If that really is true then the regular cab would run somewhere around mid to high 13's. That would mean dodge created 2 of the 3 fastest pickup trucks ever made. The SRT-10 Ram F-150 Lightning and the 09 Ram's. That means for me I'm getting an 09 Ram most likely a QC though which with 375HP would run mid 14's out the box.

 

Hemiyellow is a VIP on this forum. All hail the Mopar Guru-ness. We're not worthy!!! We're not Worthy!!!!!!!!! LOL

 

lmao...i dunno about that lol...i'm just lucky that i work where i do lol

 

The toyota tundra is rated at 381hp but thats at the crank right? If so, it should have about 300hp at the wheels with the 22% transmission and driveshaft loss?

 

yep, that BHP (brake horsepower) or at the crank if you think like a normal person lol

 

ive did alot of work to my o6 hemi but i just might have to trade it in to get an 09 hemi the way it sounds with vvt

I assume the freshened-up 5.7 Hemi engine will get a system similar to the V10
but will it be optimized for power or economy?

Several months ago Tom LaSorda said that he had ordered Chrysler engineers to look for 'free fuel economy improvements' by altering camshaft settings.

It is also time for the 5.7 to get the sodium filled exhaust valve that the 6.1V8 has had for a couple years, along with a raise in the compression ratio.
