[QUOTE=importandy;8422493]Wait a sec holes in my story????

I mean http://www.dragtimes.com/Dodge-Charg...lip-10843.html that is a bone stock SRT8 running a 13.0X. As far as being able to roast tires at thirty, it had no prob laying a sweet patch at thirty and getting sideways, didn't really push it to break tires after his point was proven in town. You guys really think that 500 is out of the picture?? OK, maybe 475- 480 then but at that we are kinda splitting hairs. 15 HP from CAI, 20 HP from exhaust and 25 HP from tune are these roundabout numbers really that far fetched?? maybe I am that far off but I didn't think his story was that flimsy. I see guys on here that ran like a 13.6 or 13.7 with CAI, Catback and HP Tune and what do our cars run stock like 14.3 at best?? THat looks like over a half a sec there. I don't mean to come off like a smart *** but c'mon.

Well considering Dodge ECM/TCM/PCM are difficult to crack, 25hp from tune is pretty generous. 15hp from an exhaust...he better be running full 3" with headers and no cats or mufflers. And CAI is probably minimal, anywhere from 5-15hp on those cars, I don't know Mopars that much.


BTW, stock I ran in the high 13's.

I dunno...you started this story at 600hp...then 500 and now 475-480. The range of horse power you're throwing around is very significant and needs to be backed up by dyno sheets or something.

Talk is cheap, as they say.

I watched a bone stock 300C SRT8 dyno 376rwhp, so gaining another 100-125hp from exhaust tune and intake seems like alot.

Here you go, right there.....not 600HP, not even 475HP.

We rear wheel hp (rwhp) at 376 would make the flywheel hp be somewhere 475-500 correct??? Any my story started at 500, the 600 was a typo.

470 w/ 20% driveline lose is exactly 376.

But I think it's safe to assume most people are wanting RWHP since that's the REAL number we are seeing.

Yeah I think alot of people do, mainly because that's how cars are rated from the factory.
