Default Is there a chance in hell

is it possible to make the v6 almost as fast as a stock hemi. Derrick your truck is clean, just curious what does it run on the quarter mile and on the dyno.

Yes, it's possible. It's just how much do you want to spend?





There's a Dakota that had a V6 running a 11 or 12s 1/4.

You could do some gears with a powertraxx or similar, but that would be about a grand right there. I doubt it'd be enough to equalize a Hemi.

You'd be spending at least $10-12k on a V6 to match a hemi.

Honestly, you'd be lucky if those combined knocked off .5-1.0 off the time.

yea your v6 has to work harder to get the weight moving while the hemi has more power so it moves the weight easier. so it would take alot of mods and money to match the hemi
