Cuda SRT8 392 Gen.III Hemi

5.7 hemi said
I beg to differ on the 5.7 based 392's not being any good. Go over to lx forums and check it out, you might be surprised.

I was a regular on LX Forums & pioneered many of the performance mods to the LX platform

I was the 1st to successfully change the axle gear ratio in an LX. I pioneered the use of M & H Frontrunners on the LX. I was the 1st 5.7 powered LX to break the 12.1 mark N/A. I was the 1st 5.7 powered LX to run under 11.5 & held that record for some time. (11.30 @ 121.87)

I worked W/Paramount Performance on the 8.8 Ford conversions & ran the 2nd prototype running 12 flat W/a shitty 2800 stal & a rich tune (for a different camshaft) on my 1st appearance W/the 3.23 axle ratio 8.8 on 28" rubber weighing in @ 4300#.

The 5.7 based 392 are NOT the greatest performers.

I outran most of them W/my N/A 5.7. Even the best 5.7 based 392 could not hold a candle to a 6.1 based 392.

It's an under square engine & it doesn have very good volumetric effeciancy..

PowerWagon,

I also believe that any 5.7L Hemi can be made to run extremely well. The pre-09 heads can be made to flow really well, in the range of 300-325 CFM, if you're willing to change the valves. The '10 5.7 heads are even better. Some even argue, (I don't agree) that the 5.7 block is stronger.
