HEMI Ram, what a JOKE

Actually, a colder flame reduces NOx emissions
and a warmer flame increases NOx emissions.
Thermal-NOx, originated by molecular nitrogen in the combustion air, is significantly reduced by lowering flame temperature, while fuel-NOx, originated by fuel-bound nitrogen, is insensitive to flame temperature.
This is why the very fuel efficient vehicles, like Toyota Prius, have relatively high NOx emissions. Their *** readings are miniscule, because they run lean, with a high compressions ratio. This makes for a very efficient, hot chamber.
So, the HEMI probably has an easy time on passing NOx standards, but a tougher time on CO or CO2.

i guess we wouldn't have this problem if the HEMI truck didn't advertise to be a race truck all the ones i seen are the HEMI's racing and if they would stop trying to race us L brothers we wouldn't be talking about them know would we if the HEMI would leave us alone we wouldn't have to send them back to there mommys saying " mommy my P**** hurts" well thats just what i think i could be wrong sorry doug if i said somthing bad

Are you Lightning owners THAT bored? I can take a stock Taurus, should I start a thread on it?

Marty, slow down. The Dodge is a "hemi" engine. To say it's nothing like the original is showing some ignorance.

"Hemi" isn't a name it's the design of the heads.The term HEMI references the hhe design of the heads.The term HEMI references the hemispherical combustion chambers in the engine's heads. The chamber design puts the intake/exhaust valves in-line, rather than side-by-side. This
allows for better flow of air through the head. The spark plug in the center of the chamber creates a better ignition of the fuel/air. Both of these major aspects help make hemi-type engines produce more efficiency and power.
Trust me, the new "hemi" with a supercharger has easily produced upper 400 hp numbers. With some mild modifications it will easily produce over 500 hp. It's actually can be considered a better designed engine for power than the 5.4 modular motor. Don't take a supercharged hemi truck lightly. It will give you all you want and maybe even more.
Don't get caught up in the commercials, as all the top 3 (Ford, Chevy and Dodge) have produced some pretty lame ones with exagerated claims. The Ram Hemi can be a very competitive foe if equiped properly. The stock hemi compared to a stock 5.4 will usually win and has moprepotentially to increase performance. I wouldn't be surprised to see a supercharged Hemi in a year or two in the SRT Ram. It would be great to see more supercharged Hemi Ram trucks around at the tracks as it would make for a very competitive class.

Uh Pat? It 's not propaganda. It's called a discussion. That's what forums are used for. Not to tell your life story and make up any sort of bs you can think of.

Why are
And why are
It's because of one thing--- we know they can't beat us, but they're so caught up in the advertising dream that they think they can.
So they try.
And we post a kill story.
Now they've got a big brother. Maybe that will be more of a fair fight.
some members in here are really hung up on this hemi thing.
Sport truck guys ripping on regular truck guys

Hemispherical heads
I thought the joke was that many modern head designs have a hemispherical chamber, but Dodge has "Hemi" trademarked so other manufacturers can't advertise their head designs as a "hemi" even though they have a hemispherical chamber.
I had a 70' Dodge 440 R/T (wedge chamber heads) and it, on paper at least, made more HP (390) than the same car with the 426 hemi. The hemi was faster though ;-)

'01's wife here.
Those in the "HEMI" know, consider the new "hemi" to be a "semi-hemi." It is not a true hemi by any means.
I can understand the Dodge guys getting carried away. They were stuck with an underpowered slug for so long that the "hemi" has to seem like the second coming of Christ. Also, understand that the majority of the "my hemi is the second coming of Christ" guys are very young............ and Mommy and Daddy bought the truck for them.
Case in point.......... I had a kid in a new black hemi here in town rev me in my Tribute. Now, what the hell is that about??? Is his manhood so small that he would take a victory against a V6 4x4 Mazda Tribute ES (loaded with everything......... including the baby seat and baby) as proof that his truck is all that???
Finally, for the "slap a supercharger on the hemi" crowd. There is no supercharger currently available for the hemi. As a matter of fact, there is not so much as a computer chip or tuner available. DCX is doing everything in their power to not let the proprietary information out on their computers. Now, consider that the "hemi" has been out for well over a year........... and there is nothing for it. This is pretty sad. As for Kenne Bell........... they are quoting the supercharged hemi as making 517hp. It is a contrived number. Take 345 X 150%.............. There is no actual running Kenne Bell supercharged hemi.......... so there are no real numbers.
As a comparison, the new '04 F150 3-valve 5.4 already has a tuner out by Superchips. It was available 2 months after the release of the truck.
Anyway, I have nothing against the trucks............ just some of their owners. I have come to the conclusion that the radical Dodge boys are actually worse than the radical GM guys.
As for me........... I like anything performance that is done well, be it stock or built. BTW, yes I do peruse all of the Dodge forums as well.
Chances are I will never see Hemi Boy here when I am in the Lightning. One can always dream, however..............
