Dodge Ram Hemi
I wouldnt have taken these things seriously had my friend's dad not gotten one, i saw him at a light, and he started revving, i hit about 4k rpms, and the light changed, he got on it and b4 i knew gained a about half a length on me, but by the end i had my length and a half back, but those things, despite the weight are serious with those Hemi's in them

Indeed its not, wonder what it would take to throw one in a thirdgen. That'd be interesting to see. Lots of torque on that thing. Is it a 350 or larger displacement?

all i know is that that new 300c runs a really low 14 to really high 13 and that thing weighs like 4200lbs!! So a mid 13 i think would be easy to achive in a 3rd gen... but then people will say its a mutant car and blah...

They are probably quicker or slower depending on the configuration. Remember you can get a hemi in the 1/2 ton,2-door, 2wd with 3.92 gears. That would cost you a little over 20k after the rebates....
They don't have the variable displacement tech like the 300c & R/T yet, I think. And they are iron blocks still (aluminum heads).
My biggest complaint is that they are only available with an auto. Otherwise I'd definately have myself a new tow truck- a patriot blue stripper hemi with a manual.

Them Ram trucks aint no punk...last spring I was playing with one in traffic. Everytime there was a break in traffic, Id floor it and try to get in front, but she did too. I couldnt get that extra clearance to get in front of her until we hit a light, then it was pretty easy. I think what helps them is they have 5 speed automatics.
btw this was when I had the stock L98

the hemi injection system are nice and they have two sprak plugs per pistion.
my 1970 c10 350 long bed put out a stock power of 300hp and 380ft.lbs but people are not screaming about it like its a hemi. track times 16.1@89mph not bad for a 4200lbs truck. it know can hit 11s with a 541hp and 600ft.lbs 350 same motor just on $5200 worth of modds first car i ever had was a truck still got it to stil rac eit i say hemi wants a peace he can have it .
hemi,s are cool but give me a turbo fire or turbo jet chevy small block any day.

well they supposedley have two spark plugs per cylinder just like the old hemi's it makes for a more fuel effeicent. but i have never really looked to see but thats what the stats say. by the way watch out for the rumble bee versions of the ram they look almost excatly like the SRT-10 but they only have a hemi in them and they dont have the viper wheels but are still incredible fast for a truck.

well I know for a fact that there are 8 coilpacks and each cp has 2 terminals, one primary fire and one secondary fire that goes to anothe sparkplu on the other side of the motor to complete combustion of an opposing cylander(or something like that). either way you will have 16 sparkplug wires under your hood. if you only have 8 plugs than 2 wires are going to one plug?
oh well, I give up on this topic, you'll find out when you do a tuneup

stock for stock a hemi truck will beat an l98. the l98 is good off the line, but has no topend. maybe not a 4 door 2500 hemi truck, but a reg cab reg bed 1500 will take a stock l98.:lala:

yes the truck weighs more, but it also has 3.92 gears compared to the 2.77 or 3.27 rear the l98 comes with. 3.92 gears plus 375 tq equals off the line power. I know it sucks, but a 6000lb truck will hang with and/or beat a stock l98. Ive done it. Hemi vs LS1, however, is no chance in hell.

that would have to be one crappy running L98 to loose to a ram yeah there fast for trucks but there is no way they are running 14's unless my LG4 is running low 15's stock.

seems to me that there are quite a few people that are running high 14's on stock trucks. Its sad but true. I used to have an lg4, and it sucked. But i did a lot of work on it and made it respectable, but if your running around in a stock lg4 or even an l98 your gonna have your hands full. But honestly, who is bone stock that races? That goes both ways, however, and youll see on that website their are many ram trucks with mods that are seing times any where from high 13's to low 12's. Im just saying dont roll up to one thinking your going to dominate it because its "a fuggin tank" or you might get surprised.

Ain't a true Hemi though... if you look at the combustion chamber shape, you'll see what I mean.

you all may not want to believe me but i beat one of those trucks at the 1/8 mile a couple of months ago. i pulled up and saw the hemi badge and though, this could be interesting. i pulled him pretty bad...all the way down the track. my boss has one too, i want to race him but so far i haven't gotten a chance to.

where are these fast hemi trucks? we were in a 89 buick 3.3 v6 and we race a shortbed hemi we get to the next light and asked if it was a hemi he looked confused and looked down at his truck and said "I thought it was" it was funny he was still fast enough to kill some hondas though

Hemi vs. Z-28
My dad just got an 04 Hemi Rumble Bee. We ran it against his 91 z a few times. It depends on who gets the better jump off the line. I could beat him out but he'd pull to a fender. BTW, the Hemi has 345 hp and 385 ft lbs, but has trac control that wont let it use it all. The computer kills the power, then opens it up. Mother Mopar is working on a computer with 200 more hp for it and should be out this winter. OPPPS, almost forgot...the Z is a stock LB9 with a 700r4 and 2:73's. Hope this helps.
