DYNO RESULTS: STOCK 2016 Durango R/T

zwade · Jul 7, 2021

I ran my 2016 durango r/t awd on the dyno today. I wasn’t expecting much after seeing a lot of other guys stock dynos. I wanted to get a baseline before I started doing engine mods.
DA was 3125ft.
87 pump gas
97k miles on the clock

Here is a video and the dyno chart:

That’s probably the most honest dyno graph I’ve seen on line in a good while. Most guy’s put up fake numbers from hub dynos or they run it in a lower gear to give the false results of more power. Now you have a good baseline, let’s see where you go from here!

I would think those numbers are not corrected?
What was the air temp and humidity levels?
Should have ran 89 octane not 87.
The loss in torque is extreme to me so I am guessing these numbers are not corrected or at least I hope so.

I put temp humidity and da in the beginning of the video, don’t remember off hand but it is typical midwest heat and humidity like 90 degrees. I don’t drive it with 89 octane and wanted this baseline to be realistic based on how I run the car normally.

what is extreme about the graph? Could you show me a graph of what a stock awd rt durango should look like?

You lost almost 100HP and 110lbft which is extreme but running at 90 degrees it makes sense. I apologize for not watching the video and seeing those specs (temp and humidity).
Losing almost 30 percent at the wheels is not very good but in that heat it makes sense as well as using 87 octane.
My guess in 60 degree weather with 89 octane you would probably be around 20-25 percent loss of power and torque which is more realistic.
My SRT10 lost 17 percent in the driveline in cool weather but was down 28 percent when the temps hit 80+
My SRT8 Challenger was not as bad mainly due to better OEM computer programming then my 2005 SRT10.

Does not matter anyway since these R/Ts are fun to drive, PERIOD! Tanks for the video and graph and post!!

My numbers are all a guess based on my experiences withmy previous cars but none were AWD so I hope others chime in and correct anything I said if needed.

Alright everyone, I found another AWD dyno and am setting up an appointment with them to get the Durango dyno'd again the week of the 26th. I just want to make sure the numbers are accurate from the first dyno and, if not, see what the results are of the second dyno before I start modding.

Nice! Only one way to go from there. Everything else added will make it even more fun to drive!

I would expect 20% loss under the best circumstances. There's a dyno video out there somewhere with an AWD RT Durango hitting about 295 AWHP with just an intake. The shop was closer to sea level based on location. Wasn't much other data on the video.

Hey Guys! So i got to looking at that graph and didn’t like the curve. It seemed messed up to me. The numbers seemed low as well so I found a new place to dyno the car. Exact same dynojet dyno. Here are the new numbers, 309hp and 342tq in 4th gear (5th hit speed limiter). I also found out that the place I first went to had been having issues with their dyno.
My R/T was still completely stock. Low 70 temps with a DA of 1408ft. Humidity was 74%

HEMIWOT · Aug 4, 2021

Really good numbers.

Vice-White · Aug 5, 2021

Wow, great numbers for a bone stock AWD R/T with 97k miles on it.
I love the torque output!

zwade · Aug 6, 2021

The numbers are probably a little high because it was in 4th gear but with still having a speed limiter 5th gear and 6th gear (1:1) are impossible to run in accurately.
