Stock does it shift by 5800 in every shift? As in 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, etc? I ask because if every single shift point is set below 6000 stock then how did Chrysler get away with marketing the HP numbers as:
330 bhp @ 6100 rpm
If the engine never sees 6100RPM one would think they couldnt advertise that as the peak HP?
How does any of the car manufacturer get by with it? They do as they want....I have seen more than 6200 out of the roadster, and I have seen 6000 out of the stock coupe...when you do a tune all the parameters are looked at, but not all can be changed...I believe with more boost, comes more hp, comes quicker response, which create the peak rev...it doesn't sustain that rpm, but bounces off of it...just like a speed limiter will breifly hit 160, but sustain 158....can you say you went 160, even for a moment...yes...but you can't sustain it...same goes for rpms...but in the car's case, it is shifting at that point, so it is still accellerating, still gaining hp....and I also believe all cars aren't the same...some do better than others...
