what exactly is the 290hp/303tq number......
what exactly is the 290hp/303tq number......
next time you look at the dyno sheet go down to the botten right side of the dyno sheet and click on the box with arrows this will make it bigger....then you will be able to see the numbers

I find it amazing that I have less of a drivetrain loss than a 2wd Dodge does.....and I've got ALOT more parts spinning under there than they do

The potential power in the new "hemi" engine is excellent.
I don't remeber exact STOCK head flow numbers, but I know it was good enough to support 425HP. Funny, that was what the 426 hemi's rated output was from the factory.
I believe dodge has detuned the engine alot in preperation for the HP wars. They will be able to raise the output buy 80hp to keep up with competion just by tuning the computer. And it will not cost them a dime more, but will cost you thousands more. This is also why dodge so closely guards there ecm programming.
They are also talking trash about increasing the displacement of the hemi. Like they just thought of this or something.

Now that I've made that statement I will also say that GM's 4L60-e 4-spd automatic is a god-awful useless piece-of-**** transmission when it comes to handling anything other than stock power numbers...it has great efficiency, but breaks if you even look at it the wrong way
I WAS trying to tell you that you put good numbers down.....and doing it through a less-than-wonderful transmission makes those numbers all the better in my eyes...so the next time you decide to get defensive try to realize that ALL brands of trucks have problems (even yours)
