Looking forward with the New HEMI

Post by scottm »

Not really new news, but the 5.7 will get variable cam timing (VCT)
in the 2009 Ram trucks for an increase in power to 380 hp 404 ft-lb.
Allpar mentions the 2500/3500 will be rated at 355 hp and 395 ft-lb.

The 6.1 in the SRT8s might get replaced by a 6.4 in the late 2009 or
2010 model year. Horsepower is expected to be in the upper 400s.
There's talk of MDS coming to the SRT8s. I can see that happening,
but not sure how it will play out with the timing of the 6.1/6.4.
