Not really. It makes its HP NA. Also the test was with a manual trans GT-500 and the autostick SRT-8. I don't know if it would make any difference, but apples to apples. Also over all the SRT-8 I believe was picked over the GT. But Ford must use a supercharger and with the Dodge , just add one and your so much further ahead I think that the addition of a supercharger should be done aftermarket. When a manufacturer has to go that route, they have run out of creative ideas on how to make HP.
