    180 degree thermostat

    That's marginally better than stock. I don't recall my HEMI running much warmer; you sure there's not something else going on? This is after driving 65 miles

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I've got 10K miles on my truck I wanted to get the tires rotated today. Call discount tire and they said an hour and a half wait and 45 minutes to do it. I ain't got nothing to do today but not spending two and a half hours at discount tire. Finished 45 minutes later with 15 to 20...

    Ram 1500 DC 650. Can hemi 5.7l handle power reliably?

    A hellephant street TRX though? Nah, not believing that

    Ram 1500 DC 650. Can hemi 5.7l handle power reliably?

    Thats some FB (likely BS) stuff that you can't trust. Guy claims it has a 426 hellaphant in it, like that would ever make production or even come close to passing epa/cafe.

    Ram 1500 DC 650. Can hemi 5.7l handle power reliably?

    As have I. My point is that the 5.7 with a Whipple is maxed out with no margin due to the cast internals. As long as you don't want more you're probably fine, that's not enough margin for me.

    Ram 1500 DC 650. Can hemi 5.7l handle power reliably?

    An increase in truck sales doesn't equate to something like the DC650 or a street trx being a big seller. I'm not surprised that Ram saw an increase over GM but I thought I read somewhere that Ford truck sales were still high. I don't know that I'd buy something like the DC 650, I don't like...

    Ram 1500 DC 650. Can hemi 5.7l handle power reliably?

    IDK. Im wondering if Ram is watching this trucks reception and sales and deciding on if they will offer something like this, a street TRX. I don't really see it though

    K&N Gen III vs. S&B CAI Systems

    I completely agree which is why I haven't bought a K&N. The S&B and the AFE both look like a higher quality part; I've seen some performance results for the AFE but not as many as I've seen for the K&N and I've seen none for the S&B. I'll wait until draggy pro's go on sale again then I'll buy...

    Ram 1500 DC 650. Can hemi 5.7l handle power reliably?

    Without doubt, I wouldn't give an S if it broke as long as it was under warranty but there's some that fail to apply that same logic for the hurricane. I like the premise of the truck, just not $90K for a SC'd bighorn. Would be nice to see this available in higher trims at a more reasonable...

    Ram 1500 DC 650. Can hemi 5.7l handle power reliably?

    Nothing really special about that, likely one range colder spark plugs and hellcat injectors. All modern PD blowers use a cooling brick inside the supercharger and whipple been having an issue with their intercooler bricks rupturing and leaking. I'd be looking into some reinforced bricks it I...

    K&N Gen III vs. S&B CAI Systems

    Dynos are tools and can be manipulated by the operator to show improvement whereas a draggy or drag strip times are more reliable indicator of improving performance. The tests I've seen are back to back runs with a stock intake then the K&N installed and a 2 tenths improvement was verified by...
