Our 6 speed autos, with the aggressive ratios, is far more advanced than the Ram's 545RE tranny. Plus, we have 4.30's and they have 3.92's. VVT definitely helps with our torque curve as well.

The Iforce is an advanced motor, no doubt about it. The only problem is, everyone is falling suit. That's why the new 5.7L Hemi has VVT and puts out 380 HP and 404 ft/lbs of torque. And it's also why Dodge is offering a 6 speed auto in the half tons.

I understand trolls come on here and talk trash about our trucks. But if you want to know why our trucks perform better, it's because of the transmission and gearing, not 25 more horsepower @ 5500 rpm's.

We are talking the hemi motor right now , not in the future .
And they are not similiar at all !
I did not know the hemi on the streets right now had 32 valves , dual ohc , so in my opinion they are not even close .

Everyone is chasing toyota in this dept. right now . Until the new hemi is on the street , it's motor to motor comparison now .
