Has anyone dynoed their SRT-8? As we all know, Chrysler and other manufacturers frequently underrate the engine HP for a myriad of reasons. Insurance rates and liability issues come to mind. The book HP rating on the 6.1 is 425 HP, but a local one was dyboed out of the box at 452 HP. When I mentioned this to highly-placed executive in Chrysler, he found that rating odd, as in low, as it should have been in the range of 468 HP. That'll be right next door to the new STS-V at 469 HP.

Numbers please.

Wow an additional 23hp from a CAI and home made exhaust mod. Not bad. i didn't think the CAI did much on the SRT.

we went from 367 rw hp to 373 rw hp with the cold air kit. i watched the before and after right there on the dyno while they swapped them out. i think the better breathing air intake will become more important once my motor is breathing better with the heads/cam upgrade.
