Belanger install gain of 23RWHP

[wormdoggy]

Ok, so here's the scoop.

We dynoed several cars this Saturday with a very reputable organization ( great event ) as part of the VCO events planned for the year.

It just so happened that there we two SRT-10's as follows;

Both were 04's . The first one was stock in every aspect other then the fact that he had the Corsa Exhaust on his while the second one ( mine ) had the headers , high flows and belanger exhaust. We did several runs to make certain but in every run mine dynoed minimum 23 RWHP additional gain. Quite frankly, I thought it would be more...............

I don't know what part or components contributed to the additional HP but I would suspect and only suspect that it was the high flow cats.

Is this a fair assumption.

Thanks

I am surprised its even that much. Most of that extra hp came from the cat delete.

Its what I have always said on the gen 3 you already have a great header that really cant be improved better than what it is.

cant fix whats not broken.

I would be really pissed if i spent almost 5k and got 15 rwhp for the headers and 12 rwhp for the cat delete.

as for sound hell a paxton is music to my ears for an extra couple of grand and you get 200 rwhp gains


vd..

Nice job Wormdoggy, thats a nice increase

i dont think that headers are a good hp/$ on a viper like mentioned earlier a paxton is only a few thousand more and will get near 700 hp to the rear wheels on a stock car.

Actually, it is not necessarily a good comparison because they are two totally different cars. The year is irrelevant. Bone stock these cars can often have a swing as much as 30 RWHP between two identically-equipped cars and similar mileage. For example, Frank and I got our 2003 SRT-10's the same day. When we dyno'ed on the same day shortly after break-in I think we had almost 30 RWHP difference. He broke his in nice and easy - mine did not have that luxury.

Let us know what your final numbers were and we can probably better tell you where you are compared with several other SRT-10's. Regardless, thanks for the info!

I agree ... not a great comparison ... I don't know about a 30hp swing, but a 10-15hp difference between two totally stock cars is very likely

So let me guess, yours were the lower numbers? Adding arguement that we should break in our cars gently?

Wrong. Y2K posted the better numbers.

I dyno'd my 2003 while stock, and again after 1000 miles post Belanger headers and exhaust. I gained 37 rwhp with no other mods. The real reason I did it was to get rid of the cabin heat though.

I had the exact same system done on my Coupe, although I have never dyno'd the coupe. The sound is awesome!

Lou Belanger is great to deal with as well. I will do it again if I ever have a 3rd Viper!
