the 2005 club cab sport hemi you see below is quite slow......nothing like that badass head turning silverado SS

 

I'm sure that it's possible but more of an exception than the rule.

 

From what you're saying, you don't like the Hemi Ram and you love the Silverado SS? Stock for Stock, how big a difference was there in performance? Do you have stock track times for both? The SS has alot more mods than the Ram does so it should be faster.

How does 20 hp shave .8 tenths of a second of your times? And 14.67 bone stock? Maybe if you had a vid to prove it. Not trying to start anything, just hard to believe you.

 

read the link sierra posted.....that was my views on both of the vehicles.

on a 1-10 scale of how much i like a truck, the SS gets a 8, and the hemi gets a 7. i like them both very much. the hemi is a blast to drive.

the stock times i had for the hemi quad cab were in the mid 16s. times i had for the SS with the only mod being flowcrappers was low 15's. its safe to say the silverado ss stock is quite a bit faster than a quad cab hemi stock. now for a regular cab hemi stock and a stock silverado ss, iam sure it would be much more close on the times, if not about the same.

 

OK, read the thread link Gonzo posted, good review. Now I don't know this for a fact but I've read (and it may all be excuses) that the reason a Hemi Ram doesn't dyno well is the TM. I'm not sure how TM would or could affect a dyno since I've never dynoed a vehicle but that's what some Hemi owners (seems like the more knowledgable truck owners) are claiming. I would also like to see a Hemi Ram perform with the TM reduced or removed to see how much it's actually holding the engine back. Superchips is suppose to release a programmer for the 04 Hemi Rams, I hope they do something with the TM! From what one guy is saying, he's actually talked to the SuperChips techs at the SuperChips office, the 04 tuner is suppose to produce better numbers than the tuner for the 03's. Well see!

that would be awesome if superchips came out with this.
i was under the impression that these trucks could not be tuned in any way shape or form because of that pcm lock or whatever it may be called. that does sound reasonable about the TM thing and the dyno graphs. any vehcile will run quicker without any TM. i guess we will have to see.

 

not trying to get into a pissing match but that truck will and did run what times he said. that all i have to say.

 

The 03 Hemi boys are claiming about .3-.5 reduction in times with their SuperChips tuners. The dealer at Hemi Truck Club said he was notified by SuperChips to expect the 04 tuners by April or May, and it's already April. The Superchips is suppose to do things the Hypertech didn't do for the 04's, shift firmness and rpm shift adjustments, correct speedo for different size tires along with the top speed limiter raised & rpm's limit raised. I hope it's all true, I had a Hypertech and it wasn't tuner friendly at all, only three choices.
