    5.7L Hemi stroker

    I found this article recently and thought our 5.7L guys would find it to be interesting and informative. Don't worry, I've had this link open and bookmarked on my phone since I found it. No Russian hackers yet, lol. Enjoy! (Reminder: avoid drooling on your phones and/or computers, as that may cause your devices to stop working properly.)

    Woot-woot! Commander with a shaker hood scoop!

    Not QUITE "it," but BING "Commander +Hood scoop," and this is the BEST of what you get.

    As much as I like a cowl induction hood, it doesn't look good with the blue flames on silver. Plus, cowl induction needs to be taller and not so subtle. The shaker hood is badass (even more so if it's a real shaker). I would love to have a shaker hood on my Hemi, if for no other reason than to pay tribute to the original.

    I was thinking the opposite LOL I thought the shaker needed to be bigger and the cowl was good.

    It doesn't look like a real shaker tbh. It's too big, too.
    To each his own. 😊

    There's a guy on the ram forums who made his own custom true shaker hood and its truly badass!!! I dont think itd look great on the XK though, cowl looks ok. Id say the best look for the XK hood would be vents on the side part thats vertical, must be flush and clean though

    While I'm not likely going to be turning my Hemi into a 392 stroker, I am looking at getting a more aggressive camshaft. Cams are relatively mysterious to me. I'd like to avoid pulling off the head and messing with the valve train, but I also want to avoid floating my valves. I've heard about guys using a Sidewinder cam and being very happy with it.
    Thoughts? Recommendations?

    With any cam application you'll want to upgrade the pushrods at least. Upgrading to the 6.1 SRT8 cam, pushrods and retainers is a common upgrade to get a good reliable boost in performance
