We can go on about the whole BB SB thing but once you smoke the rears of a Hemi, you won't want anything else. LOL

A Hemi is a BB. Well, there were very few SB Hemi's and are rare, but they sucked. And they got that distinct sound.....

Seen the 1 in 2F2F? That's really the way they are.

Small blocks can be upwards of 434 ci and big blocks can be smallish like 352 ci. While the engines might be referred to as "small" or "big" the term is more or less relative unless you are going by what the manufacturer classifies the engine as.

The sounds is amazing LOL, I was actually reffering to the Hemi Dodge Ram. I work for a Dodge Dealership you see, and I love those things. Check out the kills section for a surprise if you haven't seen it already!!!

Oh. I hadn't seen that yet, but I'll check it out. The military was curteous enough to give is 2 new rentals when I went to Cali a few weeks back...1 was a new 4.7L Ram. The other was the new Hemi Ram. I wasn't really that impressed, though. We topped them out 2! 4.7L did 105 & Hemi did 110. I think...it's either that or the other way around.

You really have to get the 1500 Ram Hemi because it comes with 275/60 Wrangler HP's all around with an R compound rolling on 20's. The thing is seriously light compared to other compareble trucks and when the 4WD sys. is turned off, the sucker really flies down low. I have no problem leaving a HUGE 40 foot burnout at just 3/4's of throttle to get it going. It's truly SICK, LOL!!!
