Well Lance, I am glad you and your DAK are so good....I just wish people would quit slamming the R/T and just be glad that CC built it and maybe in the future they will built others. Its about time CC built a performance oriented vehicle that normal people can afford. If CC ever starts selling Viper's for $20K, I'll be the first one in line!
P.S. My whole point was that there are other ways to gain 79 hp other than spending a lot of money on a blower.
let's see what it costs for the blower hp: $3000/79hp = $37.97/hp
let's see what it might cost to build up the engine:
Port & polish stock heads and add better springs = $500
extrude hone stock intake and port match to heads= $300
Roller cam & Roller rockers = $450
ported TB = $275
Headers = $375
MP SBEC = $250
(all of the prices I listed are accurate to the best of my knowledge)
Total= $2150
price/hp = $2150/79hp = $27.22/ hp
Your prices may vary, but this is just a comparison anyway.....plus, if you built your motor like this first and then add a blower then you would make some serious power!
