Maybe 10.

If you get a predator tuner and have your car tuned on a dyno you could add about 30.

On the stock tune probably not much more. That's just how these cars work.

It will sound like you are going twice as fast however

a car with a front traction have a loss of 15% between the flywheel and the wheel...what is the percentage of a rear traction between the flywheel and the rear wheels?

Probably about the same. I think it depends on more that which tires drive the car - but I don't know a lot about this stuff.

It ranges anywhere from 15% to as high as 25% (and there are many different opinions on it). I use 18-20% as a rule of thumb. As far as your HP increase, you should be able to get 50+ with bolt-ons. With my long tubes w/high flows, Borla exhaust, CAI and Diablosport I am putting 316 to the wheels which translates to 390-395 at the flywheel. Figuring my C is only stock at the flywheel of 340, I am 50-55 higher. I would suspect the SRT8 could get bigger increases. Good luck.

thanks for your help guy.Now I know the best pieces to install on a srt-8!!

Just don't miss the point: the car needs tuning first.

You may be really surprised how a stock SRT8 runs with only a sharply tuned Diablo setup. It took almost 3 tenths off my own car at the strip.

I know of a pretty stoutly built car running STOCK exhaust that pulls high 11's in good air!

You don't have to be noisy to be fast.

Your right but I like the of a srt-8 with cat magnaflow and catback Corsa!!

If I understand, I just install:

Air intake AFE stageII
catback Corsa
Cats high flow Magnaflow
and a Tune predator

That's right?

and How many HP can I have with this set-up?

You will probably pick up a good 30rwhp/30rwtq, main thing is to find a good tuner. Take it to RDP Motorsports in northeastern Ohio and have it tuned by Steve. And the sound - oh yes it will be awesome. Autostick is especially fun

And another $20 bucks for a 185 degree thermostat is money very well spent.
