throttle lag

y is it that my 3rd gen hemi, Even before headers inatke and exhaust. When i romped on it from a dead stop it would take off like a scalded ape. It would even light up 33" LTZ's from a dead stop on dry pavement.

With the same gear, my 2012 express i can stomp on it, and it if your in the passenger seat you wouldn even know till about 25-3k rpm, and then.........well it turns into a HEMI. why does it feel like it has nothing down low as oppose to a 3rd gen with less horsepower and TQ. will an intake and exhaust make it worse due to the less back pressure?

are you guys with the 4th gen hemi having the same thing. Just floor it from a dead stop and untill the rpms get up there it almost boggs it.

Yes torque management and I think with the newer hemi the torque curve hits later in the rpm range

Because of the lack of tuning, your best bet for off the line performance is a higher stall tq converter.
