TYPO and old news! The Dodge Ram Truck HEMI is rated at 345 but has less torque. The engine used in the 300C Concept car had 345HP and 365 or 370 ft/lbs of torque before the development of the HEMI MDS engine used only in the 300C and Magnum RT.

Not for the 300C but for the 2006 300 SRT-8 version. Also the 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT-8. 6.1 liter HEMI with minimum of 425HP. Both car should debut along with the 2006 Dodge Charger at either or both the Dec 2004 LA Auto Show or the Jan 2005 Detroit Auto Show.

That would be cool, a Durango SRT-8! I just read that there will also be a SRT tuned Jeep also. Probably a Jeep Grand Cherekee SRT-8.

wonder if nos is answer to hp increase? and, will engine take it? does anything else need to be done mechanically or electrically to make nos compatable? i assume nos installation will eliminate engine/drivetrain warranty. is there a website to help with these questions?
