Here is a link to the thread I was thinking of before:

This thread is more about the '03 but the reasons the Hammer gave for the '05:

ther than that, mechanically, physically, electronically and visually, they are the same engine with all the same parts
and SCT doesn't do trans tuning at all, is that right?

I'll probably be going with an SCT, and I won't need trans tuning because it will be a stage 3 sharadon by then. I will be using an 05 4.7 PCM to run the hemi, which has been done before, hemifever tuned it. So basically, I can take a hemi from 03-05 and be fine?

Another question, can an 06+ hemi be MDS-deleted?

Correct on the SCT and 06+ MDS can be disabled.

Let me know if you found an 05, and where you found it...thinking about swapping out my 4.7L if relatively cheap enough
