Hemi. The word conjures up visions of racing and street domination.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest American V-8s ever produced,
Chrysler released its third-generation version of the engine in 2003 and
installed it in a wide range of Chrysler cars and trucks. Most stock
Hemi engines produce an impressive one horsepower per cubic inch, but
they can make substantially more torque and horsepower for specific
applications.
Fitted with the right high-performance parts, these powerful engines can
produce far more horsepower and torque than stock. Selecting the ideal
parts for the engine and application is essential. Veteran author and
dyno testing expert Richard Holdener has done the research, gathered the
data, and provided a detailed analysis of the results. Within the pages
of this book, heads and camshafts, headers and exhaust, intakes,
throttle bodies, manifolds, electronic engine controls, forced-air
induction, and nitrous oxide are all tested. Using this comprehensive
information and the dyno results, you can select the best performance
parts for your engine and application. Each test provides a thorough
description of the parts, test engine, and testing conditions, plus
evaluation and insight into the results. Tests from budget to highend
engine builds are conducted to fit a wide spectrum of applications, so
you can apply the testing data and results to your specific build
project. Horsepower and torque graphs illustrate dyno test results for
clear comparisons. In turn, it takes all the guesswork out of selecting
parts, which saves you time and money.
With the right parts, you can build the most potent street,
street/strip, or full-race engine. Whether you’re building a mild street
Hemi, a race engine, or something in between, this book is a valuable
resource.
• The New Hemi always seems to be in the news, including the recent
release of the new Dodge Demon, which is equipped with an 800+hp Hemi
• The only Hemi dyno-tested parts book on the market, where actual parts
performance is verified through detailed dyno test results and
comprehensive analysis
• Saves you time and hassle from individually researching parts in each
of the component groups
