I own a 2015 Ram 1500 hemi. Great truck. Always wondered what drive train loss there would be at the wheel, given the 395HP number is at the crank. I was a little shocked to see 90HP loss at the wheel, though. I guessed maybe half that. I'd love to do this conversion to my truck, but the trouble is finding professionals near me who actually know what they're doing to do the work properly. The 126HP gain at the wheel was impressive. I'm guessing this voids the heck out of the warranty, but I'm past mine anyway. Looking forward to seeing more about how this truck turned out, and perhaps learning how much it cost to do the job.

[@McHoochWerks-gu1pk]

Heard automatic trans causes around 25% parasitic loss and a manual 15%+ depending on clutch setup. Drive a 2016 Hemi and honestly don't have any complaints. Better than an 87 speed density f150. Lol

Hoping for a response, I have a 2016 Ram Rebel. 5.7L V8 I've already installed: Sport AWE exhaust S&B Cold Air Intake Throttle body spacer Diablo Tune with 93 octane tune. I have someone who says he can install a "turbo kit 78 mm producing over 550 hp, comes with intercooler, exhaust manifolds, fuel pump, and headers" for about $4k. And new I'll need to install new fuel injectors. Is this a realistic expectation? Is there anything else I should replace? Anyone have any idea what I should I expect as a result?

I love the trucks. I see them EVERYWHERE. “Truck of the year” yep It sure was! I own a 2003 1500 5.7. Solid truck still! It has mods. Just right amount of power. It was raised a little bit (may lift it a little soon) it has exhausts, K&N air filter, power programmer kit. It’ll make a little over 400hp but even though it’ll make probably 415hp it feels MORE than that. That K&N air filter (it has a larger one) it’ll make it aggressive with the power. I give it just about half throttle and its already going 40mph. Awesome motor but they love fuel. They guzzle. Yep. Mine taking 93 octane all the time... well I’m lucky my local gas station around the corner from my home has good prices. I’ll never let the truck go more under a little under than half a tank. It’ll be 50$ each time I fill it which is... decent. I filled it up at MANY other gas stations of course. Most amount of money I put into fuel for that mofo is 70$... that was just about on E... the gas station down the road from my place is a Citgo by the way. I hate going to Mobil with the truck it’s more expensive. I have added just the right amount of power To my 03 hemi. So damn good! Truck kicks ass.

That comparison in forced induction is way cool. I always had turbo cars but want to try superchargers but didn't know to go with a roots or centrifugal induction.

[@Brock_Landers]

I've always wanted to get an older Charger with the 5.7 and upgrade it. I drove one when they first came out and was really impressed by their performance. However, I would much rather have a 392 Challenger with a 6 speed manual, but who wouldn't that's a Mopar nut?

[@5000BlueStudios]

Someone who wants to go fast! Next!

[@thehomeofbiglspower]

What about piston ring gap for boost? NA gap is smaller than FI due to less heat (because of less fuel). Rings expand with additional heat reducing gap. Either way sweet build, Gotta love superchargers!

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

The proper way to add boost is to use forged internals and lower the static compression and gap the rings properly and the right cam without too much overlap.

[@Dman9875]

Honestly costs like no less than 6k to really do this upgrade ! So your call, I am looking into really putting some power into my ‘14 ram 1500 sport , so far just a flow master 40 series muffler, pedal commander and a K&N cold air intake...next I’m looking at getting 2.5 in lift, replace some old parts and then hopefully either cam it or get long tubes

[@0069kdavis]

[@basshead.]

[@jeffreypottsll6723]

Agreed but pulley size dictates that. Probably could run a smaller pulley for higher boost. This isn’t all out horsepower, but reliable power for a stock towing truck.

[@rotor13]

It runs really low boost, even with the bigger pulley they used and the blower itself is actually quite small. At best they're running 9psi. out of the box IIRC its like 5-6psi. If you're expecting the 200+hp gain that Mustangs and Camaro's are putting out (plus costs $2k+ or more), you're mistaken as these kits run higher boost and the blowers themselves have higher airflow rates. $6k for a blower kit that is this easy to install, in a gas truck that is going to be used for hauling, is a damn good deal. I wish the $10k I paid for my 2.8L Kenne Bell kit for my S500 was cheaper, but the near 800whp its putting down more than makes up for the cost.

Hell, you might even like your truck. 2nd if you knew enough to look through the entire dino run, you'd know that the tq they're getting made a huge jump down low, this is not a car motor, it is made to get tq faster. If you had a truck you relied on for towing and getting to work, this boost is safe. You have a truck now that clears 400 hp and tq easy and you're getting more mpg as well as long as you're not standing on it all the time

[@doortek5348]

Decent channel with honest results by using a Dyno... the costs, especially the cost per horsepower would be nice to know. Interesting is that the 390HP rating for the push rod 5.7 is obviously at the crank and not SAE... which this dyno test showed to be 305HP.

[@SGTJDerek]

If you pulled it and stuck it on a Dyno, you might get closer to that 390 rating. Even at the height of the Muscle Wars you never got the to the tires ratings, and even then they published Gross HP.

Motor is fine. The problem is the pistons. To meet epa requirements the rings had to be moved closer to the end giving it less "meat" making them a little more brittle if you have a detonation so you don't want to go above 5 to 8lbs of boost. by dropping in pistons you say to hell with the epa and you can boost the hell out of it.

oddly enough there is an electric fan in front of the belt driven one, for the a/c. The popular this to do is replace that fan with the electric fan from the V6 truck, it is a bigger fan with more CFM and then remove the shroud and belt driven fan altogether.

@@WOWster007 its funny you say that...i just purchased a 360 stroker last month for $1900. it makes the 360 a 408. it came with forged Scat crank and rods, forged pistons with new ring packs, freshly machined block, and all new rod and main bearings. I'm in the process of clearancing the block for the ARP rod bolts. i would have liked to use the supercharger from that Shelby Durango, but it looks like it would clutter up the engine bay and i couldn't find much info on it

@@PANTYEATR1 I believe that one was Kenne Bell kit those are discontinued for the 5.9 so you have to find one used. Honestly the centrifugal blowers make more power than the roots style. Good luck with your stroker build!

[@heavymetalcowboy5359]

Will the Vararam intake match up/work with this supercharger?

[@sylermran]

any aftermarket intake would help more then the stock one lol
