My bad.. typo. Thanks for fixing my goof. I did mean 6.1L (although 7.1 would be really, REALLY interesting!). I just finished talking with our local source for Dodge police vehicles. The 2009 police sedans are coming equipped with a "second generation" 5.7L Hemi... the HP has been upped to 368. Yowza!! I thought 340 ponies was sufficient! I'll have to wait until June of next year before we see our '09's, though. As far as I know, unless someone bought a civilian version and put it in service, there aren't any police Chargers with the 6.1L.[/quote]
Keep talking to those sources and they might be able to tell you how to get up to 415 horse out of a 2007 or 2008 5.7. There a few computer tricks, all the motors come out of the factory de-tuned. When I got my Durango serviced last week in Johnston there was a group of mechanics I used to know from a former Dodge dealer that showed me that a 6.1 SRT-8 motor can crank out over 520 horse from the factory.......you just need the 25,000 computer terminal to unleash them (and it voids the warranty <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
