Ebay special on top, LMC Truck on bottom. I was gonna do LMC on top to but not for $200. The top lights stick out about 1/2 inch from the sides tho, but i like em

[Hatfieco]

Did they actually make the lights any brighter?

[Stucknthemud]

maybe a little. I just have stock bulbs in for now. Later im gonna do some ultra whites or something and take the yellows ou of the parking lights

I kinda wish it was, but it's just the 5.7, but it moves it just fine.

I ran 16.3 and he ran 16.2...I had him off the line and all the way up the the last 100feet or so before the end of the 1/4 mile. I had him by a a lot until about 70mph when he crept past me. We both put a 1/4 tank of gas in our trucks and I had a passenger and he did not. This was my close freind that loved to run his mouth saying his hemi would work my tahoe..well I proved him wrong and gave him way more a run than he thought.

I totally agree with the times you posted for your friends hemi. My friends 06 CCSB hemi with factory 20's and with magnaflow duals, intake, and I think superchips tuner ran a 15.9xx. They are hindered so badly by TM that he didnt even need to launch in 4wd, the rear tires would barely chirp in 2wd.

OP, race him in the 1/8 mile and it will be pretty close.

There is nothin wrong with the 5.7 they move right along. If I hadnt planned on lifting it I woulda gone with the 5.7. But since I knew I was gonna put 35s on it the 7.4 made since. No need for a change in gearing, plenty of get up and mileage is pretty close to a 5.7 on 35s from what I have heard.

then there must be something wrong with his hemi cuz my neighbors cant catch traction to save its life, ccsb 4x4 1500, and its damne quick id say maybe even faster than my 6.0 and its bone stock. you all keep dreaming a 5.7 can beat a hemi

[bradthomashines]

i say get the advantage by doing a few mods first intake,custom tune, exhaust and then just race. would make things alot closer if anything. then if u lose and he talks **** just whipp his ass hahaha. u could always just throw some 5.13's in it on some small tires and just murder him haha

[DarkCharisma]

Hemi all the way in that match up.

Your chevy 5.7s must be dogs where you live. I drive the 5.7 Hemis DAILY at work and there nothing special. In fact I was test driving one Quad Cab Short Bed 1500 2wd and got waxed by a Cherokee with a 4.0 I6. It was slightly uphill, we got an even start, both on the floorboard and he slowly but surely pulled ahead and around me. My 4.7 is a mid 16 second 1/4 mile truck and it runs neck and neck with a hemi through 1st and only loses 3 truck lengths in the 1/4 to a hemi. The hemi is NOTHING special.

i think the site should be re named 5.7chevy cuz its the best motor ever built

I am just saying the Hemi is nothing spectacular nor is the 6.0

It CAN keep up and PASS both of the other engines I just mentioned. Ask the techs that I have raced at the Dodge Dealer I work for. 5,500 lbs Van with a slightly moded 350 Vortec out-runs their 5.7 Quad Cabs with EASE.

its like talking to a brick wall with all you guys....

Whats so spectacular about the 6.0 and the Hemi, NOTHING!

Watch the videos and come to your own conclusions. I have drive the Hemis on a daily basis and own the same truck with a 4.7. There is nothing special about either.

0-70 in 11 seconds on the Hemi Ram.

0-70 with a slipping trans in the FULLSIZE CONVERSION VAN I made it in 11 seconds, bouncing the rev limiter multiple times on teh 1-2 shift. Should I mention I have the stock converter and stock 3.08 gears.

Give me some other form of hard proof than that says a small block 350 with vortec heads cannot beat a hemi. They CAN AND DO! The stock Hemi makes more HP up top, but less torque down low than the stock Chevy 5.7 and is actually way down on its advertised power due to torque management and catalyst overheat protection.

[rebelbowtie]

i cant really give you any proof. im sure i could find it if i tried but i really dont care enough. its just getting real old getting on here and everybody and there momma is so brain washed into think there 5.7 L31 or L05 or whatever they have is the ultimate motor its not. there just a regular truck motor.

As is the 4.8/5.3/6.0 and 5.7 Hemi. I am not brain washed, I work with things outside of this forum. I have messed with and modified most of these engines. The 5.7 Chevy is a still a hell of an engine and has been around forever. The 5.7 is MORE than capable of taking these newer engines around the block.
