The HP numbers look good, but the TQ seem a bit low.

Every where I look, I'm told the TQ #'s are also real good.

Now for a Diablo, just to get the rest out of that motor.

As long as you have some starting numbers, thats all that matters. Now pair it up with some 1/4 mile times and your rockin. What mods are planned? Its great to see your car WOT the first time up close isn't it.

Yeah I will probably have to break down and get a Diablo. I would like to do CAI next. Just can't decide which one to get. Im afraid to do anymore mods. The car is scary enough already with the ESP off. So are the cops who keep stopping me. My goal is to break 400 HP at the rear wheel. I hope CAI and Diablo will do it. Other than that I would like to do some other things like cosmetics and strut bracing / suspension work. Nothing to fancy yet, just bolt on stuff we can do at mod days for now. Dont want to void the warranty just yet.

Dyno number vary allot depending on dyno's. Those numbers look about right.

I'm doing the same by playing w/ cosmetics, exhaust, cai and suspension. Only 4K miles til my drivetrain warranty is out. I'll probably not do anything much to it anyway. Save that hot rodding for the barn yard Duster.

Pondering a Diablo in the future, but that is about it for my daily driver.

Hmmmm 400 @ the wheels?! Sorry, but your gonna need more than a diablo and CAI. If your happy with the performance side, work on tighting the car up in the corners. Regardless of what you do though, get a diablo first.

I tend to agree, though starting w/ a Diablo is definitely the right thing to do. We can sho you plenty of options this weekend.

Thanks Guys. Diablo and CAI will be first. Higs my goals is still 400 at the rear wheel. So will have to to discuss some options.

Les- I'm sorry but I am not going to be able to attend Sat. You know with my job it is hard this month.

Yep, a bit more needed than just a tune. Add high-flow cats and a full exhaust and I think you will be there. Remember, the SRT8 Charger is the tightest handling of all the SRT8's. No need to overhaul the suspension unless you are tracking on a regular basis.

When you say full exhaust, do you mean headers? Because the only thing restricting the air flow now is the new mufflers

Exhaust just means 'less restrictive' than stock. Stock headers + hi-flow Cats. You will be over 400RWHP with just Cats, Tune, I, and Exhaust.
