    "Dodge power" for sure. Hemi....... Not really
    What's not hemi enough about it for you? Similar combustion chamber, valvetrain layout, plug(s) location.

    Nope. Close but no cigar.

    I completely respect the power you guys (Sean) get outta these rides. But similar isnt.

    "Hemi" and "semi hemi" are 2 different tings

    Own what your doing. Don't rely on the past.

    And yes. All the ford branding is annoying too.

    They all ran out of ideas.

    The GT hasn't stopped since 82 so it kinda gets a bypass, Z28 Been rolling for years, dodge disappeared for years. So I get they are trying and succeeding in the name recognition play.

    Did I rip on anything? Nope.

    Plastic covers are beyond lame. First thing I do is chuck them. Id rather see what's making the power.

    Why hide it? Is it really that ugly? Engineers could not lay it out to be appealing to the eye with out $8 injection molded covers?

    I've unfortunately had to spend a ton of time with the Gen 2 hemi drawings (the ones that roll out 40+ feet) and the it's clear they are brethren. There is no such thing as an ideal "hemispherical" combustion chamber so I don't understand that argument. I look to things that make the engine what it is like valvetrain layout, valve angles, piston design, etc as what makes something similar or dissimilar versus getting hung up on plastic doilies as the engineers call them (which is obviously not a term of endearment).

    You need to stand up! Tell the powers that be

    No more plastic covers!!!!


    The fact we have to have a discussion about it being a hemi is reason enough to me that it's not. But I'm no one. I don't even own a dodge.

    I don't think we'd be having the discussion if you hadn't said it's not really a hemi. I think everyone else including the engineer that works on them is convinced it is a hemi. With all due respect.

    Is it just because the chamber isn't domed as high? So it's not a whole half?

    The covers aren't just for looks. They reduce the injector noise
    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
