RE: Reliable HP
But chances are I won't be going crazy on this truck like I did my diesel. Like I said, I drove one of those 350hp hemis and it was fine... and I'm going to assume you can get that out of a 5.9 without going crazy on it.
I'm going to try REAL hard to leave it at that.

RE: Reliable HP
you can try getting a 2000 or 2001 diesel maybe?? that would bring your payment down a good bit.. this 2000 diesel came into my work today.. pushing 1400 ft/lb of torque.. with the nitrous over 2000
ran high 11's that really made me wish i waited a little longer to just go all out and get a diesel

RE: Reliable HP
So why would it be so hard to make 350hp with a 5.9??? If the 5.7l hemi can make 350 (at the flywheel) and has slightly less displacement...
I've spent a lot of time around small blocks in the dirt racing scene and I know 400-500hp in a small block isn't THAT tough. I would assume some head porting, cams, and some electronics/injector changes would do the trick... do they have stroker kits and pistons available for bore-jobs?
Can a guy use the same parts listed for the old school 360 mopars for these motors?
Or am I totally misquided?

If you changed the heads (including a 3 angle valve job), new polished valves, springs, roller rockers (1.7 preferably), it would help hit 350 HP, but while your there might as well change the intake, and the injectors (from 24 pounds to 25-6).... Yeah thats all
