The upcoming MOPAR upgrade kit is factory warrantied and brings peak power to like, 305 or so for like, 3-4 grand. A little pricey, but the factory warranty is niiiiiice. i just looked at a Mini Cooper S, they wanted 23.5 for it... hmmm, 100 more hp for $4k less............

That was me.
The reasoning I have for doubting the power of the engine: Where I work, we have 16 dyno cells which run a SHITLOAD of tests for Ford, GM, and DCX and are completely unbiased. (The tests are largely FOR those companies fitted with our companies parts sometimes.) And I have SEEN that engine run a max power/torque test before and talked to the people who administer it and both confirm that is not outputting the power it should (or what you guys claim it does.)
Now I was planning on posting pictures of screen shots of OUR dyno tests the next time the engine is running which was supposed to be fairly soon, but after thinking it over in my head and asking my dad who is the manager of the cells, it would violate or company policy to post those pictures. Anyone who works in a large company understands why...propietary/confidential information, that sort of thing.
After seeing this dyno run though, I am more convinced of that it produces more power now. The only difference I can think of is that our tests are always run with the engine out of the car. (Those engines never even sit in a car once)
Oh well, rant off. I'm glad your car is performing to your expectations Ray, enjoy it!
