My proffesional guess and expert knowledge is that the WHP would be in the neighborhood of aprox. 2500WHP with 87octane and low boost. With drag tires (15' of course) the 1/4 mile time would be something like 5.5 seconds with a trap speed of 298mph.
But thats just what I figured out quickly on my texas instrument calculator from the 70's.
Man those Vipers are fierce I wouldnt wanna race one.

TT Viper

I'd say TT Vipers are pretty strong. Would not want to mess with one. 150mph+ traps...geez.

Good for Dodge. Keeping the HP race going can only do positive things for the industry.

It's obvious the 90 extra HP is not coming from the new displacement. I assume it revs harder and breathes better...
