- Here is some footage of Demon 170 Roll Racing at Bradenton Motorsports Park during an extremely busy event. I tried to drag race the car as well but it did not go as planned. How fast to do you think the Demon 170 will go in a quarter mile roll race? Let me know how you think the car did in the comments below.

me thinks you suck at driving lol
I’m not able to see where I can enter your discount code trying to purchase the catch can on their website
You're running 315's on the back right? Thought about going up a size or two to try to get rid of that spin?
@@Balding1There's a discount code box on the bottom of the checkout page. If you use his link you automatically get the discount as well.
What is your thoughts RacerX9 on this?

You are out there with a Dodge Demon 170 that you worked hard to get and that is the most important thing is you are living the dream so many of us would lovr to have. Enjoy the car and live in the moment!
RACER X.
What you said its 100% correct. Learn what your car can do but MOSTLY , what you can do with your car.
CASE IN POINT. I am a 74 year old ( gear head ) and dominated the streets of CT in the 60s,70s 80s , took a break and went at it again in 2005 for 10 years.
I now drive a 6cyl 2022 Challenger GT which I used to beat a Hemi ( 5.7 ) charger and challenger.
I did this because I KNOW my car and I have 60 years of seat time.
You can have TONS of power in your ride, but if you do not know how to use it, YOU WILL GET BEAT.
THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO'S
Love the racing content. The demon 170 is a beast from the factory.
Was cool to see so many people keeping the sport alive
AwesomeX《☆》Kudos for getting your Demon 170 out there Brother. I'm just happy to see You Enjoying the Beast✌🏼😎🤳
I like this guy. Genuine content and no non sense excuses. Says it how it is. 🙏
I bought one of these catch cans with your code. $100 off. Looking forward to installing it! I love my Brothers Designs billet can but not exactly the mounting location of it. Thanks for the hook up Racer X
Only person I see online doing real work on that demon 170 is demonology
Thats how its designed to look isn't it
Agreed. Wonder why that is?
@RacerX9 I'm a fan X. Just a fair question. Just waiting for you to dial it in 👍
I agree Demonology dominated a Tesla Plaid. Like the second day he got his 170. He would be a great person to ask tips about suspension set up, and launching the Demon.
Hint " Demon " ology
That was really cool. I can’t believe how many people were there. I didn’t know drag racing was that popular..lol😂
Early in the season the tracks (the few that remain) are all crowded for test and tune nights. Getting toward the end of the season the crowd is smaller and you can get a lot more passes in. SInce Atlanta International Dragway closed I have no place to run a 1/4 mile. That's what's funny about the Demon 170. Many owners will not be able to race the car due to a multi hour drive to locate the nearest track. So then it moves to requiring an enclosed trailer and a tow vehicle. Real PITA as opposed to driving in and driving out.
Great video, nice to see all the enthusiasm for the track.
Looks like your enjoying the 170
GOOD STUFF X! THANKS!
Very cool , thanks for explaining stuff. I literally thought you could just take off in 2nd gear . Now i get it
Your car is just sick, awesome machine. Thanks for the video. Appreciate ya
Any racing upload is purely awesome! The Demon is absolutely incredible to say the least.. how much does it cost to rent Bradenton motorsports Park? When I come down there, maybe we should rent it? This way you can charge only with drag radials.. make so loot! Great upload X
I appreciate that buddy. I think I can get out there on a day when they are having a private event and probably pay around $300. Thats my plan. The test and tune thing is crazy here.. thats never going to work
Good stuff as always
Finding the sweet spot on a car can take awhile. Keep going Racer X 👍🏾 I personally think a Beadlock and a Hoosier will get the job done.
This is why I like the 1000 hp ESS mustang Stangmode built . It’s so much more street friendly with the lower torque and at the strip it’s an 8 second car. He can probably back that up better than Dodge for sure 😅.
Great video, that car is a beast now I can’t get that you spin me right round baby right round out of my head😂
Awesome content buddy 🙏👍💪
You have to come to the Poconos Raceway, they have 3 roll races a year..😎
8:00 Wow, reminds me of Race Wars from Fast & Furious! 🤪
we're waiting for the top speed test
Long live Bradenton Motorsports!
Not for long I heard
Interesting!
Cool content, I would thought the Demon 170 would have done better in Roll racing vs Digg racing on the traction
aspect. I get distance is the same but still i thought it would be a good bit faster, you never know until you do it.
Awesome job bud.
Hey RacerX
In this world of instant gratitude everyone expects way too much of you sometimes
I say just let them talk away
It probably helps the channel lol
Keep pushing
Learn your car at your pace and most importantly the RacerX way

I have a catch can on my 2021 Ram 1500 5.7 DT which I paid $55 w/shipping and handling from eBay. It was made specifically for the 5.7-6.4 hemi's
Thumbs up just for the Dead or Alive clip!
I really like where your catch can is located!
The JLT catch can seems to be a cleaner look and easier to check and empty?
My question is not related to this video. But to an older vid. I just Bought a set of Hoosier DBR 28x10.5x17” and ordered short end links for clearance. Your old video had Race Stair 17’s on the Shaker.
What was the Wheel size width and back space you used. I’m measuring 5.5 back space on mine.
Thank you
Its a little hard to tell, but for the roll racing, are you in second or third gear? It sounds to me like its in third, which is insane if its spinning in third. Does it hold the gear or kick down? It sounds like it stays in the gear but want to ask. This could be good info to explain in the video after you do the run. Thanks for running your car and showing the work it takes to hook the power.
Hey did you do the NGK plug swap that many recommend when running E85, I’m still on 93, frist tank , it’s been raining
How do you get private events to practice test and tune nights are always crowded and you may get three runs but you really don't get to practice line lock feature or anything that takes time to set up ?
I might be going out on the limb here, but I watch almost all your videos, and I must say it doesn’t seem like you are having as much fun with the demon 170 as I thought you would. Am I wrong?
I love his 170 but I get the feeling he misses the hellcat
If he would throw out the stock tire size and kick them up a couple to put more tire on the track. This issue would go away. But I digress.
@@gwen7231needs some beadlocks, some other 170s are having tire spin issues similar , tire is moving about 6-12 inches on the rim 😐
It’s more about sidewall.. I’m going to keep trying but most 170 owners have all gone to 15” conversions
@@RacerX9 my point being is that it seems that the 170 is very limited as far as drivability
Awesome video! Too many cars! I'm sure when you manage to get a track that isn't so crowded, those star will align! Your car is a BEAST!
😆
What rear tires are on it? Have you thought about going with Mickeys?
You have so much power going to the wheel it's damn near impossible to avoid wheel hop unless you ease down the pedal in a controlled manner then gun it once you're going. Your horses will do the rest at that point. 😁
Problem is .. when I do that the car runs a 9.7 or 9.8 .. its needs a 1.2x 60 foot to run in the really low 9’s
April 14, Calverton, Long Island, Scrambul 1/2 mile roll racing on the 10,000' runway. It's no prep but you start your roll prior to reaching the start of the half mile. Come up...
Good attempt, brother. Sick GTO and catfish Camaro. You can hear just how angry that D170 is. Just too much instant torque on that thing. 15" conversion or a bigger tire and better prep seems to be the only answer lol.
Agreed 👍
When I had a V6 Mustang, I wasn't afraid to floor it with only a 1/4 mile or so distance between me and the car in front of me. When I got a 5.0, I realized I needed at least 2-3x as much room because I'd be slamming on my brakes half way through the pull. So at 1000HP, a roll race on 1/4 mile is going to be over in a couple seconds. Gotta have room to vroom.
Prep this prep that bro get it done already I’m starting to see knock off UA-camrs making videos like “why is racerxs hellcat slow” like cmon they don’t even know what’s they’re talking about
When you have a car that makes this much power you have to have a sticky surface. Some people are clueless. Real drag racers know. Those are guys just looking to piggyback off my channel for views .. it happens alot. I love the just get it done comment though! So easy .. the internet is lying to you brother
X. You've got to a lot more on the tire. Go up a couple of notches. I have mentioned this to you about the grip situation in the past. There's not enough meat to hold the torque that Dodge gave these cars. Hell I had to do it on my 392 twin turbo Challenger. I couldn't even take off at a stop light without sliding sideways on dry pavement. Just do it once and find out for yourself. I know these models. How? I was on the SRT development team for years. Yeah, take it from the old guy who knows. Just be careful not to break the drive linkage because if you go up on that tire, I'm telling you your gonna go for a hell of a ride down that track. Yes I understand the cost of the tires are horrible as it is with the stock crap but the benefit is rewarding.
@@RacerX9you should make a trip to Orlando speed world. They prep the track really good every night of the week. First time I went there I thought I broke my axle hitting 2nd gear from it gripping so hard.
A lot of your youtubers are modded and lieing about it lol
My hellcat spins so hard on the drag strip. I can’t imagine a demon… I can’t even fathom a demon 170..
So much horsepower it’s frustrating!! That’s an awesome problem!!!
Yeah specially in the streets no fun at all.
Maybe put some Top Fuel slicks on that thing!
😂 I don’t think they’ll fit.
My issue with the 170 and even down to the Scat....hooking. they made these cars with so much torque that its almost impossible to hook. Especially if you're not on a prepped surface. Even then, I've had my 1320 at local T&T and the prep was crap sonI kept spinning. Its extremely frustrating.
Same concept as a quicker 60’ sometimes will drop your trap speed if all else is equal. Gives you less time to make speed.
im impressed how hard your car hits from a roll considering its not really designed for that. its not a car to take lightly if i ever get next to one on a highway lol.
The Tesla model plaid is now the fastest production car made at 9.33 seconds at 155 mph in the quarter mile !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man I would take those stock rims off and switch to a 15 and get a thicker sidewall tire and see if that makes a difference
I don't suppose you can be convinced to try a run with 150 lbs of ballast bolted in the trunk? I know, extra weight doesn't seem like it would help acceleration, but just try it as an experiment, to see if the rear suspension handles the body motion better on hard launch.
Also, wonder what the camber gain situation is on the rear suspension, when it gets squatted like that?
🏆Racer X🏆🍀Showtime 👀✌️
THIS COOLEST
That was very sad to let a civic beat you. Love your video's you have to be sick about that pocket rocket walking away😢. That's crazy all that $$$$$$$$
That was probably a mid 8 second car. Some of those things with built engines run 50+ pounds of boost through a high revving 4 banger! No shame in losing to a highly modded car like that
What’s up brotha, I was suppose to go to that event. Would have been cool to finally meet you.
Either way I’m not sure if I missed it or just don’t remember you mentioning it, but have you tried leaving in 2nd gear from a dig?
Also, can you maybe hold your last gear if you’re in manual mode, so you don’t cross in 6th? I think your 1:1 is 5th and that’s where you want to finish at.
From what I’ve noticed drag radials don’t really need a very big burn out. Once I see it smoke I begin to let off as I drive into the glue and back up to the beams. Drop pressure by 1lb until you hook, but you may need beadlocks if it gets too low.
Just some tips I’ve learned through my drag racing journey from one UA-camr to another ✌🏽
Can’t wait to see you finally get that pass you’ve been wanting 💪🏽
Much appreciated buddy. The Demon 170 is a different animal! It won’t let you leave in second if you’re in drag mode unfortunately. 1:1 is in 6th gear actually with these cars .. which sucked because when I tried to dyno it in 6th it ran into the limiter but in 5th it didn’t pull as much power. The tire is definitely spinning on the wheel so beadlocks would definitely help. I tried to burn past the beams and back up in my tracks but it’s didn’t seem to help unfortunately. I definitely need to get out to a private rental where there’s actually some glue down to have any chance of hooking. I appreciate it buddy
@@RacerX9 ah gotcha, I learned something new about the demons trans. You know more about the demon than I do so I apologize for the ignorance lol.
Like you said, your best bet is to go to a private rental and fine tune your trans brake for that surface.
👍Those Saturday night “Street Heat” sessions are rough for traction at BMP. Starts with Roll Racing that doesn’t give any kind of useful ET. Then the drag racing is very rough to get any decent launch, even with AWD and Traction Control! Almost like ice!
Sorry to have missed you this night Paul but we’ll catch each other out there again soon-
For sure buddy.. I think I'm only going to be doing private sessions here moving forward if I am going to have any sort of success.
Bull....... Aside from the fact that there are cars going way faster than 9's out there.
I'm quite certain that the only time these cars will ever get into the 8's is during private track rentals with shit tons prep. You're never going to show up at some random track and touch 8's. Sick car regardless.
More like a 300 shot😂
It's already been done, but go off. Nothing makes people more ass hurt than a Dodge.
@@PyroBlonde7777 nothing is a bigger pos boat ⚓ anchor, than a dodge.
@@JoeStill-un9gp "wow! The land of make believe!" Thats why Drag Paks dominated so hard they had to add weight? That's why the fastest production muscle cars are Mopars? Keep coping bozo
I think you should hook up with Demonology when he does his runs. He pulled a 9.1 and gapped a plaid 3 straight times. That way you can at least be on a perfectly prepped track and see what your car is really capable of.
MODS.There is no way his 300lb ass is going that fast without it.He is 2 tenths down from weight.
What happens if you leave the traction control on? Is it shameful to leave TC on? Or do you loose power?
It will cut power significantly unfortunately
Do you think your twin turbo stang would of been quicker in these roll races?
Most definitely. He said it before in his Mustang vs Demon 170 comparison. Honestly he should have still kept the Mustang.
@@Oliver-ft2fq he probably regrets getting rid of it.
@@CoyoteAUS he was a converter away from going 8's, with more mph capability, tuneable, less weight and an all around better platform, but sold it to go $150k in the hole. Thats why I laugh when I hear him say the Mustang wasn't fast out of the hole. Hahahaha no you just gave up on a car and didn't know how to drive it to get it out of the hole. Now he is blowing the tires off on a heavy turd.
@@user-lu3iz8nu1t the converter and maybe 3.55 gear?
@@CoyoteAUS yeah, 3.55 is good for 1k hp drag racing. 3.15's are good for roll racing. Now once you start to get into the higher hp like 1,500 or 2k hp the 3.15 gears will be good for drag racing also
Honestly if you get fresh prep you could go an 8 for sure
Why wouldn't the factory install a catch can?
People wouldn't check it.
I think maybe you should use the tires that you used on your hellcat charger. I'm losing faith in those stock demon tires.
These are actually the same ones .. but the Demon has slightly wider tires 315’s .. my hellcat ran 305’s. The Demon is more violent off the hit. My hellcat would spin sometimes too.. it really depended on the prep
Why the hell doesn't the factory install a catch can in the first place?
Because it is an extra cost for them and it requires the owners to do more maintenance (empty the can and dispose of the oil properly). In addition, it does not add any value to their performance or durability requirements (cars are only designed to go 60,000 or maybe 100,000 miles, for example). Therefore, it is of no use for the manufacturer, and only adds cost and maintenence. If you are someone who wants to keep a car for longer than what the manufacturer designs it for, then it is a good idea. It does not hurt the engine and instead of the oil being discharged into the intake, it is simply removed and the catch can emptied. Your car will be fine without a catch can, but you will have issues with buildup in the intake manifold and valves after hundreds of thousands of miles.
Work with cleetus McFarland, literally they get the track just for them whenever they race lol
I can't get ahold of him unfortunately
@@RacerX9 bring the 170 to one of his events!
🇺🇸
Has anyone been able to use the promo code to get the discount on the catch can ? I don’t see anywhere to enter the code ?
Hey buddy.. if you click the link I pinned in the comments it should apply it automatically! Let me know if it doesn’t work 👍
@@RacerX9 I figured it out thanks 👍 for some reason it didn’t appear when I tried with my phone but ended up ordering using an iPad and worked ! Ordered today thank you
Tha dodge challenger n charger scatpack thru Demon 170 are still tha most hated muscle cars in this society. But these vehicles made the benchmark n origin in our society 💯🎯 No matter what, body style, weight, fast, top speed , etc.etc.etc .If you own a dodge challenger or charger just know demonic hatred comes wit it💯🎯
Paul do you still have the TT Mustang ?
I just sold it a few weeks ago
@@RacerX9 loved that car !
You don't need a catch can for port injection but you do for direct injection
Yikes. Might have to trade it in for an awd new charger banshee or a highly tuned 1000+ hp twin turbo awd 6pk new charger coming out
Ripp on my Scat and 300s v6 both new 2019, the 300s is my daily 37000 kilometers to date , clean and drain every 2500 kilometers and about a cup of crap will never see the Throttlebody

No matter how you do it racing is racing good show
My? Is can u put a bigger tire like 335-345 slick and see if u can not blow the tires off
I may go to a 15” conversion
@@RacerX9 i think that is what your buddy @demonology uses
Did you know the Demon 170 you can't do more than 149Mph 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The burn out I think was too much, might have made the tires slippery
I thought that was you...
If catch can were so good, the manufacturer would have to install it, isn't it?
I have put one on every performance car I have ever owned. The proof is when you take the can off to see how much blow by oil is getting into the intake
ua-cam.com/users/shorts-3n8Tj2SnzY?feature=share
@@RacerX9100% Correct. Catch cans saves engines. As for the other guy who had the question pertaining to the manufacturer. We don't apply such applications simply because of cost. Stock doesn't mean performance nor does it mean longevity. During my working years at Chrysler we had one thing in mind. Build the best possible model for the least amount of money.
honest question....do you have buyers remorse on this vehicle?? i mean yea its amazing but even then. for tha price tag dudes are able to beat this out of their garage u kno....
Not at all.. this car is absolutely wicked
@@RacerX9 yea theres no doubt its wicced i was jus asking because it seems like u jus cant get it right to where u want it plus that speed limiter issue.
@@412hwclike I tell people stock for stock my hellcat will beat 90% of car on the road. But point is you can put 20k in that Honda to make it faster but when the motor blows you’re out that money vs me who has a warranty

@@412hwc your right I didn’t necessarily think about that. I was going off of my predicament I travel for work so I’m not home enough to build a car. So in order for me to build a car it would cost me a lot more cause I’d have to get a shop to do it. With my warranty right now if something goes wrong I drop it off before I leave and pick it up when I get back and I have a decently fast car for the weekend

😂didn’t show the hatch
I know I wanted to see that one 😂😂😂😂
@@tommyed03 see I like UA-camrs that show their wins and losses not people who show their win and skip when they lose 🤣🤣🤣just can’t trust them
Sure looks like the 170 was worth the coin 🤔 Do you ever wish you had your Charger back?
I love the charger.. but I really enjoy the 170 as well! It’s an absolute beast
You can only do over 149mph for a few seconds.
you might want to invest in some race lessons or professional set up on the car.
Put some slicks on the 170 already.
It already has ET street R's on the back..
@@RacerX9
If I’m not mistaken, the ET street R is a radial base tire…. Is that correct?
Yes it's a radial with a really soft compound. Bias plies on the back of 8 speeds that weigh 4300lb tend to really walk at the top of the track
Or maybe go to a half mile event.

Those cars can’t do below 9 in the 1/4.
My plaid def traps faster in a roll.. by a good margin..
Racerx should have just gone for the z06 instead and avoided all this Demonology this and that because he got the same car. His haters are blasting him everywhere and I can’t read a Demon 170 race comments section without Racerx being called out on.
Haters will hate as you know. If I ONLY showed wins and never showed losses and tried to make everyone else look bad make myself look good.. well then people would have a different view but that is not reality (for anyone). Truth is I have only lost 1 actual race to the plaid on the very first time I ever raced the car because the track didn't hold up. I have had lots of wins over other cars but didn't post the race. I don't film every time I go to the track because sometimes I just like to go enjoy myself and get in seat time. My true fans know how long I have been racing and are well aware of many of the huge wins I have had just in the last several years at big events. People will find out what time it is soon enough.
Can't wait to see the Banshee absolutely destroy the Demon
Rabbit beats a Demon
They rushed the crap outta these cars I can tell
Believe me ,, you will sell it and buy either c8 zo6 or gt500
It is an over hyped cow not car.
The charger 170 is clearly pushed well beyond its chassis' capability.
Overpriced mess.
It's got nothing to do with RacerX. The car just can't handle it's power correctly.
They have become boring and dated.
Its time for the 170 to go bye. And get something that is designed for the power. Or to "Build a car that can crush a 170 cheap"
Your missing something, its not made for street racing .
It's made for drag racing.
Correct.. I mentioned that in the video as well
U should sell this car and get something else
Dude, you need to take lessons, or go to school.
Been drag racing for 25 years my friend .. NHRA certified for 12 .. maybe you can come teach me .. seems like your an expert! You could probably teach the pros .. I will call Ashley Force and Tony Pendragon and tell them to come see you
Damn your a Funny Clown
@RacerX9 I only said it because you got walked by a tesla, and other demon 170 owners are not. Hell, that's on UA-cam as well. It seems you are having issues that some others are not. The whole I've been drag racing for 25 years doesn't mean much to me. I remember when the original demon first came out, I was ATCO, and the old timer that owned it said the pretty much the same shit. Then he nearly cut the tree down, literally with the PS fender of his car, and ended up running a 12...
