My brother has a 04 Hemi with a K&N intake on it, and I know for a fact that I cant beat him. I have an 02 SLT plus with new wires, plugs, cap, rotor, K&N filter, Superchips (performance tune), and exhaust. This truck just doesnt seem fast to me at all... But then again I did go from a 450hp GTO to this truck...

The 5.9 is not making 250 horses stock, again, you are pulling numbers out of your a$$, this is whats irritating me, its like you go look at a number and add a couple more to it to try and make it look better. And dont forget your loss in tire size over the stock hemi that still has more horsepower, The only number you were accurate on was the torque. If you can prove it, then prove it, Im just saying, the numbers are not proving your point in any way. And the fact that you keep changing the numbers and giving ballparks on the 5.9 and rounding it up as much as you can is killing your point also.

Bored out without any other kinds of modifications? And generally its stroking a motor on something like that. He would be running a 408 stroker kit, and he would know it if he was, that thing would be gnarly as hell and he wouldnt be talking about keeping up with a hemi, he would be beating them, a stroker kit on the 360 if I recall adds somewhere in the realm of 100-150 horsepower (these are ballpark numbers that could be way off) I dont make claim to know since I cant remember, I just remember hearing that they did crazy things for the 5.9
He doesnt even know much of what hes talking about, he suggested putting 1.7 roller rockers in and a cam? They cant clear 1.7's and a cam, you either have to get 1.6s and a cam or 1.7's without the cam unless you modify other parts.

I would love to see it, I have always been a fan of my magnum engines and that would just make me happy as can be, Im just also realistic and even though I would rather have my magnum than a hemi, I dont think I could easily beat one with minor modifications. If he does, then I would love to know what makes his truck so much different than mine. I have a superchips on the way here pretty quick, I remember it making a huge difference on my old red truck, but not that huge of a difference.

LOL. Ok, first of all, you don't know anything obviously. 1.6 comes in the magnum STOCK. 1.7 is offered straight from MOPAR if you'd like to upgrade. Also, harland sharp, makes a great 1.7 RR :X
Secondly, your stock numbers are WRONG. Get your information from a DYNO, or the DODGE website, or magnum history pages. Not out your ***, friend.
Thirdly, guess what- hemi's have transmissions too. Epic fail.
Fourthly, magnum 5.9's can't fit a cam? Hmm.. I wonder how mine runs then.. Epic fail.
Fifth, if you research your numbers a bit better, you will learn I was being conservative in my gains. But obviously, what do I know.
Also, coming from a 600HP LS7 showcar camaro ss as my summer vehicle, my ram also feels slow.
Aside from the flaming: I will datalog in about 20 min now with the Superchips data logger.
