplying more air/fuel to the engine.

Now put that engine in a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Wait. No. A Commander . I dare you.

ah ... but the accessories (like the alternator) spining slower means also not working as they should (and not charging the battery) ?
And a larger pulley on the supercharger would make it spin slower, not faster ?

yes, i made a slip there. it would be a smaller pulley on the supercharger....... and crank pulleys are reduced by small percentages. accessories like alternators have “threshold speeds” i believe that they are called. basically above a minimum rpm say 500, and the Alt. is working, putting out its 13v.

So the goal is to run a blower ratio that doesn't over spin it. We run a 10% overdrive on the crank and a smaller pulley (usually 2.85" on pump gas) to get the blower spinning more which means more boost but at the expense of working the blower more and generating more heat.

Come on now, my Civic only has about 130 hp. :P
