Discussion
Thought I would start a new thread as it was OT on the other one.
As Neil has already said though shoebag made 490 BHP and I got 460 BHP which I’m quite pleased with being a euro, thought it would be less given we never really knew what the euro numbers were from stock and where we can get back to by removing the airbox restrictor etc. Just need to figure out where Shoebag got that extra 30Hp from. So I’m waiting with bated breath to hear if Dad’s Toys US ECU makes a difference. Or if the cream puffs have a bit more puff.

Shame they couldn’t hold the rumble bee down long enough to get a safe reading after all the effort getting it on the rig.

what were the max torque figures and top speeds?
Jans Dodge ACR has the borla cat back, 460bhp in standard form, didn't think the exhaust alone would be worth that much extra, sweet
all 'Chrysler' euro vipers are around 390bhp, no were near the full Dodge bhp, with your mods 460 is a great figure.
The improved OE headers on the later models seems to make a lot of difference over the earlier gen2's

I was thinking the quoted ACR numbers weren’t much more than the GTS’s (10hp or so) so it looks like Jan has a pretty strong ACR there. I was worried that I might be sub or low 400’s given the figures I’ve seen for the euro vipers so I’m pretty happy to be at 460.
We don’t have the charts at the moment as vixpy’s printer broke down but he has them all saved and will hopefully email them out soon.
Yep Baz they were calculated flywheel numbers, I think Jan made 404 at the wheels, didn’t get my wheel numbers but based on jans that would put me at about 380 at the wheels hopefully the sheets will show this.
Are my numbers still good
For the record the mods I have are
Smooth tubes
K&N filters
Air box restrictor delete
Corsa Cat back (stock headders and cats)
VEC 1 (set to zero as I haven’t tuned it yet, need to talk to vixpy)

I guess you can improve your figures fairly easily and cheapily if you wanted to by installing hi-flow cats or removing them altogether, and by subsituting for later headers
Or fitting aftermarket ones instead, if your feeling flush. Can't speak for the VEC1.
460 looks good to me but you could always slap a bottle of NOS on

yet. But plans are in motion for the cats coming out. Then we will have to see how things go. 
Where can one go for a Dyno test in NORTHANTS? However I must admit I'd drive it anywhere just for the excuse to cruise at warp speed...(thank you Diplomatic Immunity for keeping annoying speeding tickets away)!! I'd like to have 2 performed after I get the smooth tubes w/K&N filters, Hi Flow Cat's and Corsa Exhaust installed. One with the European ECU, the other with the replacement American ECU I have sitting next to me...Cheers.
Talking to Baz last night, we could possibly arrange a dyno day and add it onto the Luton lunch meet, dyno in the morning and grub in the pub as usual in the afternoon.
It would mean swapping to a saturday rather than the sunday, there happens to be a venue about 15 mins from the pub Baz will check it out if there's enough interest ?
We chatted last year about arranging a dyno day,
So anyone fancy it ?

No but I did notice Jan’s maxed out the dyno speed which is presumably why there are a couple of wobbly bits at the end of her run, where as mine they shut down although reaching higher RPM. But then mine shows it going to 6400 RPM which should be beyond fuel shut off.
I guess the excitement/stress of having the car on the dyno precluded me from asking any real questions.
