Tt Srt-10
Anyone wanna spend $42,000 on top of the cost of there SRT-10 and twin turbo it? Come on it adds 350hp! It's only $42,000. God these guys are a joke......
How much does it take to get a Lightning to 850 HP at the crank?

Its different as in its TWICE the price of our cold air kits.And up to 4 times the price if you buy yours from BOP
And please,Dont think you are getting anything but an air filter and a tube for $400. You aint gettin no throttlebody or ram air for $400.
That answers your question on how it is different.

Yawn. Just like mod motors compared to pushrods. "OMG, you guys are paying $800 for headers? We can get ours for $300".
It seems weird that they are referring to the VIPER SRT-10, not the Ram SRT-10 in the heading. Have you seen how expensive it is to modify Vipers? Z06s? Any rare sports car? When you have a limited fan base of an expensive product, and a limited number of vendors, the prices will be high. That's supply and demand. Someone willing to spend $80K on a car only has so many choices to buy parts for it. Another $2k on a set of headers doesn't mean much. It all comes down to disposable income.
Did you also notice that those prices include LABOR, dyno tuning, a fully built engine, exhaust (obviously), and warranty? Call up JLP/PSP/JDM and ask for a quote for a twin-turbo Gen2, with built engine, with labor, tuning, and warranty priced in.
Hell, call and ask for a price for just a built-engine, and mods pushing 800+HP, with labor, tuning, and warranty, and see how much they offer it for.
How much money does it cost to get a Lightning to run 10.13 @ 142? Wait, haven't done that yet.
Anyway, it's Hennessey. They're also known for their very high prices, shoddy work, rip-offs of customers, keeping cars for over a year without touching them, and yet they have a huge cheerleading group.

Viper Engine Controller. Gains 30 hp and 30 lb.-ft. torque or more depending on your level of modifications. Price: $1,295.00 ea "
For $1295.00 you dont get a description of what it is or how ot works or even a picture.....

I also doubt that the system has even been installed on a Ram SRT-10. The write-up there is geared towards the Viper SRT-10. They probably just apply it to the Ram since it's the same engine. As far as the e/t, that was going off their Viper information. So, yes, that was a bad analogy on my part, equally as bad as comparing a Lightning to a Viper 
Who knows how that same set of modifications will result when placed in a Ram and not a Viper. It's too insubstantial to make any comparisons.
