Like the title says, New Hemi Engines (2003 to Present): How to Build Max Performance is going to show every garage jockey, student and journeyman mechanic how to maximize third-generation hemi engine performance. This book takes even the most complicated Hemi project and lays it out in simple to follow language giving everyone the opportunity to manage production intake manifolds, air/fuel ratios, EFI systems, oil paths, pumps, pans and filters, ring and piston prep, rocker arms, ratio, shafts and stands, valve springs, engine swaps and much, much more.
Knowing how to maximize third-generation hemi engine performance includes understanding the complete ignition system: spark plugs, switches, ECM, coils, wiring, starter, battery, ground straps and sensors, and how the computer reacts to all of them. It's about knowing and choosing FAST ignition kits and AEM programmable ECMs. It includes instructions for using your personal PC devices to change the fuel and spark maps on your hemi. This book is a workshop for mufflers, bearings, connecting rods, exhaust gaskets and pipes, and managing compression ratios. It also features extensive coverage of aftermarket superchargers and installation.

Used in popular Chrysler vehicles like the Ram, Charger and Challenger, these engines are known for power and stamina. They produce no less than one horsepower per cubic inch and only improved in performance since the 2003 launch. With displacements of 5.7, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.4 liters, the auto maker continues to improve upon an already reliable entity. After adding the Demon and Hellcat 6.2 liter supercharged engines to the production, Chrysler generates the most powerful production engines ever with, respectively, horsepower of 840 and 707.
Yet, for all its complexity and power, you can use this maximize third-generation hemi engine performance tome to modify and port these engines, enhancing characteristics and potential throughout. New Hemi Engines (2003 to Present): How to Build Max Performance should be on the shelf of every Hemi owner.
