The 6.4 HD Hemi Thread

I dont get the lift concept. Stock is high enough.

To each their own. It's sharp, i like how it looks. But i'm not going to drop a few grand to make mine sit up that much higher.

Keep us updated!

No one has coils for an 8" kit yet especially the gas engine. Although I found out a couple more options that may be coming up around the time I'll be getting mine, so we'll see what's available then.

Intake

Hey guys,

Finally got around to talking with a rep from aFe about using my truck for a mock up for an intake. I'll keep y'all posted but unfortunately so far it will take six months to year for the whole process.

I just wanted to say I've been reading your post for a long time and thought I would contribute. I got my truck back in November so I've had for it for awhile I just finally got to really start customizing it.

Nice. Looks awesome. What lift and tires and wheels do you have.

 

[Ronin]

Bds 5.5 with 22inch fuel nutz on 37 nittos

 

[TWILLIAMS9]

Thanks Hemi I had it built by a company called DV8 in West Palm Beach Florida I wanted to be able to fully recline my back seats since that's the reason I bought the mega cab.

Haha nice wheels there Ronin. Just was curious if you did the drop down kit or the 4link.

 

[Ronin]

Bbs didn't offer the 4link lift when I ordered my lift.

Is that the BDS 5.5" kit?

 

[Ronin]

Went Drag Racing!

finally got the truck out to the track last night, made my first run with the tuner still in economy mode, no burn out, launched in 2wd, no spin ran a 17.01, next two runs still in economy were 17.1, then tried a burn out, tires were still wet and spun, ran in the 18s.

as the sun went down and it got cooler i gave in to temptation and i put the tuner to the 87 tune for the extra 8hp that diablo says i get (lol) and ran a 16.8, then last run of the night ran a 16.6 at 85mph.

truck weight around 7260 with me in it, i have a diablo trinity, a magnaflow muffler that is flow through, a afe drop in filter and the truck has 4.10 gears

to be honest i was kinda disappointed with my times, my truck felt faster than a 17s truck, i thought in the heat of the day i shoulda been under 16.5 and at night close to 16.2ish, but guess i over estimated haha

according to my hp calculator based on et(16.6) and weight(7260) my rwhp is 313, which is quite low in my mind, but based on mph(85) and weight(7260) my rwhp is 348 which seems more like it, which is about a 20% drivetrain loss, but based on that hp and weight i should be running low 16s, so im gonna chalk up my slower than expected time to the fact that the truck weighs alot, and the truck is having a hard time grunting itself off the line, which i must say it isnt very snappy off the line but pulls pretty good at just before 1/8th mile

sorry for the novel just wanted to report my findings haha

next upgrade will be a 87mm thottle body, then an intake if anyone ever comes out with one(come on s&b)
