HP addition is VERY noticeable since it begins at 2,000 RPM with Sean's set up, so everyday drives will be greatly enhanced. No need to bring your revs over 4,000 RPM to get the hit of power.
PM me if you've got questions.

I completely agree. The power is explosive...likely more TQ more down low (and total TQ) than the new Viper. I think a basic 5 pounder is in the 540-550 HP range on a GEN II...also a little higher than the new Viper. Everyday drives are probably 99% of all Viper driving. They are not that hard to install. ....Good 'bonding experience' with your ride!
An added benefit as stated by City Snake is keeping the revs lower, thereby adding engine life. Even when really into the throttle, I try to never shift past 5500. (OK...I have hit the rev limiter a few times due to smoking tires
) If I can catch it, I prefer to shift around 5200-5300 RPM. No reason to go much higher.
The 5 pounder I refer to above was a self install. I'm sure he would be more than willing to give you a ride if it's not put away yet. I can put you in touch if you want.
