I think they have more like around 185-190 (given 25% loss from engine to rear wheels)

I did a few g-tech pro runs with 4100 lbs as my weight in my Reg cab. It was bone stock and I got 189 RWHP. Not 155 ..... what a crock.

I'm doing a dyno run (along with 4-5 other RTs) this Sunday in Houston. I will post the results.

BTW- Were all pretty heavly modified but it will paint a pretty picture for the R/T.

What kind of dyno? That info is important because a mustang dyno always has lower RW numbers compared to a dynojet.

Yeah, I saw that article and was like.."What?!?". I think it's there subtle way of saying they are tired of the current version of R/T and are wanting something new.

Say like a next gen Dak with the hemi eng as a SRT-8 version. You know something like that is coming...with the SRT-10 and SRT-4 in prod.

Most stock R/T dyno between 190-210 hp depending on the dyno and weather conditions.

260 Flywheel-->155 Rear wheel==105HP loss (about 40%). That's about as hard to believe as Duner losing a race to a Yugo. :) Thier testing methods were probably flawed in some way, without seeing them I can't tell where though.

260 Horsepower
311 Torque

Dynojet Dynamometer
CXI Racing, Houston, Texas

I did one with the cutout closed and one open, there was a gain of 8HP and 3 TQ with it open. So for $35 you can get some good results with a cut-out.

rpm
2500 140 HP 300 TQ
3000 175 300
3500 208 311
4000 235 311
4500 260 300
5000 260 270
5500 335 225
5700 rev limiter kicked in

Modifications: M1, K&N FIPK, F&B 50mm, Large Turtle, Crane Ign., Headers, Carsound Cat, Magnaflow Muffler, Cut-out, JBA Wires, Autolite Plugs, 180 Stat, B&G Flashed PCM
