I agree...And that 300 hp is at the crank.

Let's see if we can end this before a fight breaks out. No way the truck owner knows for sure without dynoing it. And there is definitely no way anyone else knows what his truck's HP numbers are by reading his post above.

No I didn't put it on a dyno, because the dynos around here won't tune dodge motors, with SCT programmers.

When I get my Dakota and get the motor situated in it, I'm going to look at a few dyno shops in Massachusetts.
