Just ran a few calculations, I reckon it was in 3rd gear. 4th gear with those tyres and that diff ratio should see 186 km/h.

Interesting. Glad you guys are on the ball!

So Ive cracked and am now willing to go a cam to suit boost instead of the rockers. Been reading up on cams all arvo but I'm struggling to find a good off the shelf cam to suit the charger. Maybe a custom grind?

Ive looked on the wade, crow, crane sites but all the cams they list seem to suit NA engines.

Or take it to a different dyno and see what it does.

Why are you after more power? You have already said it accelerates hard, it has plenty of torque, who cares how much "power" you make?

Refer to my sig for your earlier comment? LOL



But honestly, he's got a point. You really want more power? Stick a tiny set of diff gears in it. You'll get the power figure your after.
