I may or may not do this but what type of Turbo/Supercharger would a late model 05' Ram 1500 Reg Cab whith the 5.7 HEMI need? What would the gains be? And what do they cost now days? Any help on this would be appreciated thanks.

 

GSM makes a supercharger for the Hemi and it runs about 5K for the base(6psi) kit which makes about 380rwhp. STS offers a turbo for the Hemi and it runs 4K for the base(5psi) kit plus 1K for the fuel kit and it makes abot 415rwhp at 7psi. To get 7psi you have to chabge the waste gate spring or buy the 2 stage boost controller.

I have the STS turbo and love it!

 

so which would you prefer the turbo or the supercharger? I honestly dont know which one would be best and easiest to maintain if any. Also what would this do to your warranties if anything?

 

Also with all that extra horse power and torque would I have to replace my stock 5 speed automatic Transmission?

 

As of now, you have 2 choices.

GSM SC, makes around 7lbs of boost.

STS Turbo, can make whatever boost you want up to blowing the motor. Most don't push it over 10lbs.

The STS make a lot more power and is cheaper.

 

I would get the sts turbo setup. The GSM supercharger you only see boost at like 5k RPM while you see boost from the turbo 3k RPM. So with the supercharger you would barly hear that lovely whine but with the turbo's you'll be making plenty of noise. And you could make around 375HP before you add either with just bolt-on's.

 

STS Turo HQ is about 45 minutes from my house. Seen plenty of there stuff running around here and I have been impressed. It'll probably make its way onto my truck eventually.

 

All the turbo folk I know are running the stock trans.
