did it happen around the time you put on yourrims? i noticed a significant power loss when i put on my 24s, which is what i expected beause of al the additional weight. you should also consider getting some new gears like a 4:56 setup. i put it on mine and it runs like hell now. its also recommended you do that when you go to a tire size changeespecially if you had the 17's on there b4

RE: Loss of Power...
Hemi's have platinum plugs. They are supposed to be changed every 100,000 miles, not 30,000 miles. Larger rims would definitely cause you to feel a power loss. You could also have a few other things going on. For instance, I'd assume you know to check the air filter, and fuel filter. A faulty EGR system can also cause significant power loss. Are you still getting the same fuel economy as you used to? A faulty ERG should send the engine light on. just my $.02

My 04 hemi manual says to change the plugs at 30,000 miles as well....
