Word. 2900lb 370whp car beats a 3100lb 470whp car? I don't think so. That neon was around 430-450whp

who gives a **** about a dyno number. you dont race on a dyno. ever think that when he dynoed maybe thats what it read? My local mustang dyno is an ego killer. I mean why would he lie about it after he sold his car?

It's no big deal, the guy isn't getting rich off this or anything and I don't have an axe to grind. The OP said in the beginning of the thread that it was the same dyno that both cars used. I was pointing out that if this was the case, the dyno number quoted in the video is low. As someone who has experience with these cars I was merely pointing this out. Dynos are tools for tuning, but can be used to compare cars if the same dyno and setup is used. This is an example of how that isn't always true (if someone uses the wrong gear or the dyno was set up differently things can get skewed).

The car was putting down 398whp 410tq on that baby boost in the video. The other one makes more peak power yes, but playing catch up takes a lot more power I was always down to run any other big turbo SRT4 making up to 100whp more...

Bayarea, I parted the car out before I sold it but my buddy should have the setup back out and on 10psi more than these videos + the bottle lol.

Yup lol, nitrous cars are all motor, bug turbo cars are stock turbo etc lol. I always told all my mods but I figures I would sandbag 18hp since everyone is lying by much more lol... As far as 450whp or whatever, find me a 400+whp SRT4 that dead hooks off full breakboost and on the stock 205/45/17s that came on the car from factory + bone stock suspension/springs everything. lol

fastest srt4 Ive ever seen. I raced lots of guys that were 300-350 rwhp in neons and beat them easily. Like really easily? Maybe they were lying or maybe his car has more power than he thought. No mtter what those were solid pulls and nice vids.

Good job OP!
