Does that mean that an '08 4.7 w/manual trans is putting about as must power to the ground, if not more, than a Hemi? I wouldn't imagine there would be any more than a 20% loss w/o a torque converter.

RE: Hemis only putting 250ish to the wheels?
Hey Everybody, first post. I just traded in my 06 Charger R/T for my new 08 Ram 1500 QC. Yeah, stock Charger got 288/321 at the wheels. But also, I think the ram has what, a 70mm throttle body ? Correct me if I'm wrong, the Charger's come with 80mm, that would account for some decent hp drops i would think. I traded my car in on a whim and tried to take as much crap out of it as i could, got the nitrous bottle and tuner out of it.
Does anybody know if Diablo makes the Predator for the 08 Hemi ? Too bad the one from my charger wont freakin work on it.
Anyways, peace out guys.

The weight of the vehicle has nothing to do with power to the wheels.
More weight only slows it down because its harder to get moving fast.
My 04 4X4 QC with only CAI, catback exhaust and 4.56 gears made 267.5 at the rear wheels.
Truck had around 5000 miles on it.
Its the automatic that steals all that power.

i always hear about these super fast disels, and see em on youtube, but never seen one in person, or at the track. As far as the frame goes, its alright, a little shakey on bumpy roads, but no regrets. I think stock 5.7L tundras are putting down 330 hp to the wheel stock, so im hoping with my mods im at least putting down 340-345hp. Tuners are just becoming availble. We dont have half the after market you guys have though.
I got my rcsb 5.7 SR5 for 25k, what do rumble bees go for?
