Not really. The disconnect between the force "horsepower" as a measurement represents, and the methodology of chassis dynos has generated volumes of data and countless articles. If you know any mechanical engineers, ask them about it. In any case, all mods are ineffective in producing power increases on SRT 4s, especially boost controllers and most especially *your* boost controller. There have been many recent experiments of late that have proven with a statistically significant probablility, that electronic devices can be influenced by thought. The most definitive experiment involved test subjects attempting to modify the output of a random number generator by force of will alone. They acheived a statistically significant corrolation. The upside here is that any so-called "dyno results" that you have that may suggest that your car received a performance boost from you bolt on modifications were actually caused by by your expectation that there would be an increase in performance.
Your increase in performance was an illusion. The car is likely making near stock horsepower.
