Not sure if someone else has already posted this - so my apologies if this is a repeat. Came across this article - some has already been said but some of the pix I haven't seen before - cool stuff.

I think it was a little over 6. As a general rule you lose roughly 15% from the crank to the rear wheels so with 520 at the wheels you are probably right around 610.

Very interesting article with some nice photos, too. (Love that cutaway engine!)

And this reminds me, I've seen conflicting statements about whether the Hellcat engine's combustion chambers are truly hemispherical. This is one article which says they are.

This article at caranddriver.com says they are not.
