F 150 4X4 which is a stock fresh 351M 2bbl and a C-6 with a clutch pak and shift kit, 3.50 diffs .
In the 1/4 Mi. I had 2 full lengths on him (no clock) and he was not gaining any.
I was already up to almost the double 00's on my speedo and shut her down there .
I do not know what gears he is running or if he may have crawled by after 100mph but he certainly has poop from the hole next to my old plug .
He is only 20 and would not believe I had not touched my motor as I have a reputation for never leaving well enough alone . I had to lift the hood and show him my stock components and good ole' Motocraft 2 bbl to convince him . That Ram sure does sound nice with those big pipes though . Almost like the old muscle car glasspak rumble . Does not help him beat a real truck though even with his plastic reduced weight and oversized tires . The Ford has 33" on it right now so our OD is about the same any way .
Those 454 Heavy Chevy's were the same way , all noise at the exhaust and
no stink from the back wheels . I think I've blown 5 or 6 of them off .

Hey, I'm with the Ford 351.I have had those engines and know their capabilities.That is a very strong engine.It's hard to get out of the hole due to burning rubber!It sounds like the Hemi might have a governor on it or something to make it go so slow?

eindow, I just watched your video.That was the most entertainment I have had all day (except for this post).That did not appear to be the Hemi that is being discussed on this post(maybe supercharged).When Escorts the Taurus beat the you know what out of the Hemi, there is a problem!Great Video and Go Ford!
Good Luck and Have Fun!

Well I know one thing I just put a tranny in a dodge today 
. I am driving home some old guy waves me down I pull over asks me if I have my hitch on and asks me if I want to make $100, his tranny is slipping to the point it wont pull his trailer (enclosed trailer atvs inside it) sure 5 miles down the road, seems they build the hemi strong but the tranny isn't 03 hemi had to limp home with a ford pulling its trailer.

Hello.I think after seven redlights that it was pretty clear what the guys intentions were!Come on and face facts or better yet bring a Hemi over and we can video my wife in her 95 Taurus STATIONWAGON out run that hemi from one redlight to the next.I never said the Taurus was faster or had more ponies than the hemi,All I stated was the plain and simple cold hard facts of what happened that night,The wifes Taurus smoked him,not on the open highway,not in the quarter mile,just city block to city block,oh and by the way,the way the lights are timed on that street you hit every redlight and it was pretty obvious that guy was getting more than alittle pissed or maybe he was just implying that I was # 1 when he displayed that finger and I could see it being a fluke or mistake by the driver if it had been one light or two but it was everylight,every block.He got spanked and he knew it.

Haha, why do people have to be like that? if I somehow got smoked by another rig, I'd give him thumbs up, no pride in being a sore loser. And whoever said a tuarus and an escort cant ride with a hemi needs to take a ride in one of these. They are very fast off the line. And weigh a lot less. Sure the hemi would pass them but not until both are already passed at least 75mph.

I never realized the Taurus and Escort were such strong runners.That must be why Nascar driver's use the Taurus.It is no wonder why so many were sold throughout the years.They are great if they can smoke the Hemi.Maybe the Hemi's need a supercharger or something to help out?It sounds like they need more than 345 HP to take on the Escort and Taurus.Go Ford!
