At what temp was your charger at? I have seen SRT-8's dyno at over 380HP bone stockbut the temp gauge reading under 100 degree's.

had kooks headers installed yesterday then dyno tested at 385 hp to the wheel!

Our heatsoak sets in at precisely 190 degrees. Get a 180 degree thermostat, run a fan mod and you'll easily stay out of heatsoak. At 190 we lose about 20hp.

You could also just dynamat under the carpeting on your floor (whole cabin) and your trunk. Drone is simply resonance transfered from the mufflers to the body (floorboard on our cars) and dynamat can reduce these effects.

This is a common problem with cars in general. You love the loud exhaust cruising around, but hate it on trips. Sorry, there is no perfect way to fix this... if you want it LOUD you have to put up with interior NOISE.

Please don't dyno your cars at under 100 degrees. Minimal operating temperatures for safe operation at WOT is 140 degrees. This is why if you don't warm your car up before driving you throw codes.

Well he told that the best temp is when your car is warm enough to were your car is idleing at its normal RPM. For the R/T its stock idle is 650RPM I think I tested at what temp my car is at when its at that idle and I think it was just over 100

Well, I'd take the advice of an SRT Engineer before a "random car guy", and the collective knowledge of over 8000 LX owners. (Obviously not on this forum)
He may know cars in general, but unless he is specifically knowledgeable on OUR very finicky cars... I'll stick to what I know. And I dyno mine quite often.

06MNRT,
Yes, it is loud! Nice, but for a long trip, I'd have to have a quieter car... I've had loud in the past and too bad there wasn't a switch for LOUD and quiet... LOL.
By the way, I saw in one of your earlier posts that you said there was no chip that worked well in the 6.1 -- have you tried B&G's stage II module? They claim a third party dyno'd a 6.1 with their Stage II module and got 30 HP and 30 foot pounds additional boost.

Yes there is a minor tune available from B&G that not only improves certain performance parameters, but has also been able to show a 30hp gain. Sadly though still no true air/fuel adjustments which is what we need the most.

Just Joined - First set of tires
Just joining, would like to say "Hi" to everyone.
I just got my '07 Superbee in May and absolutely love it!
How long has anyone made it before having to replace factory tires?
I'm trying to take it easy, but how can you with this machine.
