that leaves only the exhaust and headers, and no exhaust I've seen has ever added significant hp on this car

so that means the headers would've had to add 100 hp, which Eurocharged would've been trumpeting all over the site since they have a dyno ... but they never announced the hp numbers I've seen either, which likely means they added next to nothing

hate to say B.S., but
your math is a little off my friend. Its more like 50whp. Sea level definately helps, but once again its probably one of the fastest SRT6's that we have done. There were tons of hours of tuning that car put in as well as some other "love" that helped complete the system. Its also why we laugh when everyone is always pointing to companies that put the fastest cars on dragtimes. I know of a few of our cars that are easily top 10 that are not listed, this one included.

Headers and custom exhaust did definately add power. Check his build thread... as much as everyone says they don't the dyno didn't lie..

Headers on the SRT6 is not something to take lightly. It is a very taxing install, and for the labor time involved most wouldn't even bother.

Lets not also forget that when we did his car my C32 was trapping around the same speeds.....hum...coincidence....
