ECO and WET/SNOW are max power. I spent many years driving Taurus fleet vehicles with around 300 HP and knew ECO was a lot faster than those this morning. I spent some time today testing. I did a bunch of runs in all modes, and they were the same. I couldn't figure out VALET mode either. As you can see, they were both maxxed out. One was SPORT, and the rest ECO and WET/SNOW. All I did was push each button, w/o any other

adjustments. This IS max power, right? If so, the owner's manual on Dodge's site is correct then.
 
ECU math, not real standard numbers unfortunately. Since drive modes don’t change actual engine output, the graph stays the same across all of them. So yeah, the manual would be correct.
 
Appreciate the testing, looks like you had fun 😄
Did you use launch control for this? That's the only thing I could think that might override the drive modes.
My only other theory would be that Perf Pages does it's math based on the assumption that the car always has 550 HP, and the graph is just relative to that. I don't know how that would work though.

Did you see the two different manuals that were posted? The latest did show max power in all modes, and one from last Feb showed the lower numbers in ECO and SNOW.
 
Yes, this is the latest on Dodge's website. It does say "V2" in the heading also. Feel free to search for another one.

Yep, I was under the impression the car was limited in those modes to 300, but then saw the new manual that says it’s the full face rip HP in all modes a couple months later.

Then I think what was looking at originally was actually the DAYTONA, so look at this: valet is the only thing in the gas one’s putting you at 300, but the DAYTONA on first page is different.

There is 100% a version of the manual that says the GAS engine is limited in those modes, I just looked at it on the Mopar site a day or so ago, though it may have been updated in that time. I acknowledged the Daytona chart separately while I was looking at it

BooYah!
