Maybe an SCT tuner would help. Of course not if he has one too. LOL

Not surprising at all. The HEMIs 390HP and 407 lb-ft compared to your 245HP and 335 lb-ft at best. It's a hands down race.

Or you could just swap in a hemi. Should be a weekend ordeal! Just talk to DDRI he will tell you how simple it is!
