Default Re: SRT6 Engine Transplant

I have completely gutted the car, there are photos on my cardomain page and here in this forum... Added 110 lbs with a SCCA regulation cage... The car originally weighed 3,060 lbs with 1/2 tank of gas before it was gutted and caged. Now it weighs 2,440 with a half tank of gas... I weigh 175... So total would be 2,615... I'm too lazy to figure a HP/WT ratio, but will have to do that when the car is completely rebuilt for classing purposes...

I'm just guessing on the final HP for now, but think 360 is probably in the ballpark, considering the manual trans has much less powertrain loss to the wheels than the auto... Please don't hold me to these numbers till we get the thing in and dyno'd... Heck even if the engine spits out the OEM 330 hp and I don't get any increase from the mods, I'll still be putting down a crazy hp/wt ratio... It should be a rocket, you are right...

Forget the lotus' I think I'm going to be somewhere in the same hp/wt ratio range as the Z06... Or the Shelby GT500...
