5.7 HEMI Vs. 408 Stroker

Well, let me chime in again here, as I have a modded 2009 SRT-8 Chally 6-Speed and a 68 Notchback with a very beefy 408. The Cuda will hand the Chally it's @$$ on a dragstrip, but they are 2 different animals. On the highway, dam the Chally is awesome! I think the 6.1 is the wave of the future, but after bolting on a set of Eddy's ported and milled by RyanJ, get ready to beef up your tranny and rear end. The 6.1 doesn't hit its powerband until about 3 grand. The 408 comes in much sooner, even with a large roller cam. I say go with the 408 for now and let the aftermarket catch up on few more things for the 3rd gen.
