It's time to take down Dodge!
I am sick and tired of all my friends with Ram's beating me off the line during a race! Most of my friends trucks are stock hemi's which have well over 300 hp. I have a stock 5.4L engine, 04 sCab 4x2, what should I invest in to gain horsepower and to finally beat these Hemi's!

Save your money and give up and be happy, a stock 5.4 3V is made for peek Torque at a lower Rpm than the Hemi, the 5.4 3v was not made to rev at the higher RPMs were The Hemi has to be to to get the power.
I had the 5.43V in a 04 F-150, now I have the 5.7 in a 2500 Ram. Invest in a 410 rear diff if you want to compete, The week link with Ford is the Auto Trans, the 5.4 put's out respectable H/P and Torque but has to haul the extra in the 04+ F-150 Bottom line is the F-150 wasent built to win drag races, But as a general all purpose truck that dose every thing well. |
Trade back to an 03 Lightning or HD :thumbsup:
You can leave the Hemi's and play with the SRT-10 if you do ;) |
Custom tuning is what you need to dust the hemi, call TP :thumbsup:
|
E-fans by flex a lite, custom tune, and AF1. That should put you in good standings.

One word...........SUPERCHARGER
|
Hum...a whole new engine from Ford will do the trick, The hemi Puts outs close to the H/P in the V/10 Triton, not as much torque.
Get a 6.1 hemi if you want to beat the 5.7 I have put Manaflow muflers and dual ex and a CAI intake on my truck, H/P gains were minamal, but the sound is awsome and the hemi revs quicker, due to the low geraing in the six sp, I'm not going to win drag races. |
HI!... HEMI's "THE OTHER WHITE MEAT".............No problems here smokin them.
|
Supercharger! :rocker:
Or if the budget isn't there, a Edge Evolution programer! |
Have a race that you and your friends are towing something. That low-end torque will smoke them off the line if you are both pulling something.

Sounds like what you really need is a bottle of Enzyte. :lol:
|
three botles of Enzyte...
