I have an 2009 trx4 w/ 5.7 hemi and was wondering if i was the only one trying to squeeze a few more ponies out of it. I have thought about putting the intake plenum, throttle body, headers from a totaled out challenger wondering if any one has already tried this?

Note: i have not picked up car yet so I have not got to study it yet and don't really want to swap out complete engines but i might just do that.

thanks for any help,comments,questions you may have

 

Careful the Challenger electrical depending on what yeat is a slow speed buss, all the 09 and up RAM 1500's are high speed buss. that might be something that causes you anguish???

 

Not sure how the intake and TB would give you anything, considering the Hemi in the Chally is rated lower than the Hemi in the Ram. Sure, it looks cooler, but is it better??

 

sorry i forgot to mention it has the 6.1L hemi.
with the higher plenum and larger throttle body with a
ram air style flow to it. if it will fit i know there is potental for
HP increase. I already have magnaflow exaust on it to pass
the extra air that in theary it would intake.

 

It would fit on a 1st Gen 5.7 Hemi, not sure about our 2nd Gen 5.7.

 

i may be going down state this weekend to pick up the donor challenger and will keep everyone posted on my plans to swap a multitude of parts from the car to the truck.
i will try to document the process as best i can for others to use if they want.

 

thanks. im interested in seeing what you find

 

the 6.1 doesnt have the variable intake. so with the connectorsfor that unplugged in your truck, youll have a constant MIL on.

 

thanks for the heads up savage, i am now working on a solution to that problem.
also thanks for everyone elses input as well

 

no problem. try getting the injectors too. im really curious if they fit our 5.7's. if so, ill pick up a set someday.
