I thought people were going over 170 indicated mph in SRT8's.

Mine is a CA car, so we may have stricter rules out here limiting the mph to 160...

have you ever considered the fact that if you arent tuning your car, dynoing is a waste of money? whatever your car does at the track is what it does.

have you ever considered that putting a car on a dyno is not to simply measure track performance...?

it is interesting to know whether having the mufflers on an SRT vehicle will increase or decrease horsepower regardless of "track performance" or whatever?

I dyno my car before and after any changes. I would test my car on the track before and after, but unfortunately there aren't any 1/4 mile tracks close to me. Bakersfield is 120 miles and its not like you can run any day any time.

Well a dyno of the before and after results would be sweet we could just assume that translates to better/worse track performance. Keep us updated on what ends up happening as i know i will be eagerly awaiting any results!

CA has a limiter at 160? Chris Butler did you know that?

I'm not too sure if the car has a 160 speed limiter or if its the ABS sensors. The abs electronics freak out with the rear wheels spinning and the front stopped on the dyno. I've only been up to 150 so far. One day I'll take it out to Palmdale and see.

Yeah, I get sick of it raining 3-4 times a year. Plus this 75 degree weather is old too. It hasn't been in the 60's since December.
