Aye if anything the Rumble Bees are slightly slower since they got all that extra molding on them. I've gone to a lighter suspension with the lowering kit, I am down to 4750lbs with me in it if I take off the tailgate spare and run 1/4 tank of gas. Now if the weather would just hold I could get some new times with the new mods.

Yeah...I weighed mine at 4950#, but I had my spare and tailgate on.

If you have it on video then yes awesome time and bad *** truck, but for N/A and full stock exhaust with some bolt-ons. I'm just trying to do the math and for a truck the wheighs around 4600-4900# that would mean you would have roughley 380-390hp @ the crank with stock exhaust.

The tranny in these rams is very mushy, Drivetrain loss is 23-25% on them. I am making about 415 at the crank right now for my 320 dyno.

What sucks is without the sae correction, my truck only makes 298rwhp at 2300ft elevation.

Not that I doubt these engines can't make that much power but for someone to say there running a 13.9? @94mph with a few bolt on mods and full stock exhaust is little much. Toe in your sig you have a cam, headers, chip, shift kit, and some other things and your time is 14.1 @? and this guy is saying hes 2 10ths faster with just a CAI and chip. BS!!!!!!!

My run was before the cam and shift kit. It was just headers, exhaust, cai and programmer for that run which is basically the same mods mjfikac has.

The 2/10ths diff could be weight of the wheels, mine are 92lbs each, better driving, or the exhaust cutouts, these hemi's really like to breath, and behave a little differently then a chevy with cutouts.

Again you just proved my point, the Hemi's like to breath and with a stock exhaust it ain't happening, unless he goes internal. Anyway what are your times with the cam and shift kit? Thanks

I should be able to tell you that next weekend. I was running lean for a while so I didn't want to risk gernading the engine, got that fixed, and it's been raining the last 3 weekends and this weekend is the IRHA Nationals at my track so no racing for me. I'll hopefully post some new times next Saturday.
