nice talking to you. Watch out for those speed bumps

V6 to V8 is no comparison. V8 even with lower HP will alway have more torque then a V6. Big block V8 even more torque and V10 even more.

i.e. 1998 Dodge Ram 5.2(318 ) 230hp / 300fps will outrun the Jeep especially pulling uphill.
I.e. 1998 Dodge Ram 8L V10 310hp / 450fps torque. Will pull a house with 3.73 gears and 35s.

Can you imagine what the Eco Diesel will be like in a Wrangler. 240hp / 420fps torque.

The OP is obviously a know it all and has resorted to kid behavior name calling. In other words, he doesn't deserve further though out information. Time to move on, nothing to see here. Let douche bags be douche bags.

you might want to go back and read. It wasn't till post 39 that personal attacks started and it wasn't me. Before that this post was going just fine and now the name calling is being continued by you.

yup that's why I always wondered why jeep didn't use a different motor. The 5.7 hemi would be a good one. More power all around and just as good fuel economy. My guess is there kind of Leary the rest of the jeep wont hold up to it and warrantee claims would increase. But I doubt there would have been many more then they got with that 3.8 motor. They could even detune that 5.7 and have a great setup. How many here wouldn't have paid an extra grand or two for a hemi when they bought there jeep?That diesel you are talking about might be our best bet at something really good in a jeep. To late for me though this 15 will have to last me at least 10 years and paying for a conversion isn't in the cards

Was it where I offered to help you understand how the burden of proof concept works, or...?
I'm also available for tutoring in EFL (English as a First Language)

I'm helpful like that.
Ignoring the abhorrent content that surrounded this; an extra "grand or two"? Have you looked at the price point between a V6 Charger and a Hemi? You'd be stuck for 20 years covering the difference.

just more personal attacks. Maybe you can school us in that too. That you seem to be REAL good at.

I was thinking as a factory option it would be closer to $10k additional, as I'm confident that a significant number of other drive train parts would need upgraded as well. Also it would carry the SRT badge likely, thats another $2k for the elblem lol.

actually a rubicon already has a pretty substantial drivetrain and nothing would need to be upgraded to take the 350 hp a 5.7 hemi puts out. Lots of guys drop more substantial hemis and ls motor into jks. I guess I would look at the cost of going from a ram 6cyl to a hemi. It should be similar in cost. The 5.7 is not a srt motor. Its the 6.1 and 426 motors that carry the srt badge.

Still waiting for a burnout competition.

I floored my 2012 JKU yesterday and the highest my HP showed on my OBDII was 194hp....
