i love the hemi! however i see them more as race motors. in my opinion, the magnum 360 is the best truck motor. it is super reliable and has a hell of a lot of torque. not to mention it is easy to work on and doesn't have all the fly by wire and complicated systems.
very, very true. and you can probably make a 360 just as fast with some good work. and there's no replacement for displacement :P
ive heard that the 360's are very under tuned from the manufacturer and do not run at full potential. What do i need to unleash my hidden power?
Superchips works well and you can usually pick up a used one for around $200-250. Just make sure it is unlocked. THe air intakes help, modified throttle bodies (Fastman or you can even use a Dremel tool and port and polish your own), and a good tune-up are just a few places to start. What I like about these engines is it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to modify them.

I was looking for a Cold Air Intake for a friend of mine's Furd F-150 (2006). The cheapest I could find for his was around $300.00 and from what I read, the Furd's engines do not like the "home-made" cold air intakes (it may throw a code). But, on our Dodges we can put a $25.00 14" round air cleaner and have the same performance as an expensive CAI. All the expense the TB modification I did was the cost of the Dremel bits. The programmer cost around $200-250, but according to Superchips you gain close to 50 horsepower (at least thats what they claim!), not a bad return for the money. This is why I said you can modify these engines to get the extra power that these engines are capable of without spending a lot of money. NOw if you get into cams and etc that may be a different story.
