Les Hall Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Does anyone know if the 2006 Ram Hemi Nightrunner has more hp that the regular Hemi? only thing I found was someone selling one on Ebay claiming "the Nightrunner was 415 Hp stock" anyone know about this,,,Reason I ask is I watched my friend with an 08 V-Max race one,,,The nightrunner had something in the grill that looked like a tranny cooler, but refused to open his hood after someone said they new he was running with a turbo,he claims he only has a shift kit, anyway if it was turbo, it wasn't setup right,,he only beat the V-max two lengths, which is about how much I beat that same V-max last time we raced,,All I have is a Wheatley tune, CAI, Msd wires & magnaflow,, I asked him to come back out and run me and the county po po's broke up the party before we got a chance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Hall Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) I would have agreed with ya totally if I had'nt saw it beat that V-max,,& just ten mins earlier that same V-max beat an 05 Regular cab Rumble-Bee with underdrive pully's, K&N, & a programmer,,,,, I Think the 415hp would make more since than the turbo claim since he only beat the V-Max by a little,,,But like I said I have no Idea, I just know it ran alot better than other Hemi Quad cabs run,,, Edited February 4, 2009 by miSSouriSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8 UR HMI Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 now way any v8 with a turbo wins only bt 2 lengths against something like that. the sprayed hemi that i race all the time cant even keep up with me with my turbo setup. def bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Hall Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Thats why I said it would make more since to that they have more hp than a regular hemi,,,but I don't buy his claim that he only has a shift kit,,he beat the V-max the same amount I did,,And I just smoked an 07 regular cab, 2wd Possi trac hemi wit a programmer ,,,,And I know a shift kit alone won't make those heavier quad cabs run that much faster,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8 UR HMI Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 well ya never know til he pops the hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnitsa Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 maybe that hemi has a stall converter. that would explain the tranny cooler looking thing. i know with a stall and a tune you could prolly gain almost a second. whick is prolly about 2 truck lenghts at 90 mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 The Night Runner I believe is just an appearance package like the Rumble Bee, Daytona, and Hemi Sport...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edved37 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I would also think you would have heard the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Dodge=slow. those are all appearance packages, if it was modded it was done by that guy, and untill very recently there was NO tuning solution for the dodge PCM (double encripted!!!)

blackvmax01 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 one of my buddies has a night runner, and they aren't just the appearance package, the come stock with a chip from factory but its set to a tow mode tough but it runs pretty good if i remember the paper that goes on the window said it had 375hp and like 400tq. It runs a mid to low 15 cause i raced him with just exhaust on my 07 vmax and he got me off the line but i caught him goin into 2nd and barely got him and i ran a 15.0 in this truck with exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCountry Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 didn't want anyone seeing the braided line from his bottle... sounds like he's runnung a small shot to get the edge and the cooler is likely a tranny cooler IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zath Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 The Night Runner I believe is just an appearance package like the Rumble Bee, Daytona, and Hemi Sport...... You are correct, nothing special about the engine as I looked at one last year. Clean looking truck, slow as balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 It is just an appearance package, I googled "DODGE RAM NIGHT RUNNER" and was linked to this.............. http://dodgeforum.com/forum/brand-news-con...er-package.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
