Much appreciated Me78569!!!!

Sorry fellas, I'll create a new thread! I've never really spoke on forums before so didn't know the rules! Thanks again

Hello, hope everyones weekend was great! Unfortunetely today is my monday and I am here at work! So I have had a change in plans after reading a bunch today on what to do with my Hemi build. And I have also increased my budget by another $1000 or so. So with this new idea in mind I am stuck on how to build the 5.7 for use with either a procharger or a supercharger. Don't know alot about either one except the way they work but for my application on the rebuild being a 392 Stroker and all how I should build the lower half and what to do about my cam situation. So what do you think? Continue with the forged stroker 392, and just port polish heads, upgrade throttle body and fuel injectors and keep a mild cam for tuning? I just need a good starting point. The price between procharger and superchargers are roughly about the same I am just wondering which is a little easier to install and the power outcome differences matched with what I am wanting to do to the rebuild. Thanks again!

Dynamic you're breaking my heart here! Lol, I was being optimistic and it got shot down. Ha, so let's say I build the healthy block like I've mentioned with the 392 stroker build and get the MDS out of the way and tuned, cammed, and the proper headwork. And I'm able to retrieve the almost 500hp just from that build alone. To get that extra 200 hp I'm looking for would you consider the supercharger? Turbocharged? Or pro charger? I was looking into the 671, and to me it looks like those are the $2k to $3k range much better than then newer super chargers, however, it looks like the 671 are on built for carbureted engines? Otherwise if there was a way to get a 671 to work with my build and the EFI I'd be happy with one of those for the price! Just not sure which to go with. Again on a budget so I know it's harder to get that hp! Could I just get a 572 crate long block and it'll go right in or a crap ton of mods for a bigblock? Would love to go with that instead. Lol Here's what I did custom to the headlights! They're RGB oracle lighting, will be doing the fog lamps as well soon

How do I go about eliminating MDS to play nice with a large Cam? I've read about 100hp cam upgrades on these 3rd gens, and curious because from factory just a large cam can get a stock 5.7 to almost 450hp? But with bored and stroked 392 with port and polished heads and full catback how it can't make at least 600hp? But then again I'm not a mechanic! Lmao

Thank you fellas! I'll be sure to post a few more custom pics! I've done a lot of custom work including custom interior and I eve baked the headlights and installed some halo Oracle leds and HID conversion kit! So Dynamic as far as horsepower and torque go with what you're running and your setup in general what am I looking at? And how can I tell about the VVT? I am clueless? I would like 600 hp out of the block, cam, and heads without N/A for the time being as it'll be another year or so before I can afford the supercharger or should I just go for some top pistons and go cheaper with NoS?!

Thanks Dynamic for welcoming me to the forum, I have so many questions so I'll start simple as I am not starting the rebuild until next spring, I am wanting to do the rebuild myself and I still have yet to find machine shops in my area. I want something completely different than anyone else. As you see in my profile the look of this Aspen is unlike any other. I am big on Custom, but I still want that old school lope to this hemi. I am a bit confused on where to start. At first I wanted to rebuild the 5.7 I have considering I am about to roll over to 210,000 miles. Motor still strong. But to achieve the big rough radical idle I want like I had in my 71 SS nova 383 Stroker, I am not sure I can with the VVT. I have heard several with the 274 Comp cam @ I believe .619 which I think will be fine. I do want to make this a 392 stroker engine build. I want lots of torque considering the heavy vehicle that it is. but want a mean sounding motor. I do want to eventually place the Edelbrock super charger on this a couple years down the road so I am guessing with the bottom half to do a forged scat pack! I am on a budget but it seems that I will be saving myself around $5000 for tackling this project by myself. This will be my first build alone. I have assisted in a couple builds years ago on SB bowties. But my knowledge base has left me lol. I was told that with the stroker kit with this engine and port and polishing the heads and a thumper of a cam that I could see 650 horse at the crank with this build. I have a budget of $10K. Not sure if that mechanic was correct about the power output but he said that he has been building hemi's for years. I would like to keep the block I have and make the build as powerful as possible with just the stroker kit at first. and the cam and heads. I am also confused on what headers will fit with this setup as all I have found is Durango headers around $700 a set. I'll end this message for now as I have hit you with a lot. Thanks again!!!

Awesome! Thanks for your response! Much appreciated, I guess I thought I was posting under the 392 stroker hemi build that someone was placing into a 04 Durango

Hello, new to this forum. I defintely love the build on the Durango. I have alot of questions as I am getting ready to do a build on my 07 Chrysler Aspen 5.7 hemi. I do not know much about the hemi's and would like to know some things about this engine as I have heard conflicting info about the 2nd gen and 3rd gen. I want to make sure this forum is still active before laying out there what I am doing for my build. I will wait for a reply. Thanks a bunch!!! I'm excited to belong to a Mopar forum. Been a mopar guy since my pops and I first build 20 yrs ago. 1973 Dart Swinger, 318ci
