By the time that comes out, I'll either have a turbo setup or running 12psi. A quad cab won't stand a chance. I bet it won't put down 400 rwhp in a quad cab. You don't even have any proof of what they will run with the kenne bell.

Better looks, that's your opinion. If I wanted something with cheap looks and bad quality, I would of bought the damn hemi myself. But, look at what I got now, one that is less priced, can carry more passengers, and still beat a hemi.

I had a dodge ram ss/t and that thing was a turd so i traded it in on the L. I have a brand new drw 6.0 and my friend has a ram 3500 with all kinds of work done 'dont know exactly what's done to it but I can find out' and i spank his *** every time we mess around, and he gets mad and says 'I only have a 6 cylinder and you have 8 thats why you smoked me' all you dodge boy's do is come up with excuses why you get smoked. Stop cryin and buy a ford

Yea yea yea, a better looking truck. A friggin pig nose piece of crap is a better looking truck. OK! Lamer. Put a Kenne bell on a lightning which can actually handle that kind of power, and then talk. Fair is fair, buddy.
You won't get much of an increase in power because you already have a supercharger... Genius...

Does that mean if someone goes with aftermarket heads or cams, they won't get much increase because they already have heads and cams?

Your trucks are pretty much maxed out already, the Hemi has just begun, like my 87 5.0 Mustang did years ago...

That is total BS. Look at Neal. 13s without any poweradders and with stock heads and cams.
Lightnings in the 10s. Would you call a 13 second lightning maxed out?

That wouldn't be a legimate street truck, would it? You could put a Ram Body on a Real Hemi from old and run 5's. The new Hemi is not a real Hemi but it has more potential from the design of the combustion chamber and valvetrain than a Ford. Just wait until "anything" high performance comes out for the Ram Hemi.

So, are you saying that 10 sec lightnings have different bodys, or different engines?

Many Lightnings are in the 11s and are still street trucks.

Look at kenne-bells website, 511 rwhp with the kenne-bell swap on a lightning.

They better start making high performance stuff for that hemi soon, because soon enough, even the modded hemis are going to be getting beat by the gen III lightnings stock.

the new hemi is ,to me, a good effort by dodge, remember this is the first year out and if they are anything like ford and chevy they will pick up 15 to 30 hp in the next 2 or three years. who ever said they turned 15.5 in a stock 5.4, that is without a doubt the fastest stock n/a ever post on this site by 2/10ths.

the problem with modifying the dodge is the new drive-by-wire electronic will not let a lot of modifications. the new electronic monitor throttle position and airflow, if the readings are outside of the defined limits, the computer cuts back the fuel and spark. a computer chip might fix the problem but there are not any available yet. (August Hot Rod).

the hemi name is mostly a market tool and you have to admit it is working, just a Chevy uses SS and Ford pulled out the mach 1.

does anyone honstely think the hemi was made to compete with the lightning?

HI!... krwkenny : Does your mommy know your up this late using her computer?

LIGHTNINGS maxed out! Are you smoking crack? There are LIGHTNING's on this site that are making over 600RWH.P and I beleive 1 or 2 that are over 700RWH.P. I think SAL made around 980RWH.P and well over 1000FT/LBS of TQ the last time on the dyno.
