Also to really throw a wrench into your gears of which is better Hemi or V6. The Alfa 164 is a V6 front engine car that uses a Hemispherical head, thus a true V6 Hemi motor.
No it's not. No matter what you say, it's not a true Hemi motor. Unless Chrysler makes it, it won't be. Hemi is a trademark of Chrysler, so no one else can say that they have a Hemi. All Hemi is is a word. And yea, other companies use a hemispherical head, and have for a long time.

itd be nice if it did...but it's closer to 270-280...sorry to disappoint lol

haha you didnt disappoint me at all i have the 4.7l so 200 hp doesnt even come stock on mine either. i know these rams loose alot of hp/tq in the driveline. just sucks they couldnt get the power to the wheels more efficiently. why advertise crank hp anywyas doesnt really make sense.

you do have the 345 but thats to the crank. we are talking rear wheel horsepower (rwhp). the rams lose alot of power in the drivetrain. you want to get to 345 rear wheel. just start with the normal bolt ons.
