Default Horsepower/torque

Just wondering if anyone has the rear wheel horsepower and torque figures for an '08? Also what are the styling cues that differentiate the '07.5 from the '08, if any?

Damn. That's a good question. Doubt they shaved a thousand, plus, pounds off that badboy.

Why do you need rear wheel hp and torque numbers? Are you comparing against someone else's vehicle that was tested on a chassis dyno? For an estimate of rear wheel numbers, you could take the brake hp and torque (350 and 650 for the 2008 Cummins 6.7 w/ auto trans) and subtract about 12%.

I know my 325-600 in stock form will pull about 280hp and 550tq.

so your 350-650 is probably pushing 305hp and 600tq at the wheels.

should be more like 15% for stick, 18% for an auto... look at drews #'s and he's at approx 14% with the stick.
