ok the 5.2 is a fine motor have one in one of my Rams... But the ONLY WAY your gonna get a 5.2 in anything down into the 10's or 9's is gonna be slap an 8-71 on top of it add about a 300 shot of NOS and stuff it all into a GEO that weighs 1800 pounds. Then pray to god that you dont meet him halfway down the track. 1/4 mile in mid 9's is gonna cost you about 700 or so horse in that truck. All motor (maybe if you have 2 of em)...

Up until this weekend my little 4.7 Auto could
only keep up with some stock or litely moded
R/T's. I can't drive for $hit, but I ran a 14.90 @
91.6 mph with a 2.237 60' time. So the 4.7's
are getting faster as the mods are coming
available. With Marty's cams and heads the
4.7 Auto should be in the low 14's.

I drove an 03 reg cab dakota, 2wd, 4.7 and a 5spd. DAMN. thats all I got to say. I drove a dakota rt, and this 4.7 would walk all over it. now I got a dilemma, do I buy the 5.2 or a 4.7, and when exactly did the 4.7 come out. Which motor is easier to modify to make it quick. even though the dakota I drove will walk over my ram 318 that I slightly modified (mostly cause of the 4:56 gears in it) any more info will help.

I spoke with Two Dealerships recently and both said the 5.9 will be phased out in favor of the hemi. It doesn't take a geinus to see that 100 more horses and better mileage is the way to go!

ttdakota, I think you need to take a look at Dodge's site. Also, take a look at what Dodge has plans for in the future.

ruha, comparing test driving a 5-s[eed anything to an auto anything is aples and oranges. Even with less hp to the wheels, the 5-speed will feel stronger because you can rev it high before you shift it, and usually the gearing is a little lower in a manual tranny. Granted, the 4.7 5-speed is an awsome combo and comparable to a R/T, but "walk all over" an R/T, I doubt it will do without some mods.

The only reason the 5.2 was replaced with 4.7 is so the service department could stay busy cause the 5.2 don't break.I put 30 bottles at a 150 shot through mine and motor was still strong. My friend has been through 3 4.7 in a year with a 6lb boost sc. You can't beat the 5.2. You better hope that5.9 comes out of the hole good enouggh that the 5.2 don't catch it whe n rpm's come up. 5.2 230 hp 300lbs torque and industructable.
Whats better 340 same stroke with a little more bore.
