Had I known that the Hemi got about the same mpg as the 4.7L, I would have bought a Ram with a Hemi. But I didn't.

Having said that, I'm still pretty happy with my 4.7L. With a CAI and a decent exhaust system, it still moves out and sounds great.

Just clicked on your pic. What did you get for $100.00 from Airaid? A replacement filter for your airbox and a new intake duct?

When I bought my 2008, I had the opportunity to get a Hemi instead of my 4.7L... After some thought, it didn't seem too smart to pay an extra $6000 for another 35HP and an MDS system I didn't want to go near with a ten foot pole.

I'm more than happy with how quick my 4.7L is, and being able to get 20mpg highway (as long as I keep my foot out of it ) isn't too shabby, either.
