Get a 6.1. The 5.7 is a balance between power and economy. None of the internal parts are performance oriented, so you gotta swap EVERYTHING out to make power. Heads, cam, headers, intake, etc. It's all gotta be upgraded for airflow. The 6.1 was designed to kick ass. Everything in that motor was made for airflow. The heads, cam, and intake manifold are excellent out of the box. It even comes with stock shorty headers. Mine is a 100% stock motor with a blower on it. It makes 5.5psi and 507whp.

Good stuff. So much more available for the 5.7s. You can beef up the internals of the short block eagle 5.7s and push it even more also. I'll be there real soon.
350s as a WHOLE are very iconic, and for good reason. The fact that it's a HEMI makes it even better; the aged, tried and true powerhouse, is this American staple 🔥.

The problem is this stuff isn’t cheap. Depending on what power you’re looking for you’re better off buying a scat or cat. The 5.7 is just for people who enjoy custom builds ❤
Did you not watch the whole video? Basically he's saying there's really no point in buying a scatpack because the engine is weak and will break. You will spend even more money on the 6.4 to get it strong enough to be boosted safely. Either go with a hellcat engine, or go with the 5.7 hemi. Leave the scatpack engine alone.
It just has a lower compression ratio stock.... I love how that 5.7 hemi was in heavy duty trucks. Day one was a monster... Thinking about the same power as an l q9
The ring lands on 6.4’s are to tight; the extra heat from boost will cause them to overheat, and once they overheat they will pop rings & pistons. That awesome that he mentioned Richard Holdener & MMX. MMX built my 394Ci 6.4l stroker in my truck💪🏻. Byron at MMX is the man!
I been tryna tell people this ages but no one listens. Dodge restricted the 5.7l and squeezed the 6.4l for all it's got. In reality it's 345 vs 392, the gap is not that big it's .7l. That's like comparing a honda b18 and a k24 The stock hp gap is not that big and those are dohc engines.
the scat pack 392 was made to be a boost off of the original 5.7 380 HP product. It (392) does not do well with higher RPM (past 6200) applications. The best option that I saw was a 6.1L off of a early Jeep Grand Cherokee (2008-2010) SRT that had simply a blower and injectors on it - made 600/600 (HP/TQ) and couldn't keep transfer cases and transmissions since the original 5 speed trans they had on those was weak..... As some of the earlier commenters also said - the early hemi (before MDS) was basically crippled - it could make 500 HP stock with the correct programming however to make it more reliable and streetable they "detuned" it to the 350 levels that you saw in stock form. Also isn't it interesting that it only had a compression ratio of 9.6:1 stock (ASKING FOR BOOST)......
Or to make it cheaper/easier, go ahead and get a 5.7 out of an 09-current hemi since they already have eagle heads. Trust me you can find them like candy.
@@erikbergstrom258 that’s easily fixed besides it’d take over 500 hp and some serious driving to break either one. Then supercharge or turbocharge and your good to go
Couldn’t be happier with my 2007 Daytona charger with the 5.7, I’ve only done cams and heads and at 325,000 miles on it it’s still smooth and clean. It’s been babied tho
Just picked up my 2022 Dodge Charger RT It comes with super track pack not sure if it makes a difference .I’m new to the HEMI life , been having a mopar car as I got my 2015 Chrysler 300 . Nice video
Agreed. They are the most cost affective to modify if you so choose. They also put out very good horsepower for the price they go for. In the 2500/3500 trucks specifically, I love the 5.7 hemi because it doesn’t have MDS, so it’s always a straight V8. As where the 6.4 hemi in the trucks have mds.
@@michaellarrick8881 “I love the 5.7 hemi because it doesn’t have mds so it’s always a straight v8” that statement implies you’re talking about 5.7 hemis as a whole not one specific model. But just sharing knowledge my friend it’s nothing major to debate about
Bro your like a car doctor. If I had extra bread I'd hire you just to get what I need. I know cars but damn I didn't know about these hemis like that. Most def need u to come up with a spread sheet for 2 cars I'm looking Into purchasing. Your the shit bro keep these videos coming
I have a 2019 charger RT I thought about doing a v10 viper swap but idk. If I decide to keep the 5.7 I'm definitely going with a whipple supercharger & alot of hellcat parts 🤣 E85 & Slicks on the back. Tbh.. but rn I'm saving & in the middle of doing my awd k24 swap in my 2001 saturn sc2
built a awd police charger with a 5.7 and xs turbo made 780 awhp. Sold it and now building an 02 tahoe with a 6.0 turbo 4x4 leveled on 35s. Gonna be wild. hemi or ls both reliable with some modifications.
From the standpoint that you can buy a 5.7 for less than a 6.4 and throw a supercharger onto it and have more HP than a 6.4 for less money, yeah, its better. If you want to go NA and try to match the 6.4 in power, not so much. Unfortunately the 5.7 doesn't handle boost as well as others though. So if you want to go for 4-didgit HP numbers, you're going to have to build the shit out of your engine to get there without it blowing up.
The problem is you have to disassemble the block and put new piston rings. That’s the flaw in the early hemis. At this point there’s no reason for me to tear apart the block unless it takes a dump on me. So I’m okay with my stock 345HP.
I like mine full of bullet holes from auction ... with a nice large turbo with good valve train good set of heads proper Bottem end . The sky is the limit ... I like my 2006 charger the most they had the best body lines . And it Rippppps .
There is a 6.1 here in my town at the local junkyard for $400. It’s in a wrecked SRT Magnum. I’m thinking about buying it my Magnum has the 5.7 in it. The 6.1 would be a nice upgrade huh?
@@mr84ttop34 You can get stroker kits for 6.1s up to 426. Someone else said it, the 6.1 is obsolete, but it's also horribly slept on. You still want to check cams and lifters, but that engine was nasty when it came out.
When I was a kid I convinced my midlife crisis grandad to buy a 2005 ruby red magnum rt (but not the r/t two different trims). He put throttle body spacers, borla cat backs, and a cold air intake and a chip and for 2005 it was damn near Corvette quick
These 5.7 hemi engines are notorious for lifters seizing up due to oil starvation. Ultimately causing the camshaft lobes to have grooves in them. The reason for oil starvation is due to poor engineering by Dodge/Fiat. The camshaft sits to high inside the engine for oil to reach, especially during idle.
You nailed it. Mostly caused by engine idle. I've had a 2012 Ram HEMI with over 107,000 miles and it didn't tick. My 2017 Sport with 32,000 and over 150 idle hours ticks every time on start
You save me alot of time an money with this message I brought a V6 2011 challenger just to play with as a stree car I was goin to get hellcat motor put in it an 😂 sneak on someone at the light but Im going to swap it for a 5.7 now
I had a 5.7 hemi for just under 3 years, at about 35000 miles one of the pistons in the cylinders that turn off during highway driving seized up and blew up the cylinder. Ram said they would honor the warranty and fix it free of charge. Long story short I now have a Ram with the 3.6 Pentastar V6 and I've had it now for about 6 years and I haven't had one single problem with it. I must've got one the bad batch Hemis made in Mexico.
Not going to lie though. I really like that. 4.7 l power tech engine kind of slept on imagine they just made it bigger instead of making a 5.7 hemi and we had a single overhead cam I've seen those 4.7 l with lots of mileage. My friend has one with 310,000 mi in a Dakota... He is a mechanic and it also was on its second transmission
@@gullahgeechee2699 I saw that video of the tree crash, that wasn't a modified 5.7 hemi.( It didn't have the power !). When I say potential, I'm talking about modified )
I’d take my 6.4 any day , I loved my 5.7 but it just wasn’t there if you want to dump 10k+ into the 5.7 just to make it “ as fast a 6.4 “ no point in my opinion I’ve seen plenty of 6.4 run just fine with boost
LMFAO 😅 won't take 10k to make it what a 6.4 is. If you put 7k into a 6.4 and 7 into a 5.7 you have a 5.7 that will be equal if not better and more reliable lmfao 😅 you missed the point of your weak drivetrain.
@@leopapio683 da hell did you do to get the T case to blow ?? 😬 im almost to 200k and it hasnt been stock for 135k. Granted its starting to act out but its still takin 472 TQ, barely though. I beat the shit outta this poor whale 🤣
Great info. I wanna find an old police intereptor Charger and slap a supercharger on it, but I'm tempted to do my 5.7 Hemi 4x4, now, with the hellcat upgrade.
What’s up with the 6.1 Hemi? Would that be easier to build power compared to the 5.7? I feel like the 6.1 would see better power increases on low boost.
The 6.1 is an absolute monster when treated right!!!!!! I had a stroked 5.7 that started knocking reeeaaallyyy bad so I’m currently now looking for a 6.1 to throw in there with a 270 comp cam, longtube kooks headers, throttle body spacer, tune & some good ol 305s, possibly 315s in the rear!!!
I have a 5.7 RT just brought it, its a 2017 only had 26,000 miles on it. I love it. The problem with these dodge’s is everybody wants to buy one and everybody wants to go fast but these dudes can barely drive a Ford. They say with great power comes great responsibility, with a Dodge comes great responsibility, that’s why these hellcats and scat packs and demons you see on the back of a trailer heading to the shop because they all smashed up. all I need to do is just get in front of a bunch of slow knuckleheads. I ain’t trying to race Nobody, not trying to smash my car and I’m not trying to get my insurance rate to go through the roof or my license taken.
My man speaking the truth. That's how it always is ...they make it right the first time and don't take that package to the limit and drop it for the next new idea that ain't nothin special. I know 6.4 and 5.7 are very similar but as this guy said the differences are what's gonna stand up to that extra hp.

Well my brother, I had a 2006 R/T dodge magnum. I kept the oil changes up to date and kept all the maintenance together. I blown 2 motors in a 3 year span. Blown head gasket and the other time a blown heater coil I believe. So off experience, The car didn’t like me! But keep doing good work bro, giving good info and positive energy!✊🏾
I seen these engines get 250k+ miles without an issue.
Your right That car didn’t like you.
I have similar story about the g body Buick Regal

Thank you. I’ve been wanting to know what I could do with my 5.7 without doing an engine swap.
I just gotta say thank you. Everybody scoffs at the 5.7 but it's not always about displacement. Sometimes it's about what survived the most boost.
Thank you for using your voice and spreading this knowledge to the masses, I always said the 5.7 was superior lol
I been preaching this since high school everybody thought my 300 wasn't stock. I just let em think behind me in the dust
I agree. So much untapped potential. Also, forged internals would give you insurance for reliable boost applications.
I find the 5.7 is a lot alike gms vortecs. Oil pump on the front, pushrod engine everything real easy to access. Both engines are real similar that’s what I like about the hemi and the vortecs.
Finally I heard complaints to 5.7 hemi 🤣🤣 everyone since 6.4 came was modifying it and ignoring 5.7
I’m getting a 2020 grand Cherokee with the 5.7 hemi and man can’t wait to build it up
This stuff is pretty informational makes more sense then spending almost one hundred k on a car that won’t last long either way, props to you man.
Good stuff. So much more available for the 5.7s. You can beef up the internals of the short block eagle 5.7s and push it even more also. I'll be there real soon.
I got a 5.7 in my 2021 Durango … thanks for giving me some confidence against the SRT durangos 😂
350s as a WHOLE are very iconic, and for good reason. The fact that it's a HEMI makes it even better; the aged, tried and true powerhouse, is this American staple 🔥.

I mess with your content tough anyone watching these videos can tell you got the passion in the subject matter
That’s crazy I was dead about to ask you to speak on the 5.7
I’m in the process of building my 5.7
I love the body style of the old srt8 chargers, if I had money that would be one of my project cars and this would be a reference video for me lol
The problem is this stuff isn’t cheap. Depending on what power you’re looking for you’re better off buying a scat or cat. The 5.7 is just for people who enjoy custom builds ❤
Did you not watch the whole video? Basically he's saying there's really no point in buying a scatpack because the engine is weak and will break. You will spend even more money on the 6.4 to get it strong enough to be boosted safely. Either go with a hellcat engine, or go with the 5.7 hemi. Leave the scatpack engine alone.
@@Eastsidegeorgiaboy it always struck me as a boring big block gasser truck engine
Yea lemme just go spend 80k on a cat 🤦🏽♂️ building a 5.7 is WAY cheaper
It just has a lower compression ratio stock.... I love how that 5.7 hemi was in heavy duty trucks. Day one was a monster... Thinking about the same power as an l q9
I still like the exhaust notes of my 6.4 over the 5.7, especially at 4k RPM!
Dam imma try this on my 03 DODGE RAM HEMI 5.7 then thxs king 👑💯
I used to wonder why people didn't boost the 6.4, or why engines blow up in general. Now I know why lol some power trains can't handle the boost
The ring lands on 6.4’s are to tight; the extra heat from boost will cause them to overheat, and once they overheat they will pop rings & pistons.
That awesome that he mentioned Richard Holdener & MMX.
MMX built my 394Ci 6.4l stroker in my truck💪🏻. Byron at MMX is the man!

No matter what you have to take care of hemisphere engine and give it lots of love cause it will love you more back to
I been tryna tell people this ages but no one listens.
Dodge restricted the 5.7l and squeezed the 6.4l for all it's got. In reality it's 345 vs 392, the gap is not that big it's .7l. That's like comparing a honda b18 and a k24
The stock hp gap is not that big and those are dohc engines.
Not sure I got a race tune headers and intake I’m making 565-570 crank 504whp/523 torgue
@@brandonUwanawich954 5.7?
@@Tachyon836 no way lol 6.4
the scat pack 392 was made to be a boost off of the original 5.7 380 HP product. It (392) does not do well with higher RPM (past 6200) applications.
The best option that I saw was a 6.1L off of a early Jeep Grand Cherokee (2008-2010) SRT that had simply a blower and injectors on it - made 600/600 (HP/TQ) and couldn't keep transfer cases and transmissions since the original 5 speed trans they had on those was weak.....
As some of the earlier commenters also said - the early hemi (before MDS) was basically crippled - it could make 500 HP stock with the correct programming however to make it more reliable and streetable they "detuned" it to the 350 levels that you saw in stock form. Also isn't it interesting that it only had a compression ratio of 9.6:1 stock (ASKING FOR BOOST)......
Were early hemis blowing transmissions like nothing ??
Or to make it cheaper/easier, go ahead and get a 5.7 out of an 09-current hemi since they already have eagle heads. Trust me you can find them like candy.
if i remember correctly the crank is or rods or something is weaker in the new ones
@@erikbergstrom258 that’s easily fixed besides it’d take over 500 hp and some serious driving to break either one. Then supercharge or turbocharge and your good to go
Couldn’t be happier with my 2007 Daytona charger with the 5.7, I’ve only done cams and heads and at 325,000 miles on it it’s still smooth and clean. It’s been babied tho

Awesome I got one as well bro if u need answers to any questions lmk
I know it ain’t no Chevy motor, but it’s nice to see these 5.7s get some love.
Agreed. They are the most cost affective to modify if you so choose. They also put out very good horsepower for the price they go for. In the 2500/3500 trucks specifically, I love the 5.7 hemi because it doesn’t have MDS, so it’s always a straight V8. As where the 6.4 hemi in the trucks have mds.

I still got the 5.7 in mine running low 10s and high 9 in boost weather. Posted a few if y’all wanna see what a built 5.7 will do
Just watched a couple of em, that thing is quick as hell lol. Sounds nice too.
He drops these at the perfect time
From the standpoint that you can buy a 5.7 for less than a 6.4 and throw a supercharger onto it and have more HP than a 6.4 for less money, yeah, its better. If you want to go NA and try to match the 6.4 in power, not so much. Unfortunately the 5.7 doesn't handle boost as well as others though. So if you want to go for 4-didgit HP numbers, you're going to have to build the shit out of your engine to get there without it blowing up.
The problem is you have to disassemble the block and put new piston rings. That’s the flaw in the early hemis. At this point there’s no reason for me to tear apart the block unless it takes a dump on me. So I’m okay with my stock 345HP.
Can you do a video on the newer model hemi’s? I have a 2019 hemi and Want to know what all it’s capable of.
I like mine full of bullet holes from auction ... with a nice large turbo with good valve train good set of heads proper Bottem end . The sky is the limit ... I like my 2006 charger the most they had the best body lines . And it Rippppps .

There is a 6.1 here in my town at the local junkyard for $400. It’s in a wrecked SRT Magnum. I’m thinking about buying it my Magnum has the 5.7 in it. The 6.1 would be a nice upgrade huh?
@@mr84ttop34 You can get stroker kits for 6.1s up to 426. Someone else said it, the 6.1 is obsolete, but it's also horribly slept on. You still want to check cams and lifters, but that engine was nasty when it came out.
When I was a kid I convinced my midlife crisis grandad to buy a 2005 ruby red magnum rt (but not the r/t two different trims). He put throttle body spacers, borla cat backs, and a cold air intake and a chip and for 2005 it was damn near Corvette quick
These 5.7 hemi engines are notorious for lifters seizing up due to oil starvation. Ultimately causing the camshaft lobes to have grooves in them. The reason for oil starvation is due to poor engineering by Dodge/Fiat. The camshaft sits to high inside the engine for oil to reach, especially during idle.
I'm glad somebody said it .
Im waiting for my cam to go bad so I can Camm my hemi 😂😂
You nailed it. Mostly caused by engine idle. I've had a 2012 Ram HEMI with over 107,000 miles and it didn't tick. My 2017 Sport with 32,000 and over 150 idle hours ticks every time on start
@@beast_mode_4200 just cus it ticks doesn’t mean it’s the lifters and cam. Hemis are notorious for broken manifold bolts that also cause the ticking.
Don’t idle for long periods

You save me alot of time an money with this message I brought a V6 2011 challenger just to play with as a stree car I was goin to get hellcat motor put in it an 😂 sneak on someone at the light but Im going to swap it for a 5.7 now
5.7 sound the best with a good exhaust too!
I had a 5.7 hemi for just under 3 years, at about 35000 miles one of the pistons in the cylinders that turn off during highway driving seized up and blew up the cylinder. Ram said they would honor the warranty and fix it free of charge. Long story short I now have a Ram with the 3.6 Pentastar V6 and I've had it now for about 6 years and I haven't had one single problem with it. I must've got one the bad batch Hemis made in Mexico.
Not going to lie though. I really like that. 4.7 l power tech engine kind of slept on imagine they just made it bigger instead of making a 5.7 hemi and we had a single overhead cam I've seen those 4.7 l with lots of mileage. My friend has one with 310,000 mi in a Dakota... He is a mechanic and it also was on its second transmission
I needed this info fam ! I’m building a 5.7L 300C and kinda been on the fence cause I’m hearing 6.4 this and 6.4 that . I appreciate ya !

I’d take my 6.4 any day , I loved my 5.7 but it just wasn’t there if you want to dump 10k+ into the 5.7 just to make it “ as fast a 6.4 “ no point in my opinion
I’ve seen plenty of 6.4 run just fine with boost
LMFAO 😅 won't take 10k to make it what a 6.4 is. If you put 7k into a 6.4 and 7 into a 5.7 you have a 5.7 that will be equal if not better and more reliable lmfao 😅 you missed the point of your weak drivetrain.
Also you can run more boost in 5.7 than you can a 6.4 while being reliable. But yeah again you missed the point. Living breathing wojak.
yeah but at that point if you waste your money on a scat you cant do much to the motor that's all you got
