RE: 5.7 6.1 hemi differences parts swapping
I got a question for the more hard core gear heads out there. I am hearing from various sources that the 5.7 will be easier built out (increased HP) than the 6.1.
Also, do we know if this is true for the manual trans versions as well? If fewer high tech advantages are available for the manual optioned cars (no MDS, no VVT, etc.) where does that leave the "tuners" for the 6.1? or the 5.7?
Another question. Do you think Chrysler is working on getting these mpg bonuses into the manuals for 2010? I know the new CAFE laws are going into effect soon (2012 I think), it would make sense Chrysler, (if they want to keep these big engines alive), will have to come up with some new technology to improve mileage. (Not that mileage is something "we" the enthusiast is focusing on.).
Thoughts?
