Your math isn't correct, adding a gain to a flywheel number to come up with what? Come on. And that 508 rwhp and 618 ft-lbs SAE was made on a tuned 9 psi turbo kit with an engine that was 100% otherwise stock. Using your math that would be 578 hp and nearly 700 ft-lbs...but I know better.

How do you go from rearends to 6.0L diesels? There are recalls and TSB's on every vehicle but I've never seen new-in-the-box rear axle assemblies stacked up in a dumpster. That pic was posted on these forums somewhere...

Dodges are good on paper, and it ends there. Too many restrictions with the engine management system to push them as far as they could be (now why does that sound familiar?). They don't have the aftermarket like GM and Ford though and as such I haven't seen a DCX Hemi Ram make 800+rwhp/900+lb-ft with ANY combination of parts. I've seen Ford and GM trucks make those numbers though.

Gee...I've owned GM, Dodge, Chevy, Nissan, Toyota, and Ford and all have had their pros and cons. I can say the Ford has not had a problem that I didn't cause though and it's put up with plenty of abuse. I'm happy with what I buy just as you are.
