6.1 hemi ? will it happen? - 3/15/2008 7:22:47 PM    nemesisprogram   Posts: 208 Joined: 12/26/2007 Status: offline Do you think the 09 ram will introduce a new 6.1 hemi? I think that would be awsome for dodge. Also it would put a end to the Toyota 5.7 iforce talking all that trash. Or maybe they will do what they did with the 3rd gen? keep the 5.7 for 09 like they did with the 5.9 in 02...Then Change it over from a 5.7 to 6.1 in 2010. What kind of numbers do you think a 6.1 hemi would produce in the ram?  < Message edited by nemesisprogram -- 3/15/2008 7:29:10 PM > _____________________________ 05 Dodge Ram 2dr Longbed 4x4 3.92 Limited Slip Sportsmaster Slantside Tonneau Westin Platinum Series Step Bars AFE Cold Air Intake Stage 2 Pioneer p600UB Deck-6x9 5 ways 17 inch crome clads / 285/70/17 ATRS Flowmaster 40 + Dual out Post #: 1

But even if they don't offer one you can allways install a 6.1 from a charger,or jeep or get a 6.1 crate motor. _____________________________ 2006 1500 QC SLT Big Horn 5.7L Hemi, K&N CAI Edelbrock headers custom Y-pipe Dynomax Ultraflow Catback Superchips Alpine head unit,speakers,subs and amps.

I can't see them changing this one either. They just upgraded it to 310 HP and 330 lb-ft of torque, which puts this motor back as a decent competitor.
