Here are some more information for Mopar Hemi:

When Dodge rolled out a hot and trendy new body style back in 2002, people took notice of a revolutionary and popular look that owners simply love. With a huge selection of various trim lines, hot engine choices like the the V6, 4.6 V8 and the hot rod 5.7 Hemi, customizing options are a veritable sky's the limit. Nobody wants to compromise driving less in their nice Rams at the cost of saving money at the pump this summer. Gas might get back up to record levels seen last summer of 2008, so here's the chance to prepare you're truck for vacationing fun and recreation. And so here is a list of some of the most inexpensive aftermarket performance parts that are a must have to save you money at the pump.

No doubt, the least expensive item one can buy for any vehicle, even any engine size Dodge Ram, is a performance air filter. The great thing about the filters is that they are cheap, easy to install, and are reusable for years to come. Not only that, an installed performance air filter will net drivers a 1-3 mpg increase and about a 10-15 HP gain. Additionally, install time is about 15-20 minutes, which will leave much more time for more important activities. K&N and Airaid are the most well known dealers in cleanable performance air filters, so be sure to find one for about $35-55 dollars at auto parts retailers. The more involving and expensive fuel injection performance kits gets you a cold air intake tube and more air flow to your engine with slightly higher HP and torque gains as well. As a result, don't leave this out of your add ons list, they are a must for any vehicle.

The great thing about the recent body styles and the all new 2009, the exhaust sounds are tremendous for a stock application, but they do have their faults and weaknesses. A nice aftermarket exhaust system will pound for more hustle and muscle. And not only that, a quality exhaust system will release all the burnt gases more efficiently and increase your fuel economy and HP/torque. Retailers like Borla, Magnaflow, Mopar, and Flowmaster have readily available kits to sell and will take an afternoon's time to install with some basic hand tools. Most kits come complete with the required hardware, mandrel bent tubing, stainless tips, and comprehensive instructions to get you started. There is nothing better than upping the ante on an already powerful engine in your Dodge Ram.

Finally, the last must have performance goody to get is a performance chip. Performance chips will re-educate the trucks computer to adjust shift points and fuel curves, therefore getting you very noticeable HP/Torque gains and fuel economy improvements. Plus with this easy install, the truck will have better transmission shift algorithms that will eliminate some wear and tear on your vital parts. Hypertech and superchips sell the best chips in the marketplace today. Most chips install in less than half hour without the use of any sort of OBD setup or other specialized tools. And so, the performance chip is an easy do-it-yourselfer, and instructions are always included.

And there you have it, don't get left out of the crowd with a plain stock truck. Even small and inexpensive add ons will get you noticed in a heartbeat, and the money you save on gas and maintenance will be very noticeable too. Recently, the trend towards Hybrid automobiles has certainly been the cat's meow. Don't get left out of the crowd and transform your new or older Dodge Ram into an electric hybrid. Not only will you smash the fuel economy arena with a hybrid, but the government will pay you tax credits for driving a clean fuel truck.

Transform your new or pre-owned Dodge Ram into a popular money saving and money making hybrid truck. Can easily be done in a day and costs less than $300 to do! Please visit my site to get more information on this hot performance addition: http://kookoox10-silverado-exhaust.blogspot.com/

Sema: Cars Gone Wild

At this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association Show, automakers and car parts manufacturers will flaunt their hottest products. And one of the automakers that intend to grab the limelight is Auburn Hills-based Chrysler LLC. with a bunch of wild cars.

The SEMA show, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, attracts more than 100,000 industry leaders from over 100 countries. Last year, the show drew over 50,000 domestic and international buyers through two million square feet of exhibits. The displays are segmented into 11 sections, and a New Products Showcase features more than 2,000 newly launched parts, tools and components, the organization said.

Most minivans may not call the SEMA show home, but Chrysler designers have created a family hauler worthy of the license plate DBL-DWN. The Black Jack, one of eight pimped-out rides from Chrysler, will introduce at the SEMA show next week complete with a card room and a large screen TV, reported the Detroit News. Its smoky subtle exterior gives way to garish sin City’s showroom inside, where a lighted table and floor sparkle over the suede and leather interior.

"I found inspiration in those old lounges and bars," said the minivan's designer Marc Reisen. "We put 10 to 15 coats of paint on here before we knew we got it just right.”

Underneath the paint is an orange pin stripe that illuminates under the bright light that spells out "Black Jack" on the hood. It is extreme, fun and cuts to the point of how carmakers showcase vehicles at SEMA. Take the ordinary and make them extra outrageous, said Ralph Gilles, the vice president of Jeep/truck design.

"Under every SEMA vehicle there is an underlying truth," Gilles said. "Sometimes we're trying to stimulate interest in Mopar (Chrysler's aftermarket parts division); other times we're trying to test the waters and show people (a vehicle's) potential" through radical design.

Gilles said that the Dodge Ram BFT is an example of an extreme truck with real-world potential. "A savvy truck guy can look past the cosmetic parts and see a truck with a 10-foot bed," he said.

Designer Scott Krugger said that almost everything on the BFT, which stands for Built For Towing, is already factory-produced. The design team put a regular cab on a 160-inch heavy duty frame. They also used the metal from a Mega Cab's doors to extend the bed to 10 feet, he added.

All of Chrysler's SEMA vehicles are built by the Mopar Underground design team. The team consists of ultimate enthusiasts dream up and creates just about anything on wheels.

Included in this year’s Chrysler's SEMA lineup are the two-door Jeep Wrangler JT with a 5-foot bed, Jeep Wrangler Ultimate equipped with a 392-cubic-inch Hemi crate engine and an overhauled interior, Jeep Wrangler All Access premium interior vehicle with excellent off-road capabilities and 35-inch tires, and minivan racer Dodge Caravan R/T with a spoiler, hood scoop and 20-inch tires.

Another entry from the maker of the Dodge air filter is the Avenger Tuner Stormtrooper which includes a 4-liter V-6 for added power and Internet connectivity for all four passengers.

Where do I get a relatively affordable 350ci and up chevy or mopar v8...here in the Philippines?

Remember chevrolet and mopars were pretty darn popular here during the 50's up to the late 60's...i was planning to build an owner-type jeep roadster stuffed with a 305, 350, heck I'd give an arm and a leg to cram in a 426 HEMI...problem is the people here dont even know what a HEMI is or what the numbers 305 and 350 or 440 or 426 stand for... most drivers have civics and corollas and lancers..(1500cc, 1600cc,1600cc respectively) so they would know very little about it.. please tell me what particular shop or person has such a motor...(I appreciate positive comments and helpful hints...^^)

Ok a HEMI is a type of dual direct injected engine invented by Daimler Chrysler. It directly injects the petrol into the engine to give it more fizz. A 350ci is how big a engine is ie. 350 cubic inches. Basically the bigger the engine is the same as more cc. I don't really know about the Philippines but you could maybe check some exotic car mags for Chevy or Mopar. P.S. If you didn't know 1600cc is AKA 1.6L.

The Dodge Super Stock SeminarsQ: Greg, I remember going to the Dodge dealer back in the late 1960s and remember a traveling drag race team that would meet with the MOPAR owners and fans in the dealership. Do you recall who this was? Al K., Michigan.
