Once you start adding horsepower there's no way to make a comparison any longer. So give the ZL1 a CAI, I'll put a tune on my Hellcat, get it? I understand there are strict rules to be on the stock list on this forum, and that's fine and good if that's what you're in to. Matter of fact, my bone stock time in my 2SS is on there at #8 currently from when I was base lining the car.

I agree with your point about 'adding horsepower' is no longer stock. But, if using DRs is ok in your opinion what about the guy that puts on slicks? It's a tire change, right?
Nearly every car out there needs a better tire to use the horsepower 'the factory gave you' for the most part and when you are in the 650-700+ range that is no question.
But - it is also no question that changing the tire to a drag radial or slick means the car is no longer 'factory stock'. That's not saying it isn't needed because it is.
I agree that Dodge really screwed the pooch on the HC with putting those skinny tires on it but that is what it comes with and therefore is what is considered 'stock'. Yes, if I buy a HC a tire size/type will be the FIRST mod BUT - I will not argue that it is still stock.
Others apparently feel differently.
