Looking for test data on drivetrain

[JayHemi]

Looking for test data on drivetrain. I may have missed it, but does anyone know what our R/T's drivetrain was tested to by DC. If anyone knows how I could find the spec's, that would be cool too. Mostly I'm curious to know how much it can handle, and which part is the weekest link. I understand that the U-joints will be the weakest, but after adding beef to that, what's next?

No need to have the specs. There are guys that are going to be supercharging their cars soon and we will find out just how much will really kill the engine, tranny, and anything else that could go. I got dibs on the engine going first due to the 3mm distance to the first ring land on the pistons and I personally would have sprung for the forged internals so atleast the engine didn't give out. We shall see soon enough.

Where can I get a price on those Forged pistons? Sounds like fun. I'm hoping nobody loses a ring to it, But I think that may be one of the weak spots.

I have a friend in Germany checking on the governor in Euro versions (chrysler 300c touring), I know they can't sell a car there that has such a low speed limit. So I figure AMG or Brabus will be among the first to really get reliable tuning. I'll post what they find.

The high-performance SRT 6.1-liter HEMI is strengthened with redesigned components, including a reinforced engine block, forged steel crankshaft, high-strength powdered-metal connecting rods, floating-pin pistons (cooled by oil squirters), and an oil pan modified to manage oil return to the pan sump at high engine speeds.

Power for the SRT 6.1-liter HEMI is channeled through an A580 five-speed automatic transmission with specially calibrated driver-selectable AutoStick®, which offers fully automatic or manual shifting selection. A heavy-duty four-flange prop shaft sends the torque from the transmission to an upgraded differential and axles.

No word on if the pistons are forged. They must be different from the 5.7 since the compression ratio changed. But they didn't say forged
