I just got a response from a guy in Atlanta that has a DynoJet .
He told me that he has put a Paxton on a '98 R/T and it raised the
rear-wheel HP from 190 to 330 HP .
Now that's great and all , but here comes the dumb question :
Is the 250 Peak HP that Chrysler claims the HP at the flywheel or what ?
I thought they stopped that in the seventies and started doing them all
at
the rear wheels ?
I hate to sound stupid , but maybe I am ......
They measure at the crank. The switch they made was from SAE Gross to
SAE net or something like that. Basically I've heard that your '70 475
HP LS-6 in 98 would be more like 350 hp. Just a way the manufacturers
tried to get around insurance regs and stuff like that I suppose.
