    Which will determine who leaves first but won't affect his ET as his lane timer doesn't start until his car moves.

    And that doesn't effect my overall time because the time is taken from beam to beam. The only thing that effects is if I am racing another car from what I was told. From the time I punch it and break that first beam until I break the 2nd would be almost identical to the Dragy time. That's been proven.

    How did you modify the exhaust? You cannot install headers on a 3.6 because the exhaust "manifold" is part of the head. You can only use performance headpipes with high flow cats or modify your own.

    The intent is to give an indication of the performance potential of the car, not necessarily the driver.

    Don't recall where your hp's at but Dodge announced a 525hp version of the new twin turbo inline 6. Probably price it way beyond what you're into yours for.

    I'm at 438.9hp to the wheels on the dyno. I assume that Dodge figure is the crank horsepower. My crank hp was 591.9 on the dyno.

    Yes the Dodge figure would be at crank. I'm at 480 whp which puts me at 550 crank in a supercharged R/T, long tubes, complete exhaust, intake (add 15% to whp). Feel like we've visited this before?

    Not sure.
