Charger Redeye Makes More than 700 Wheel Horsepower on the Dyno

Charger Hellcat Redeye is completely stock, but it is destined for compound forced induction.

The 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye is the most powerful production sedan in the world with 797 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque. It also has the ability to run in the mid-10-second range in the quarter mile en route to a top speed of 203 miles per hour, making it the quickest and fastest mass produced sedan in the world. Better yet, the supercharged Hemi easily produces far more power with basic modifications, making it the ultimate hot rod sedan.

One of the first people in the world to take delivery of a 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye is Jeremy Satera, the owner and power-making guru at Satera Tuning. This Charger is his daily driver right now, but it will be used for R&D for a few projects over the next few months, eventually featuring a compound boost setup with more than a thousand horsepower. However, before Satera gets to modifying hit new Redeye Charger, he needs to get some baseline dyno numbers which will be used to show improvements with each modification.

In getting these baseline numbers, Jeremy Satera is the first 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye owner in the world to put his car on the rollers and the numbers are impressive.

Charger Redeye on the Dyno

In the video below from the Satera Tuning  YouTube channel, this gorgeous Frostbite Blue Charger Hellcat Redeye is working out on the Dynojet dyno at Satera Tuning. This car is 100% stock and it is barely broken in, with just 15 miles on the odometer after the second dyno pass. However, this fresh Hemi laid down some solid numbers.

On the first run, this Redeye sedan made 705.35 horsepower and 679.63 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels, with at least 600 lb-ft of torque available from 2,300 through 6,000 rpm. On the second pull, the big Dodge sedan backed up those numbers with 717.3 horsepower an 678.72 lb-ft of torque. Even if we only take the first pull into account, 705 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque with a nice, flat torque curve is a great baseline.

What’s Next

Now that Satera has a baseline for his Dodge Charger Redeye, he will begin to extract more power. The first round of upgrades will include basic bolt-ons and a tune, but he will look to see how much power he can get from just using his in-house True Flex Fuel tuning system. His goal with bolt-ons and flex fuel tuning is to see how close he can get to 850 wheel horsepower.

Next, Satera Tuning is working on a line of clutched pulleys for the Hellcat cars and this Charger Redeye will serve as the guinea pig for initial testing of those pulleys. That means more boost and, with a custom tune, more power.

Finally, Satera is one of the modern Mopar frontrunners when it comes to introducing turbochargers to the Hellcat platform. He plans to install a Single Turbo Compound boost system that uses both the factory supercharger and a turbocharger to create monster power. In the long run, he expects to see something north of 1,100 wheel horsepower and the ability to run in the 8s with a street-driven Dodge Charger.

For now, this is the first Charger Redeye to flex on the dyno, so crank up your speakers and enjoy!

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
