Roughly 345 at the engine, of which only about 240 or so makes it to the rear wheels. For all the mods I've done so far: exhaust, CAI, tuner, LT headers, wires, e-fan, etc, etc. I'm barely over 300 RWHP and even after the cam & custom tune, which are the last of my planned mods, I might just be at the 345 RWHP mark that the truck has at the flywheel, stock...

Im sure you have adressed this before, but i couldnt find it exactly. I remember you and others saying the tourque converter on the ram's suck, and that is why the great loss from the flywheel to the RW, So is it possible to change the Tourque converter?

240 at the wheel? almost 100 hp loss. Do your hemis have that torque management like the chevys? I know its like night and day once its taken off. Kinda makes you wonder if Nissan is underrated. They make 315 at the crank and 290 to the wheel. What gears does dodge offer?

Sure, and I understand TCI makes a good one for under $400, but the labor is gonna be a killer...
