ssblackss Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Just a quick note for the street racers amung us Watch out for the STS Hemi. We just got through dynoing the Turbo Hemi. 410 RWHP and 468 TQ at 7lbs smokes the rear tires from a 30mph roll. Traction will still be an issue but they will go some once rolling. Just a heads up Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdriveGTP Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Damn, a turbo hemi?!? Is that a new factory package from Dodge or has this been an aftermarket add-on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrow Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I'm going to check the STS site but if anyone has anymore info on it, I'd appreciate it. My buddy at work that has a HEMI would like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN C5 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Dodge may make a nice truck but I wouldn't buy one just because their HEMI commercials are so dumb. Which would make it even worse to get beat by one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcairns Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I have been following that over at dodgetruckworld, those guys are pretty excited to have some kind of forced induction available. It seems the supercharger makers have tried, but failed to get the Hemi blown. One of them stated that the top ring of the piston was too close to the top of the piston (for emissions reasons) making the piston top susceptible to cracking off. It will be interesting to see if a "gentler" turbo will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSMANIAC Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 In another topic, I was reading today that chrysler is going to release the 300C as an SRT8 Edition powered by a 6.1 HEMI Engine on a possible AWD Putting out 425 hp. Release date is expected in Spring 05. Hello GM are you hearing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeefTip Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 In another topic, I was reading today that chrysler is going to release the 300C as a SRT8 Edition powered by a 6.1 HEMI Engine on a possible AWD Putting out over 400 hp. Hello GM are you hearing this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think the magnum is already available in AWD so I dont find it too hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 From most of the people that i have talk to, the stock hemi was kind of a let down when it came out. The seat of the pants performance was disappointing. I think that is the whole reason why they came out with the larger displacement 6.1, so they could make some more power to keep up with the competition.

deezel Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 I talked to Billy May (owner of Texas Rear Turbos) last weekend. He said that STS was just nailing down the tune on their test truck for the Dodge system. Sounds like they have it working ok... we'll see how the track and street results pan out after they get a few customers with systems installed. He also mentioned that STS has their kit for the GTO almost finished... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
