Me friend just bought a "Mega cab" 2007 Dodge Hemi 5.7L.
Anybody know how fast they are?
They have to weigh a ton. Just wondering if he asks to race, would it be worth my time? I dont think he would win but, would it be close?
He's 100% stock and I have a few mods (440RWhp/460RWTQ)
JUST WONDERING.

 

wow 440RWH nice... thats a nice number..... must have a nice set up... i dont think that you will have any trouble smoking his *** with those kinda numbers...

 

Couple pounds of boost, a cam, 4.10/eaton posi and, the 6L swap. You know, the way GM should have built it from the factory. Its fun to drive. I just want to make sure I can live up to my "Yeah, it'll beat a Hemi" bumper sticker

 

well 440RWHP is a good number and i think you can beat just about any stock truck that they make.... even weighing in at as much as you do... your power and TQ will make up for the weight in a hurry

 

i think you will smoke his ***. those trucks are heavy as ****.

 

it would probly be a better race if ur in reverse

 

those hemis only get around 280?hp to the wheels. and its probably just a little bit heavier than the quad cab. i think those megacabs are around 6000 lbs. and your 6500 lbs. i think you will smoke him pretty bad.

just a note i found on the website from dodge: "Ram 1500's hydroformed frame rails are molded with highly pressurized water, which saves weight by eliminating the welds needed to assemble a conventional stamped boxed frame section"

i dont know if i would want my frame to be welded by water.

 

Me being a Hemi fan, I'd say that it would be no contest. You'll kick his *** with the mod's you have.

 

Actually my truck weighed in at 5800lbs in street trim (with me in it). If he really is at 6000lbs I dont think I have anything to worry about.

 

in 4 wheel drive mag a while back they dynoed a ram hemi and it was one making 220hp it had like 30,000 miles they sad they were very disappointed with the numbers
