Default RE: Magnum Rules! - 264HP???????

How is the 264HP possible if you ran it on the Dyno?
The 250HP is at the rear crank.
An equivalant amount of rear wheel HP to 250 would be about 175-190HP, depending on the losses through the powertrain.
If you had 264 rear wheel HP, then you must not have the V6, you must have the HEMI, because 264 rear wheel HP equates to about 340 HP at the crank.

negative on the Hemi - running the 3.5 V-6 with reworked intake, throttle body, and a few other little tricks we won't go into here. We are starting to work on a turbo for the Magnum now. Will let you know how it progresses.

I want a turbo setup for mine. I can't wait until some serious mods for the HEMI hit the street. C'mon Borla, get that exhaust done already! The first practical and reliable turbo or blower that hits the streets, I will have one.

I love this car.

I don't have the need for speed in this ride, just looks and comfort.

Which is it? No need for speed or reworking the intake and adding a turbo????? I'm confused.

What can I say - I changed my mind. It is just too much fun to experiment with this car. We are going to start looking in to a suspension mod next, maybe lower it about 1" and see what happens. Here's what it looks like now.

Whats with the back window? Learning photoshop?

And just to keep the board interesting I'll post my comments. I dont like the mods you did. Especially the wheels. A step down in the clean lines that I like about the Magnum. True, I dont really like the SXT wheels compared to the RT, but I'll take the stock over those aftermarket jobs anyday. Just one man's opinion. Keep posting the pics tho, I'm enjoying the updates.

Sikpuppy, The interior looks great, but the rims and closing out the back window, it went from looking cool to looking like something from pimp my ride. 2 each his own I guess.

Photoshop - not that crap again! I thought we had all outgrown that sort of baloney. Anyway, reasons for madness, and like you said, to each his own. Pesonally, I like the wheels and most people do but................ To me, the factory wheels look more like wagon wheels than anything, very BORING on such an impressive vehicle. Once again, to each his own. No matter what, ANY Magnum looks great unless you go WAY overboard (22's, flared fenders, neon lights, pimp, pimp, pimp and awayeeeee we go|!!) which, as far as the outside mods go, I am like a good steak, DONE!!! By the way, the next time I see my buddy with his new Chrysler 300C, I'll get some pics to post of his awesome stereo and video install a local shop did. Really nice.

LATER!!
