TQ- 385 / 472

Much smoother curves and more consistent #s after.

Before and after Valve recall work?

Hey man,
I can relate. Mine showed 387 HP before the correction. I have had the work done, but I haven't tested it again. However, the car feels much stronger than before. The difference seems significant across the entire power band. Your numbers make me believe that my feeling of a jump in power is not just in my head.

Kinda funny how the valve mess up isn't getting half the mag publication/attention as when the Cobras got messed up. I know they aren't shutting down production for a year, that's why I only said half the attention.

That is the most dramatic before/after change I've yet seen. Your car was WAY down on power before the recall - far more than the 25/40 specified. Did you change anything else while it was in service?

You got that right!!!! Those numbers are amazing!

Changed nothing, but from the looks of the pistons, with the head off, the valves were leaking. The hp and tq curves before were very rough, the hp and tq dropped dramatically on run 2. After the fix the curves were smooth and run 2 looked like run 1.

yes

What a difference. Now I can see why Dodge is trying to resolve this problem.

Red Wood City Dodge - ZASP has a good relationship with this dealer. Most do not.
