    Check out the 12/99 issue of Mopar Action for the full scoop. Its
intercooled and uses 2 Garrett T4 turbos running at 15psi. (CR is 8.5:1)
It gets a new crank, rods, pistons, and the heads are ported to be able to
use bigger valves. (2.02" intake, 1.6" exhaust) The intake is
extrudehoned, and of course its got a custom exhaust, headers, etc. It
uses a custom computer that you can program via a laptop. Injectors are
rated at 50lb each. The half shafts were replaced with CV joints and
a Dana 60. It still uses the T-56 tranny which has been beefed up a bit.

   They didn't give any exact times, but its supposed to run 9's in the
quarter. (This is with 3.07 gears and a suspension set up for road
racing.) Supposedly, this much power is about all the stock chassis
can handle; if you want to go faster, a tube frame with the same
drivetrain is good for 7's.
   
  The Mopar Action article says it has 1100hp, but according to SVS's
web site, its 993 bhp and 1142 lb-ft. The nice thing is that its
totally streetable.

   All this for only $120,000, installed. :-) If you'd like to place
an order, their web site is at http://supervipersystems.com/
