Does anyone know what the top end of one of those HEMI trucks are? There is no doubt that the SS wil smoke them from a stoplight due to the AWD setup AND a much more powerful engine. There is no bottom end torque until about 3000 rpm. By then, the SS is long gone. I understand that a computer modification in 2004 is addressing the big lag. Has anyone seen the "HEMI EXPRESS" in California, and the "THUNDER ROAD package in all the other states? Just a package with floorboards, fiberglass tonneau cover, 20 inch wheels and lower body kit, but nothing done to the engine. Looks good, but that's about it. I have never heard the cutoff speed for the hemi truck. Just curious. I also heard that they do not respond too well to common hop up speed parts due to the computer compensating for them. I have heard that some speed parts actually make them go slower..especially the exhaust system. They SOUND wicked, but actually go slower due to lack of back pressure the aftermarket mufflers allow. Someone made a post about a smart alecked kid with a white hemi ram with loud pipes. Chances are if he modded the exhaust he was slower than a stone. Serves him right. That would be pretty sad to have something that could not be modifed without a LOT of cash. Just my $.02 GSEREP1
