Was the SRT's dyno in a wind tunnel, where dynamic improvements perform? Or was the Ram static sitting still, where dynamic improvements don't perform?

Maybe the people that buy all these parts actually understand this concept. Well, at least some of them must be smarter than the TV commercials themselves.

They are designed to work at 60 mph wind speed, not 0 mph. Most dyno's are 0 mph wind speed.
