Thanks for keeping the HEMI mentality in check and not letting it get to your head. Whats next for your truck?
No problem! I don't like blow hards or liars, doesn't matter what they drive. As far as my Ram, won't do much more. I said I would go intake, exhaust and tuner which I've done. The intake and exhaust really didn't do much, the Ram OEM stuff is pretty good. The tuning sucked though and the Superchips really woke the truck up. It drives now like it should brand new, what a difference. The SC lowered my 0-60 time by .5 seconds and the 1/4 time by .4 seconds according to my G-tech, really drives nice now. I don't think it's so much the power increase as it is the TM reduction, the trans shift points and trans tuning. It just seems alot more responsive now, the gas pedal, the trans shifting, everything. What I do want is an Limited Slip rearend, I was a moron and bought a truck that didn't have one. It has 3.92 gears and the Hemi engine so I thought it had the LS rearend from what I had read, wrong. Other than that, won't do much.
Jim

Yeah, right!!! I love all of those characters over there.....I really do. It's always stock for stock with those guys. I've never been to the racetrack and had two "racers" bitching over which vehicle was faster stock. Stock means **** to me!!!
On a side note....If I did convert over, I would easily be in the top 5 slot over there because I would simply do the 6.0L/4l80e swap in my hemi like I did my little 4.8L.

You see how many posts I've wasted F-ing with those guys. I spend most of my time going over to the state forums and begging hemis to show up at the tracks. For some reason, though, they never do?!?!?!

::shakes his head:: I don't want to sound mean, but that guy is dumb. How would he make up 1/3 of a mile when the 5.3 was already doing 90mph and he was doing 63mph or whatever? I should think it'd take much more than a minute. Nothing against the truck, but some of those guys are a little too cocky.
