Ya gotta be kidding...

Dwight, that is what the aforementioned 6.1 and about 90 days ago the 5.7 are about. Showroom stock, with dead stock specs, much different than the Drag Pak motors. Stock bodies and stock specs. I have one of each of the three motors 5.7, 6.1, and 6.4 and the progression on each with respect to performance is very noticable. I also have all the engineers final drawings for the foundry, and the items that change, and as I was told, to pass emissions and make hp is so obvious. You can see where the street versions are going. You can trace much of the things in these new Gen III Hemi motors directly to racing. What they have done is gotten 'casting horsepower' for no charge. They have to be casted and machined anyway, and it don't cost a dime more to make these upgrades. We are getting a dead stock 6.1 ready for the dyno just to see what it will do. Factory ratings are done with a complete muffler system, water pump running, and alternator working on pump gas. We will change to race fuel, headers, an engine management system, and any other stuff pertaining to our dyno. We ran a hone thru it just to clean it up. It is an assembly line motor. Should be interesting. I would like to build a dead stock one, but I prefer a water car or theft recovery as opposed to a wreck, so I'm sure somewhere down here, there will be a flood.
