to get to the high / mid 15s

hello everyone .... im new to the ford pickup scene ...... and would like to know if it would take the same mods as my brothers 5.7 hemi , to get me into the 15s

his hemi is a 2004 5.7 Qc 4x4 with

pacesetter long tube headers ,

a cherrybomb extreme custom dual rear exit exhaust ....

Superchip set on the performance tune and a 6.1 cam


after some searching on the forums i now find myself looking into edge evolution programers

for exhaust i like the loud raunchy sound of the cherrybomb so ill go for that

but im still looking into headers, CAI , and wondering if theres a cam upgrade for a 2004 4door FX4 and also what would be a good gear ratio

sorry if there newbee questions but any help would do

Dynatech Long Tubes

XCal3 with custom tuning from Mike Troyer

Gear ratio depends on what size tire your running...I'm running 4.10's with a 28' tall tire, Hemis are stock with 3.90s

Any straight through exhaust: Magnaflow, Borla-Roush, etc...

Air Force 1 3.5 intake

what year is your truck? '04+ have the 3V's 5.4, earlier have 2Vs

4x4? I'd suggest at least 4.10s

I'm assuming you have the 5.4?

I have the 4.6 and it'll take some head work and cams + bolt ons to take a Hemi

Although with 18's I'm positive I would have hit 15's.

I'd add 24# injectors, new cams, underdrive pulleys, a shift kit and a good dyno tune

Not always, if its a four door it will have 3.90s for sure

Some of the lower model regular cabs have 3.55 opens

Under the right conditions QC 4x4 HEMI's can run low 15's stock. My 00 SC 4x4 5.4 with intake, exhaust, efans, and 91 tune can't take my buddies 03 hemi with intake exhaust and 91 tune on 10 ply 35" BFG A/T's. I have beaten a few low 15 second cars as of late as well including a newer celica gts and new v6 mustang.

I know the Superchips on 91 gives 30+ to the rear wheels. The 6.1 cam also gives 35+ to the rear wheels as well. They sit right around the 270 rwhp stock.

At the absolute very least you are going to need to be full bolt on to compete with him. Intake, headers, exhaust, underdrive pulleys, e fans, and a dyno tune. You will probably need the cams as well.

Car & Driver April 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 QC 4x4 Hemi

with 3.90 gears ran a 16.20 at 86 mph thats a long way from low 15's in my opinion.The Titan ran a 15.60 at 89 mph,Chevy ran a 15.80 at 89 mph,Toyota ran a 14.90 at 94 mph and the F-150 ran a 16.70 at 83 mph.

Later Mark.

my buddy raced a Titan with exhaust in his Hemi, the titan got a HUGE jump to atleast 2 truck lengths and the Hemi reeled him in by 100 and the hemi only had exhaust and K&N both on 33"s

Well ive looked into cams before for my truck and it was going to run me about $2400 with install . Sadly we are pretty limited on our trucks n/a so for the money it takes just get a s/c.
