Semihemi's QC 2wd with 3.90s and 20s ran a 15.2 with a K&N filter and Magnaflow muffler... but the air was perfect that night.. in the 100* heat he ran 15.8s... which aint bad for a stock hemi with full weight and hard Tonneau..

driving back from lunch today I got next to a flamed CCSB Hemi with superchips and magnaflow stickers pulling up to the stop light. Im pretty sure he noticed the sticker in my back window. We were in light traffic so didn't get going too fast but from a 15 mph roll we both nailed it, about 1 sec later my boost came on I left him like he wasn't even moving up to about 50, lol! Came to the next light and he asked what I had done to it. I told him and he was really impressed and gave the thumbs up. I could only imagine how bad it would have been from a dig. Real cool Hemi guy though, I wish more of them had the same attitude as he did.
Pickin on Hemi's
I use to beat my buddys QC all the time... we raced just for the fun of it..
Now he likes riding with me...
We take mine everywhere...
I did get 16mpg on my last tank and that was 50/50 town and 80+ on the interstate... and in need of a fine tuning session..

Bone stock my hemi RCSB turned a 15.1 at like 89 or 90, heads, cam, a a lot more junk and it saw a best of high 13s. I give up on the hemi as far as a racing application went after dumping a ton of funds into them. You can build them all you want, then you have issues with tuning that kills you, and no matter what one says, you can't tune it enough to justify what your mods can produce. They aren't bad stock for what you get and they have a decent truck by all means, just not enough in the A/M field to pleasure me. I enjoyed both of mine as far as trucks went. Some things I liked more on my silverados of the day, but there was features I liked on the dodge as well. Bone stock there isn't a ton of difference, driver's running pretty much for the most part. I got decent service out of all of mine, both GM and dodge, can't argue the fact there for any means.

At my altitude most N/A trucks are slow period. Trucks similar to mine in stock from will run anywhere from a low to mid 17 same with the dodges. So anytime i go up against a lightly modded N/A truck similar to mine it won't stand a chance.
