Yes it will be faster more HWY power also.

It will not turn 9's 1/4 mile time you get low 10"s Ha Ha You have more get up and go thats for sure improve you 0 to 60 times more power up on the HWY at cruising Speeds helps you hold speed on hills and head winds Ect.

Hey derrick, to be honest, the JET Chip Stage 1 is utterly useless...only the stage 2 can really make a difference from what I've read. However, I did get my truck dynoed a few weeks ago before the headers went on...The truck as is ran about 260 hp at 5000 rpms.

Yea that what we all are saying 260 brake HP on a dyno mabe at the crank H/P rating but Brake H/P rating Hum there is a diffrence.

I manafactures give you at the crank H/P ratings, Not at the wheels Brake H/P.

I don't know my self BUT I like to see how they did that I seen engine test cells before where they hook the motor to a water Brake to test at the crank H/P, I seen putting the drive tires on a roller system and test at drive wheel H/P on that type of Brake H/p testing.

There could be a new way to test engine Brake H/P with out removing the motor and putting the motor on a test cell to check it out I know they are using a timming light and counting the strob lights how many times it flashes during the test, Yea thats it.

To get a true H/P rating they normaly hook to a Crank type tester to have a true reading.

Wheel H/P changes thing due gearing Tires Size Ect.

Even 260 at the crank would be a 23% gain, which is alot more than an exhaust and intake could ever do. Thats +50 HP. I've heard rules-of-thumb for driveline losses usually in the 40-60 HP range, obviously highly dependent on setup. 260 at the wheels is pretty respectable for a Hemi...

And Marv...spelling and puncutation, bro.
