Oh I know, we went over this on DTO back when the hemis came out. The torque is about right, but the issue is with the hp number - with the 105 mph speed limiter active, you peak out at 1000 RPM under the claimed hp peak of 5400 RPM (and if you disable the limiter as I did, the computer gets confused about what's going on and the graph gets all spikey and weird, we think the timing is being bounced around). I had it up to 147 mph on the dyno, but I wouldn't advise doing that again with the stock tires, they damn near blew off the wheels.
