Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

[318willrun]

I keep looking at the 4.30 gears, 29 inch slicks, and 450ish ft/lbs of torque at 3200 with the 2500’ish stall converter. And then looking at the way the truck was launching while breaking into the 12’s. While it’s probably not going to be as fast as the 5.9 magnum, we might get to see a little daylight showing under the left front tire.

It's a long bed remember... LOL I think the "net" torque from the factory was 325. Don't know what that would be in gross. And, the 440 may push the stall up a little more - that's all torque relevant

I don't remember. Do you run the truck with the tailgate off or down?

up or down, never off. My wife loves the factory "Dodge" decal on the tailgate. So it stays.

Well, some tracks will tell you either leave it off or close it. They can become a projectile in a crash. Plus if you took it off, that's more weight gone.

Our track doesn't care. If there is a crash with my truck, there will be a lot more projectiles than an tailgate LOL

The times some of these guys are throwing around and putting down the 440, I figured they were referring to it performing like a Ewe instead of a Ram. lol

Add a bug deflector on the hood and a tonneau cover on the bed for that nascar wind tunnel effect. that brick house will drag some air with her. J/k! Be worth a test
