Let's go ahead and sit down with this....
A Dodge SRT-10 makes 500bhp w/525lbs of tq and weighs in at 5000lbs curb weight
the S331 makes 450bhp w/500lbs of tq and weighs in at 4700lbs curb weight.
The Saleen S331 is a Supercharged V8, it uses a roots twin screw S/C....a simple pulley change and re-tune would throw the truck well over 500bhp mark....because it's just up'ing the boost to the S/C....
with that said, that 1 modification would throw the S331 over the 500hp mark, and the fact its lighter, it shouldnt have a problem running down the SRT-10.
Both trucks are roughly the same price, but when it comes to power per dollar, the Saleen will win because that V-10 motor doesnt come cheap to mod....I mean....look at what the CAI runs for it....$595.....You can get a pulley and a half ass tune for that much for the Saleen.
I'm not trying to argue, I'm just saying that everyone who's driving and has modded a SVT knows instantly to make quick cheap power, to swap pulleys, get a re-tune....and bam, you're off and running.
you can goto a SVT Lightning or Cobra forum and you will see it for your self....I'm not making this shit up....it's there!
