Ok, I have been talking with friends about the differences between the 318, and the 360 (I have a 318 in my ram, friend has a 360 in his RT durango). I have been told that the torque curve on the 360 is MUCH better, even though, it is only 15 more HP. i know from riding in the durango (3.90 gears and 31ish" tires) and riding in my ram (3.55 gears and 33" tires) that the durango has much more power. I just want to see hard evidence about the torque curves to see exactally how I am loosing power.. besides being underpowered. Plus, it wil help me decide if I want 4.10 or 4.56 gears. So, if anyone has these charts, or know where they are, could you post them? I really want to see them. Thanks. Garrett

the charts? dont know what your talking about but if you want to discuss mopar engines, e-mail richard eherenberg at www.moparaction.com the guy is a mopar know it all and would be able to tell you how much more torque a 360 makes. i can tell you it makes the difference. 360 has a much longer stroke than a 318 and that has alot to do with torque. e-mail the guy, he knows. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
