Well bofer i'm not sure what to tell you... I posted this in the '04 forum but it died quickly:
Now, the quad-cab HEMI is supposed to pull 0-60 in 8 flat and the ¼ in 16.2 @ 86mph. We didn't run to 60 or the quarter.. just like 0-50 at most. and a roll to 50. Now folks with the x-cal2 and a screw are laying rubber with ease they state, while I can mearly chirp the tires with my mods. I think an x-cal and Troyer tune are in my near future.
The only way to know for sure is just get it and find a HEMI of your own. Some folks have lost others (like me) have won for whatever reason. Racing light-to-light isn't an exact science. Or legal (that's my PSA for the day).
Many runs were made, these are the best of each series... I don't think the muffer alone has this big of an impact... it was also about 15 degrees cooler. I also made a few runs (pre-magna) in outragous 90+ degree heat and turned in 10 second 0-60 times and 17+ second ¼ times.
I'll make some more runs this weekend after the AF1 goes in.
Pre Magnaflow (1714 Max Perf, K&N Drop-in):
¼ - 16.68 @ 80.48
0-60 - 8.75
Post Magnaflow (1714 Max Perf, K&N Drop-in):
¼ - 16.30 @ 83.88
0-60 - 8.42
Bone Stock 4x4 Screw (as reported by C&D):
¼ - 17 @ 82
0-60 - 9.3

Are you sure that wasn't 276?
I'm not a Dodge fan; but, I give them props for stepping up their game. Ford is developing a bigger engine (6.0) for Ford trucks as a result. I thank them.

Well that sucks. If Dodge ever lightens up the Ram, they'll have a very attractive performance package.
