at the crank?! who the hell goes by crank HP?! 300@ crank = like 245@ rear wheels for an auto...
nobody cares about crank HP...numbers you put to the ground is what we like to see![Icon Naughty](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_naughty.gif)
example...before I really started modding my truck I did a baseline dyno run just to see what made it to the wheels...
factory rated 235hp/460tq @ crank... 213hp/447tq is what made it to the rear wheels...and that's with boost elbow, boost fooler, straight pipe exhaust, stupid cool air intake previous owner put on and biggest part: manual transmission.
manuals lose a lot less power through the drive train than automatics do...
