Aren't you in Colorado or some other high elevation? Did you install 3.55's?

First off, thanks for the post and the results of the mods. Definitely interesting to see what each will do.
As far as the quote above, doesn't the dyno adjust for altitude for the SAE correction? I thought that was a definite factor so that the dyno numbers could all be compared fairly. As far as the '05's, I doubt seriously that they make any more power on average than any other SRT. Every once in a while you get
an anomaly, but on average I suspect they are the same.
Thanks again for the informative post!

Yes, the dynos are SAE corrected for altitude, etc., but it's pretty useless to compare different dynos at different shops, as they are going to be different regardless of correction factors. You can dyno your car at one shop, get one number, then go across town and dyno your car at a different shop (same altitude, same weather conditions) and get different numbers.
I just use the dyno to compare relative changes, and so long as I'm using the same shop, I figure that I am minimizing error as a result of using different equipment.
One thing regarding high altitude, however, is that modifications which improve air intake and exhaust evacuation (K&N's, headers, etc.) will net less benefit at high altitude. I would wager that if I had my car dynoed at sea level, that the net gain on my mods would have been higher.
Bandimere speedway is at 5860 feet above sea level.
My 1/4 mile time was 13.281 @ 111.36mph. I'm going to put some Nitto drag radials on the car this summer, and hopefully pick that up a bit. With luck, I won't fry my clutch in the process.
