Well thanks to John (sinistr) I'm on my way to upgrading to a 6.1L cam in my 5.7 Hemi on  budget build.  John picked up a cam from a SRT Charger which was in good shape and we made the deal last night, along with the 6.1 intake & exhaust pushrods, 8 roller lifters & 2 retainers.  Since I'm tight with $$$'s with the little guys at home, the 6.1 upgrade is going to save me more than several hundered $'s than going with a stage 1 aftermarket cam.

Next I'm going to pick up a Crower Timing Chain, 6.1 valve springs, a 6.1 oil pump, & catch can along with any gaskets that may need replacing.  I gotta credit John on his workmanship and great knowledge of the engine internals in helping me with this project.

Also, thinking of getting the magnaflow mid-pipes w/ hi-flow cats and dynomax bullet mufflers.  Love they way they sound on your car John!  Anyways, I'll be collecting the parts and then will have them installed, with a tune, hopefully by July. Then, by August maybe I'll have the red monster out on the track

I'll keep you guys updated.

Thanks Marko. I can't wait to see how much faster your will be, I think you'll be smiling for days! If I see any other parts that you will need at a decent price, I'll let you know.

You must keep us informed looks like someone is going to have a sleeper very nice . Good luck with the car and remember save the speed for the track.

Are you going to replace the fuel rails?

SERIES 5 wrote  Orangepeel815 wrote   Are you going to replace the fuel rails? Speaking of fuel rails, I have a set of brand new in the box billet fuel rails by CPR (Creative Performance Racing). I would love to put these on my Hemi but I can't mess with the Hurst build, It will degrade the car. These are some really nice machined rails with some racey looking engraving. The MSRP is $280. I will entertain any offer over $150 but the rails will ultimately go to the highest bidder. I will donate half of what I get for the rails to our Club so lets be generous with your bidding because it will go toward our club's development. Here is a link to CPR's website. for these rails. There's lots of pictures and additional performance info for these rails and other products on their website. It looks like they sell quite a few items for the 5.7 and 6.1 Hemi bullets. Creative Performance Racing For reference here is a link to a company that sells these rails for $240 a pair. lethalperformance

I put my bid in for $150.00

Hey Marko You motivated me to start buying my upgrades for the engine now so I can put them on in the winter.  Now I have to work on a budget on what I want and what I need. I am going to try and see Josh before chrysler nats for my tune. good luck with everything.
