What are some easy inexpensive (less then $500) ways to gain HP, besides chips and air filters? Thanks for any help.

 

What engine? really you've gotta reprogram your ECU with every little thing you do to take full advantage of them.

Got a 360 I'd say cam or higher ratio rockers, high flow cats maybe, headers, non-restrictive exhaust, but you'll only get partway into that list with $500, and that's the list of inexpensive things.

 

Sorry, I have the 2003 5.7.

 

hemis dont respond as well as the 4.7 to the inexpensive mod(air filter, exhaust) already tuned pretty well, gonna have to spend money if you want gains.

 

i would still put some work into it...a little HP is better than stock, right?

 

not sure, alot of the Hemi guys complain about low end power loss with exhaust and intake, not all just some. so thats up to you, id def. get exhaust just for the sound[sm=badbadbad.gif]

 

I'm pretty sure most of the people who lose low-end are putting dual 3" on or otherwise screwing up the sizing on the pipes. The manufacturers are in the middle of a bit of a horsepower war, so they're actually putting money into exhaust research it seems, instead of just tossing on something that'll work. In the past it was small pipes for torque, but these newer engines need to rev to make power so the exhaust tuning is more crucial.

 

Thanks for the replies.

 

nitrous kit.......you can get them cheap and theres your extra 150hp in just a few hours

 

Apparently Comp Cams just came out with some cams for the Hemi - check it out.
