Default Hp a stock ram has?

Hey, Ive tried to find a post about this but no luck. How much hp does a stock 07 dodge ram hemi have. Im just wondering . Oh and does anyone have the problem on the stock tires always spinning when you take off. I mean even when its not wet outside and a just press the gas alittle, my tires spin like hell. I got pulled over yesturday cause it was damp outside and i was on a hill and spin twice not meaning to and got a ticket lol. I know I have alot of hp but next time i need tires not going with the factory. Thanks.

Stock (03-08) hemi puts out 345 at the crank, then its about a 30% loss to the wheels. So at the wheels you're around 240hp give or take. Sucks huh...

Stock tires are garbage, they were the first thing I replaced when I bought my truck back in 05'.

Stock tires are garbage. That is probably the main reason you are spinning them all over the place.

I think the 5.9 only has about 235 at the crank, so about 165 at the wheels.

4.7 has in the neighborhood of 460-480 from factory, to the wheels. If its painted white, its an extra 50hp.

Contrary to popular belief NOS stickers, and or gaudy chrome accessories offer no change.

You got a ticket for your tires spinning on a damp road? wow. lovely law enforcement you seem to have. My ****ty tires spin on flat roads all the time if its somewhat wet at all.
