Wanted to get some input on if you guys can think of anything else I may can do to squeeze some more hp out of my Gen 3 hemi. I know it’s probably been awhile since anyone has discussed this model but thought I would give it a try! I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 with the 5.7 and bought it with a blown engine in good condition for 2,000$. Rebuilt the engine back mostly stock with good parts like hell cat lifters and oil pump etc but nothing to where I would need a custom tune. I did re surface the heads and bumped the compression ratio up probably half a point and also ported the heads. The other modifications that have been done are full exhaust including flow tech shorty headers, CAI, and now doing a canned Diablo tune. I have heard that hemi fever can do some good custom tuning and may go this route if you guys think his tuning is a lot better than the pre set tunes on the Diablo I3 tuner. Other than that I have heard of people changing out the torque converter on this year as it has been said to have freed up some hp to the wheels. Anyways if you read through this winded post feel free to let me know what you guys think
Thanks
