Are you saying that people are getting 200 mph out of their R/T's, and that you have had your R/T to 180 mph? And you have an exhaust, cold air intake, and engine programmer. I take it the engine programmer does away with the electronically limited 149 mph.

My SRT has a Magnaflow competition series exhaust, but is stock otherwise, and it tops out at 168 mph. You could hold it there all day long if you wanted, and watch the speedometer needle move between 166, 167, 168, 167, 168, 167, etc., but it won't go over 168. So if my exhaust upgrades are similar in performance gains to yours, you are gaining the horsepower difference between the 5.7 and the 6.1, plus enough horsepower for another 12 mph top end speed, with a cold air intake and an engine programmer. The cold air intake is going to give you another horsepower or two over stock. How much HP do you think you gained with the engine programmer?
