I did a search and couldn't find anything except tuned and modded cars. What are the SRT-8's putting down stock? 360/370? w/ about the same amount of tq??? If someone can post up a graph or link, that would be great. Thanks in advance! -Marko
This thread might help you (its flat out engine testing...but you will get a pretty good idea) but yes your correct....I have seen Stockers go in the 360rwhp range...but it really depends....some can be higher or lower just on luck of the draw.... http://www.srtconnection.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10245
Pretty much spot on Steve. The link you provided is from CMW, but keep in mind that those numbers are using a "Stand" alone fuel management system, "Not" the OEM PCM computer. Which is why the numbers are a bit higher. Before any tuning, bone stock numbers will range from 350 - 390 rwhp. Really depends on the dyno machine, the weather, and the car itself. The lower end of the numbers is a car that his completely heat soaked.
Thanks guys.... and thanks for the link. I was hoping to see a stock car on the rollers to see what to expect. 390 rwhp would be awesome and would definately be underrated.... What is the generally accepted drivetrain loss for these cars? 18%? 20%?
With an aftermarket exhaust / CAI, my dyno was 385/374. This was after starting cold on a crisp day in February here in the Bay Area where its low altitude. Also, my exhaust had a leak. :happy:
That is exactly what I wanted to know.... Thanks! Not bad considering the high temps and high humidity.
