I think most Demon owners are gonna come to terms sooner than later that them 17 inch Street R's are not gonna cut it on the STREET. This is a mildly modified Trackhawk with the stock blower and a fairly large pulley. This wasnt a dig race where the Trackhawk shines either. If he had traction he would have blown right past that Hawk fact!
This was what I was going thru with my Redeye. My Redeye made the same power this makes on 93 octane. I was spinning just like this car was spinning but this is much lighter (200 lbs) and he was on E85 so he's making quite a bit more TQ than I was.
Bottom line is if one owns a Demon 170 they really need to be looking at a 15 inch conversion so they can run the MT Pro Radial which is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the Street R for TRACTION! Its a $150-200k car if one wants to hook they need a better tire period!
And thats STOCK. Imagine when these things start getting Ported blowers, Billet lids, Bigger TB's, Ported snout, Methanol, Smaller pulley etc..... The motor can handle it. Not sure about the trans but maybe. Im betting with simple bolt-ons and a ported blower/snout I bet it makes 1200 hp at the crank.
