You know with all that work you are planning with your 4.7 why dont you just save the money and trade in your truck for a HEMI instead? What your describing is about as much as what it would cost to upgrade to the hemi. and your cheap price there isnt that cheap Your lookin at atleast 3-4 grand there. And then after all that work all you have to do to the hemi is add a chip, CAI, and exhaust and it'll do laps around you and mont void any of your warranties.......... Just a thought.......

I thought the same thing. Why pollish a turd. You can always strip the HEMI badges off and tell every one it just a 4.7 if thats what your after. Even beter then you can do all those mods your talking about and start looking for Mustangs and such.

appreciate your thought into the matter, but tweaking and modifying is what I love to do. I'm single, don't have any kids, and it's a hobby I enjoy. I bought it because it didn't have a Hemi, and had lots of potential. Once I finish tweaking it, and paying it off in 3 more years. I'll be investing in a charger and going from there. That one I will get a hemi 5.7 or 6.1 I can decide later, guess it'll depend which one has the most after market parts for it. :-)

Only way you'd be able to beat a Hemi, is to do some serious modification to your engine. Adding Cold air intake, change out exhaust to headers, and straight duels, no cat back system. Replace your 3.92's gear with the 4.56's. Install some performance cams, get a performance flash installed in the computer. Get rid of the belt driven fan, replace with an electric fan. That's on the cheap, those are ALL modifications I am currently persuing. Saving up for headers, after that will be the cams. After that, the superchips flash paq. Then I will say after all that, that I will have a chance to take a hemi. Until then, I don't have a chance. There's just too many pony's under his hood for you to contend with, without you adding some of your own. But I wish ya luck.

I guess I can understand that. I like tweaking and modifying my trucks too. I wanted to start with close to the top though instead of the bottom, I do believe it was under a 2grand difference between going from the 4.7 to the HEMI or at least thats the "deal" the sales man gave me at the time.
