What are y'all putting at the wheels with your stock/near stock SRT's? Over the weekend I had mine done and it put down a best of 468 hp and, 493 tq. Seemed a li'l high (read, inaccurate).
there are big varations in hp/tq readings from dyno to dyno even of the same brand(manufacturer) i have seen some posted here and the m.org that range from 434-468 rwhp, calibration of the dyno and variable they program into their program will net big differences along with ambient temps and humidity having an effect. Airflow ie:using fans to blow into the radiator an or intake can also have an effect.
I've run my car on 4 different DynoJets over the last 5 years. With a fully warmed motor and driveline, the corrected numbers have been within 3 hp and 11 lb-ft. The only significant anomaly was on a Mustang Dyno - lower by about 9 hp.
The pulls were done on a Dynojet. Initially I was really happy about the numbers it put down, but, later I started second guessing it. A few nights before I was browsing the the North Texas Viper Club website and, most of their SRT's were in the mid 430's.
The temperature that day was close to 90 degrees - and all the fluids in the car were nicely warmed from the drive out to the shop. They did put one giant fan and two smaller fans in front, for the second pull.
Cool. Maybe the numbers are legit! Hopefully I can make it out to Ennis when they're holding a 'street night' and try to back up the hp. numbers with a good m.p.h.
Edit - I did video the dyno, but I'm getting 'fatal error' everytime I try to upload it on to my computer from the DV Cam. If I get it working, I will try to post it up.

Finally a solid set of numbers to use as a base line.
