I know the crew cab fully pimped out 09 hemi trucks with 390hp will out run the 09 charger R/T that carries 370hp (we had to test the products we sold...), probally the challenger as well as it is only a few hunderd pounds lighter. the 6 speed gets you a "free'er flowin exhaust with a more aggressive tone" which nets you 5 more hp and 6 more ftlbs of tq

An excellent question my lil' Mes'kin friend ...
My buddy that I used to work with built that motor in Baltimore back in 1992 without even a torque wrench ... in a shipping container that had one light bulb hanging from the ceiling. He was drag racer back in California in the 60's and his claim to fame was a victory on a local SoCal track over a newcomer named Big Daddy Don Garlits. At the time, my buddy ran an un-sponsored, purple Willy's Coupe named "Pussy Galore". Big Daddy got a huge corporate sponsorship deal and ended up in the hall of fame. My buddy knocked up his girlfriend and got a job digging mud to support her.
A dyno shop in San Diego had that motor up to 360 hp at the rear wheels (33's) when they shutdown the machine because the open headers blew out a window in their shop. They estimated it at 400 at the rear wheels and asked me to get the damn thang off their property.
When I quit racin' 'er and started crawlin', we had to take alot of the 'go-fast' shit off 'er to make 'er run consistently at idle. I have no idea how much horsepower we lost in that process.
The 17 years of abuse that the motor lived thru is a testimony to the skills of a man that had a dream of drag racin' ... that he never got to live. 
Moral of the story ...
wear a rubber.

Great story and a good truck that went to better hands, I actually met the guy who bought the cruiser.
I just forgot his name.
I hope your happy w/ what you bought and don't start breaking sh1t, since you said that for this truck no trailer is required. I suggest to bring spares because if you break it, you're screw.
