[QUOTE="365 Saleen, post: 16888326, member: 201889"] Under 5,000 rpm the 440 was a much better performer, which so happens to be the majority of street driving. Get the rev's over 5K and the Hemi would start pulling away. The 440 had a LOT more bottom end torque while the Hemi needed a lot more gear in the rear to get going. The 440 had cylinder heads that were more suited for a healthy small block, thus the big low rpm torque numbers, and lack of high rpm power, while the Hemi's huge heads needed rpm to start taking advantage of all of that extra flow potential.
