For you dynojet fans that is about 228rwhp on a dynojet or about 268 crank hp...ish.

He can post up and confirm those N/A numbers. I am not sure what all he has modification wise.
Depending on how you do the numbers it is 273 or 293 HP. One is bases on the 215 HP stock at crank as advertised by Chrysler. The other is based on the fact that the SLK is touted at 229 HP stock.

Wheel HP was 154, is now 193.5. Per the Dyno. (Thanks Tony)

Basicaly a 26% increase over 229 is 288+ HP

All my Mods are from Eurocharged. Aluminum 3" CAI into the standard throttlebody, one K&N filter mounted in the right front fender box. Also, 19 lb injectors, new NK plugs, back Cat deletes and a dyno tune.
Rev limiter was adjusted up for 6800 rpm's in 1st,2nd, 3rd gear. 6300 in 4th, 5th, 6th.

The car is on fire. My manual shifter seems perfectly calibrated to the power band. I can burn in first, scratch in second and chirp third. Do not as yet have 1/4 mile times but would conservatively guess high 13's.

Not an SRT but the wider RPM range and the extra torque lets me give Cathy's SRT a good test. We have a 1/4 mile entrance ramp we use daily to go home together. It is always race day. She used to beat me by 4 or 5 lengths, now only two.
She is 400HP at the crank.

Either my engine is stronger, or I'm shifting way way better, or Cathy is being kind. I doubt the latter.

One more bonus. Fuel consumption went from 27.5 MPG to 29.5 MPG. Even though I now drive like an idiot. Just can't help it. Car refuses to be sedate.

Like I said, it's on fire.

Thanks Eurocharged.
