acceleration 0-60

Does anyone know what the acceleration is with the HEMI engine?

I'm getting 7.0-7.5 0-60's depending on how I launch.

Do you know the factory estimates

I've never seen factory estimates. Besides my own numbers, all I've seen are what the mags say. The magazines numbers don't even come close to mine. Go figure.

With the airraid intake as my only mod, I'm getting 0-60 in 7.01 to 7.2, and 1/4 mile in 15.35 to 15.75, depending on launch. Amazingly, I get the best times without holding the brake, and allowing the thing to shift itself. The worst time I got was holding the brake and manually shifting about 5700rpm. The 15.35 to 15.4 e.t. is consistent when letting her shift for herself. (2004 Hemi Durango with trailer package)

What gears do you have in it? I'm sure 3.92's are the quicker of the two ratios.

I've got the 3.55 rear end.

Stock HEMI 3.92s. g-tech easily gets 7 and sometimes better.

If it weren't for torque managerment (cutting power between shifts), it would be a lot faster. This is why the D* hemi is so fast when you floor it and it only has to downshift once.

I do believe motor trend claimed the HEMI D, to go from 0-60 in 7.9/8.0 seconds. Everyone seems to be getting better numbers.

No magazine has tested a D* HEMI with 3.92s. I drove both. I don't tow anything but wanted the gears and the gears always came with the tow package. The one with the gears had way more off the line grunt, so I had to go with that. Our gas mileage sucks real bad. We average 15.5 with 80% freeway driving. Of course my wife drives 75 to 80 everywhere.

Car and Driver tested a D with the Hemi and 3.92s in Apr'04 - FYI 0-60 was 7.2 sec I believe.

I'd get control of your wife to save a few bucks!! - hide the keys

15.5mpg ain't that bad. I'm lucky to see 14+mpg with the 360.

Wow, I would be really happy with 15.5. I have the 4.7 and I'm only getting 11mpg. I thought it was my lead foot. I have driven like me grandma, still the same. This is in town mpg, I haven't been on a long enough drive to figure hwy.

Unlike quite a few people these days that speed up for red lights, I coast, saving lots of gas in the process. First couple tanks I did drive it harder than I should have, and I got 10.5mpg! Tsk tsk tsk.

i'm gettin about 22mpg my 04' D...

My D. has the 3.91 due to the tow package. We recently went 2,400 miles from Louisiana to Texas to Kansas, driving about 75 mph (average speed, including gas stops) and averaged 20.4 mpg, with Airraid filter and the rubber shroud removed from the front of the stock air intake scoop. I think the rubber shield in front of the intake scoop is to stop birds, water and cool air from being sucked into the intake. I was really satisfied with 20.4 on the highway, and even with a week of city driving our computer registered exactly 20.0 mpg overall. We drove fast and passed slower traffic on some two lane roads. This baby has a great passing gear, as well as a 7 second 0 to 60, and 15.3 quarter mile e.t. at 92+mph. Not bad for a heavy s.u.v. Towing my old '61 Chrysler 300G I got 13.1 mpg at 65 to 67 mph. I'm satisfied with that, too. Now to add my Jetchip.....

I got a Gtech of 6.93sec 0-60 with the Airaid (tube only), removed rubber, and the tranny in "Tow" mode which seems to hold the shift longer.

If I have the tow package, does that mean I have 3.92 gearing as well?
And does it make much of a difference taking off the rubber from the intake tube as far as airflow? I already have an Airaid CAI.

3.92 is seperate from the tow package.

Thanks Dodgeatheart, a quick reply that was.
