    Uh Ok, Dark, Man you're too easy. Do us a favor, don't ever square off or line up with a H.O. M-kay? :LOL:

    What would you prefer?

    Thanks for that insight. Again, I am only speculating because I enjoy your intellect but which would you fear detonation in more? A 70 HP / Liter engine. or A 180 HP / Liter engine? Hopefully with knock sensors neither would experience per-ignition but damn, 180 HP per liter is impressive in a...

    Look, bottom line: When those 2025's with 540 HP / 521 TRQ under the hood start to whistle past your Hemi... we are all going to be a lil' envious... :eek: On a side note, what will hold it's resale value better: Turbo, EV or N/A?

    What would you prefer?

    I'm purely just guessing but higher grade fuel & more frequent oil changes more important with forced induction? -devil's advocate w/ a fear of more complexity.

    Falken Rubitrek FTW!

    In looks, sound and ride quality they are hard to beat!

    Is it the better/less emissions? In my lizard brain it's hard to imagine that the smaller SST puts out more power & torque and has cleaner emissions.

    Perhaps it does in 2+2=5, Clown World!

    Farewell 5.7

    I had my last truck (2005 MY) for 15 years. Customized it to my liking. Enjoyed ownership. Sold it. Got good money for it. Bought this 2020, paid it off in three years. Customized it to my liking. Really enjoying ownership. After they are paid off is when they are the most enjoyable to me. But I...

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    Anyone that thinks that 3.21 gears are "bogging down" the Hemi at any point, needs to research exactly what volumetric efficiency and peak torque are. And why they both occur at the same RPM.

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    Simple arithmetic: >Large displacement engine + >more RPMs per mile = more fuel burned.

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    Interesting... thank you. By "6th, 7th, and 8th gear at a fixed speed on the same stretch of level road falls out to be about 20, 19, and 18 MPG respectively." What speed were you maintaining? Was it the same speed in all gear ratios? Are you basing this on the mileage/vacuum gauge in the...

    Who here is NOT happy with their e-Torque system?

    Interesting to hear from an actual e-torque product specialist:
