I've heard rumors of the 6.4L hemi having 525+ hp, but that figure seems kinda high unless they make some major changes to the way the engine breaths or offer some sort of forced induction. My guess would be more like 450-460 hp NA at the top end. The 7.0L Z06 is only pushing 505 hp and that engine breaths waaayyy better than ours do. Even the Viper's 8.3L engine is currently pushing just a little over 500 hp.

The 6.4 crate engines (392) put out 525-540hp...
The new 2008 Viper 8.4 with vvt is rated at 600 hp...
