hi,

I just looked at the spreadsheet and noticed my car is rated at 250 hp, when the manufacturers claimed horsepower is only 230. Just wanted to know if i have more pips to work with then i thought.

thanks,

Sean

Yes indeed, we raised the factory horsepower rating on the SRT-4 to 250 hp because it's so well established that these engines, bone stock, make 225+whp. We couldn't, in good conscience, leave the factory rating in place and give the SRT-4 an unfair advantage simply because Dodge gave it such a conservative rating.

They will be neutered via suspension rating, in all likelihood.

You, on the other hand, will be neutered at the local vet :p
