I love the 5.7 hemi, but a 5.4 super charged engine is just a hell of lot more power in a lighter package, hemis in the Ram are not high Rpm engines that can withstand 4500 to 5000 Rpms.

Any thing with a super charger is going to make more go..

Yea the SRT set the record for top speed, but in a 1/4 mile race (where it matters) the lightning will spank the stock V10 all day. That Ram did pretty good against it. Just for the record, a procharged hemi will beat an srt10

yea that's not really getting worked over at all. lightning is a totally redone 5.4 with a nasty supercharger on top. the hemi had a cam.... o yea and the basics exhaust and CAI and the ford only walked it by a length.

TBH i'd rock a lightning if they came with a stick shift

"uh, I think I just blew my motor..." HAHA! If I had a nickel everytime I heard a ford guy say that...Well, I wouldn't have much cause I don't hang out with ford guys, but you get my point.

No it's not...lightning has a blown triton 5.4 which is only 2 valves. Something more comparable to the GT's would be the engine in the blown cobras.

Ford GT (second favorite car and will buy one someday) has fords 5.4L modular V8 (Triton) with a Lysholm twin screw supercharger.

Tritons come in 2,3, and 4 valves

Yes...and the GT is a 4 valver and the lighting isn't which is the point. Huge difference in power and potential between the two.
