I love MDS though, when I was driving the friends Charger that had a HEMI for the 5 weeks I did...

That was a def change from my lil 4cyl 2.0 Colbalt... but I loved it and so did my daughter. Its nice how you can have the power when you need it and when you don't, there is something in there that takes that into account and tries to save you gas

ahh refreshing, back on track, thank you...

Speed limiter maxed, Rev limiter at 6100, 1st to second at 6000, 2nd to 3rd about 100 rpm lower... Max HP gained at the rear wheels are about 22 HP and 20 TQ. Doesn't sound like a lot, but these are actual RWHP numbers, not unrealistic gains at the engine...

Seriously! And those are Superchips numbers, and they are actually conservative from what I'm seeing on dyno data. And that's not a lot, was hanging around KRC Performance the day we spec'd my cam, saw on the pc there, recorded gains from some of Marty's custom SCT tunes. Getting double that on some 4.7s and add just CAI and cat back and he's doing even better...

and besides, aren't you the one got on my a$$, didn't believe a good e-fan could clear 16-18 HP? Mr. Skeptical...

oh i still don't believe that. rmr that i had made some assumptions for my calculations and my calculations ended up sayin 20 hp. but my assumed weight for the fan was twice the weight it actually is, so that cut the hp gain right in half.

when you buy a dyno, we'll talk... friggin engineers anyway, you guys are still trying to prove bees can't really fly and that it's an optical illusion...

bees can't fly?? what? i don't know nothin about that, that's biology or somethin.

btw, anyone can bump up the max rpm on a motor and say they're makin more horsepower. **** that high end garbage. give me the torque where i'll use it on a truck that's hauling.
