My 5.7L Hemi Gladiator Conversion

[JTPatriot]

I am pretty familiar with the whipple and the 2019 ram, just sayin

STOP IT!! I do not need any more "options" to consider.

Whipple 5.7 hemi would scream beautifully. Would be cool to outfit it woth a smooth boost module and the use the operating system from a track hawk. Factory like driveability with that SC howl

I have no problem with the Hellcat. I think that is one of the most bad ass engines going right now. I am a hopeless tinker so you have to forgive my mad scientist distractions lol

LOL, to each is his/her own! I just won't go that route again for personal reasons!

I can sympathize. I went totally crazy on prior cars and other hobbies as well in the past. My gladiator is one of the most restrained fun projects I have done so far. Curious how much you can reuse from the 5.7 conversion. Hopefully it's not a new transmission again and all all the small stuff so that it's mostly just engine, radiator etc.

you can bunk here with the wife and I as long as we can swap vehicles once in a while

any more updates from living with it? do you have any drone in the 1800rpm range as well with the 5.7? What's your cruising RPM with the big tires I am curious

Not much! My sound stays pretty aggresive....nothing I'd call a drone. I am getting ready to update the tune to premium to try it and compare. Also scheduling some more work to be done at AMW!

Cruising at 80 MPH in 8th just under 2k RPMS.

You have 4:10 gears?

Actually I just looked on the way home. Just above 2k RPMS at 82.

4.88 gears on the UD60 axles.

4.88 with 40’s is roughly between 3.73 and 4.10 on factory tires so 2k at 80 isn’t surprising.

Are you going with the Hellcat swap? Have you considered the Hellephant instead?

Most likely, yes.

I am in a similar range with 2

Most likely, yes.

Yes to what???? If you put the elephant in there you need a second NT as daily driver
