They dont live up to the early Hemi's because GM made the first ones

Just about every import manufacturer makes motors with Hemispherical combustion cambers. Ergo ricers are hemis.

Anyone driven a reg cab stripper with a Hemi? I was very impressed with it.

For better results drive it like you stole it, with all the power on the high end you need to get those revs up. A good CAI, headers, and exhaust should yeild you well over half a second 1/4mile improvments.

From onyx's sig: Radix, Nelson tune, TOGs, TT3000, Billet servos, 4.10s, Eaton.

I wonder why you whoop him?


One thing I do have to give Dodge credit for is the interior space in the reg cabs. Im a big guy and I find my GM some what cramped at times.

The problem is they weigh a lot more that a chevy. My XCab 4x4 weight 4,850. The Dodge xcab 4x4 is 5,500. SCSB CHEVY is like 4,300 whlie their SCSB is 5,000. The motor is more powerful but it is pushing a pig.
