5.7 HEMI Vs. 408 Stroker

USCG CHARGER said
Nice car... you need to get intouch with Stu at Inertia Motorsports though.. he built my 5.7 based stroker and it goes in the 10's @ 122 MPH and a 1.52 60' with my 06 Charger (4400 lbs).. The secret is to have the 6.1 ported heads and Intake on the 5.7 block... CAm at Crank This Performance makes an adapter or you can have Stu make ur heads large chambered... The 09 5.7 intake is basicly the same as the 6.1 intake but its plastic and 1/3 the cost...Cams are obviously key to these 3rd gen hemis as well.... my little ole 222/226 is a baby compaired to alot of these guys that have similar engines but mine is .5 sec faster....

I wanted to run 6.1 heads but no one makes a dual quad intake for them yet and fuel injection dosn't work with what I was going for besides ported 6.1L heads are too large to run on a stock displacement 5.7L. The cam you have won't work for me either. I didn't want a semi smooth Idol. I wanted it to be choppy and pull to 7000rpm. I built just what I wanted, a non stroked 5.7L that dosn't sound like a 5.7L and will run just under a 11.49 so I won't have to put a roll bar in the car. Thanks8)
