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 : )
I just replied about the cylinder deactivation before I read your post,
Punch, Sorry about that I guess that's what I get for not reading all of
the posts first. Still a cool feature, though.
