    Where's the 2008-10 Horsepower?

    I appreciate your input and it's a good point about any ram air effect. A stationary dyno would not take that into account. Does anyone have any other reputable dyno charts for the 2008 and later engine? I'm trying to examine the horsepower/torque curves to determine the best shift points...

    Where's the 2008-10 Horsepower?

    This is why I'm asking. K and N has a good reputation. Maybe we should email them for an explanation. They have no agenda here to say the Viper makes less horsepower. They're only interested in showing what gain their filters can make. Whether the car made 450 hp stock or 525 stock, it...

    Where's the 2008-10 Horsepower?

    Just looked at the K and N site. They dyno'd a stock 2008 and got a maximum of 450 hp at the wheels. If the car is really making 600 hp, it should have been making at least 525 hp at the wheels. What gives? I looked up their dyno chart on the Z06 (stock horsepower 505) AND IT MADE ALMOST THE...

    anybody have pull with STL customs?

    I deal with customs a couple of times a year. It doesn't hurt to call the local customs office and talk to someone. If your supplier has his main facility in St. Louis, it's not unusual for it to be sent to St. Louis 'under bond' where it will be inspected. My shipments usually are...

    2 Questions

    Horsepower IS torque........times RPM divided by 5252. It doesn't matter if you have an engine making 250 lbs of torque at 10,000 rpm or an engine making 500 lbs of torque at 5000 rpm. They both are making 476 hp. However, a torquey motor is rarely caught out of the power band. This is an...

    Where can I hardwire my radar detector?

    Hey, Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I ordered the 8 inch invisicord. Yes, the 08 looks to have the same connector on the back of the mirror. I've copied your wiring instructions and will do it when I get the cord. I have decided to stick with the suction cup mount though. The...

    Where can I hardwire my radar detector?

    Thanks for the suggestions. Now I'm having a problem removing the trim panel under the steering wheel. There are only 2 screws. I have the service manual and it says there are several clips that must be removed using a special tool. I don't want to pull at it and break it. Has anyone...
