I have no reason to doubt them. If it was all a scam or a fraud, then I'm sure someone would have called them out by now. If noone else, the other companies that make heads would have said something if they thought it was BS.

I haev seen the 5.7 So called hemi heads and they arent true hemi heads. and i still dont believe that wit just afr 165's and a bigger carb the 5.0 will make 400 bhp wit a stock cam.
ORIGINAL: aode06

the hemi is a 5.7 with a wicked set of heads and couldnt get 400 hp, just 340 at the flywheel.

a 5.0 can, nice to know that hugh
dont forget, it took 1.7RR's to get it there

Yeah, I just remembered the 1.7s. Those help the engine act as though there is a bigger cam.

i kno, and after reading this article a while back I wanted afr's so bad, but than i talked to a engine builder who specializes in ford and said it was total bs. I dont kno i cant say for sure cause i have never done the afr swap, but i am skeptical

The new Hemihaspolyspherical combustion chambersbut uses the oldinline perpendicular valve design. I have the 5.7 in my 03' 2500. 345hp 375torque pulls the stang trailer like it wasn't there.

Yeah, but I've talked to a lot of builders as well and you know how damned stubborn they can be. Most of them have been doing things "their way" for years and anything new that comes along (or anything you try to tell them) is comsidered bull**** in their eyes. They may know a lot of stuff, but tehy still can be quite stubborn and will enver change their minds.

It's like trying to convince us that ricers can actually have fast cars too.

I guess that my example was a bad one.. Now that I think about it a ricer, by definition, cannot possibly be fast. I guess I should ahve said that some "imports" can be fast. They still sound like ****, and they may lack in the TQ department, but they do have some power.
