just wait they are coming out with a version that shuts down 4 of the
cylenders when the power is not needed, to save fuel, also I hear rumours of
a 6.1L version coming out.

the boards say their isn't much room for improvement on the hemi, using
intakes etc...

the major exhaust boys are all working on headers, and exhaust upgrades,
dynomax, flowmaster, borla, and gibson.

also kennybell is/has a supercharger for the hemi, but it has ran into a
major snag!

Punch, wants that hemi : )
