Re: [Chrysler300] 600 HP from the factory?:

dave;
btw, btw. if youll check out some more of the models and years,
for the 426 hemi, i think that youll find that not all were taken at
5000 or 5200, some were rated at 4500 rpm, least that is what my book
says and as were a couple of my cars. it isnt me, it was wilcap and the
article in hot rod that said 600+, you are quite welcome to decide to
disbelieve all you wish. i can tell you that as the past owner of 6
different hemi cars over a 20 year period, that they DID make QUITE a
lot more power in the 6000 and up area than they did at 4500 or 5000,
DRAMATICALLY MORE POWER !!!! if youve never owned a hemi then you just
dont understand what they did in 3 rd and 4th gear at full throttle, as
the r's climbed from 4500 to 6500[ish]; they felt like a freight train
coming on, and on and on, nothing like them that ive ever driven. it is
[was] something like the [really] big brother of the free boost that the
long rams give, as the r's go up and they come on.
