Scott,
Thanks for the link. The guy that did the exhaust on 4x4 Durango ran it on
a DynoJet and said that the "flash readings were 236.1 HP @ x RPM." I had
never heard of 'flash reading' before so I wasn't sure if it was a real
number or the spike that occurs during a shift points on the auto trans.
Anyway the Virginia site you posted estimated a 238.62 HP at the wheels and
310.20 HP at the flywheel. So this gives me a better feeling for what my
5.9L 4x4 Durango is putting out. I know it's and estimate but it is very
close to what I was told so I'm happy!!
