lower numeric gearing actually HELPS dyno numbers. also, the chargers wheelbase is only a little larger than the challengers so that shouldnt make much of a difference at all. and last but not least, the 425hp srt's consitantly put down 360rwhp which is closer to 14-15% drivetrain loss. Their auto trannies put down just as much as the manuals, their autos are pretty damned efficient. 412rwhp means these chargers probably make about 480hp......what are the challenger srt8's rated at??
