Had another mini dyno day on Saturday, last car was this 400 miled 09 SRT 8. So much for buying a new Harley next year, if these are still being made I'm buying one:hyper: Getting ready to install a Vortech on her tomorrow and will be putting her back up on the rollers after. First graph is the SRT8, second is a 5.7 challenger graph from the other mini dyno day earlier in the week. Both were 6-speed cars, interesting....

Nice car! They look the best of the retro look cars IMO.

HP and TQ almost always cross at 5250 rpm on the dyno charts because horsepower equals torque (in ft-pounds) times RPM divided by 5250.

That SRT looks good in that blue. I hate the dark blue on those cars. They look so boring in Deep Water blue.

I still like one of those in R/T trim with 6 speed in black please :goodidea:

Often thought about these cars for a new toy though the dyno graphs would make the choice cheaper and go R/T. Though I think I will go the build a hotrod route after we find a new house out in the country a bit.

I always thought these cars were only auto's...

They're really starting to grow on me now. Every one I hear with an exhaust sounds great, unlike anything else imo. Nice pics Mike.

They really aren't that bad, the Vortech makes everything looks crammed...nice cars to work on:goodidea:
