375-450HP Streetable Advice
#21
I personally dislike Hemi's, as good as they are :\ Theyre on the newer side of things, and the old magnums have that muscle car charm to them that the Hemi's don't for me. Though Id love to see me some loud hellcat hemi in a nice ram rebel
I think when the time comes, I'll find a good reputation shop and get it stroked to 408 and built properly to have high HP without having a crappy torque curve, love the way they sound to say the least. And obviously a good transmission would be in order as well :P Just dreaming of the day this is a reality, unless something happens to get made that tickles my fancy better, but seems unlikely that will happen, at least south of $50K haha

Boost is the easiest and can be done on a stock bottom end.
$1200 for EQs with better springs
$600 for airgap
$400 for cam (all said and done)
$250 53mm tb
$300 minimum for full 3" exhaust and headers
$3500 for tuner kit through ATI Procharger
varied cost for sct tuning.
I'd like to point out FRP tuned a truck last summer that made 525hp and 640 lb/tq AT THE TIRES on a factory bottom end. That was Eddie heads, 58mm tb, airgap, big cam, longtubes and true duals, 10psi from blower
you can make 450 crank hp pretty easily on factory cam with boost and not have to tear into engine hardly at all
