Just read this at allpar.com. Anyone heard anything else about this?

"A 6.4 liter Hemi was shown at SEMA, matching the historic 392 cid; expect a production version! You can buy a crate version for racing, with over 500 horsepower. The production version’s horsepower rating is expected to be no more than 500 hp - 470 is what we expect. This would most likely replace the 6.1 Hemi, and would be used only in SRT models."

The 2006 model is rumored to contain a 6.4 500hp engine. And that rumor has come from about the most reliable source Jeep owners have.

I think Ge2 means the 2009 model.

Hmmmm... seems like that rating is falling. I heard it would be "well over 500"

Only numbers I have seen at all was 470 was the 'assumption' then they said they surpassed it and were able to get 500.
