id say 500hp max no 4psd,no sticky tires, ive seen then bend from launching and tear out mains fron drag racing, but in circle track ive seen guys spin them 7,500 rpm with good results, much lighter


MOPAR OR NO CAR

There was a magazine article on this once.
Conclusion: As said above, a true, dyno'ed, ~500 hp. at the flywheel if you abuse it.
Behind a high stall automatic, even higher.
They're not shabby pieces.
