Re: \'08 Headers
I highly doubt it. sounds like the entire '08 motor is going to be very, very, very different.
but i hope so!

Vipermann,
If you look at the above thread "What's UP? Dodge didn't show it today!" there's a post with a link that gives a lot of info about the 2008 and the engine is completely different including the heads which are much improved - bigger valves and over 10 to 1 compression.

Re: \'08 Headers
I did read all that, and it still sounds to me like the head ports will be the same ... lighter valves and higher compression don't necessarily mean different heads ... they even developed some unique "cam within a cam" so the engine wouldn't have to be radically reconfigured.
I could be wrong -- that's for sure, but it would be great if some of the '08 bits worked as upgrades on the '03-'06s. If nothing else, we now have another tire option.

Re: \'08 Headers
If I was to guess, it will share the block with the 03's (plus 1mm overbore, new rods/pistons) the heads, intake, and control system will be totally new. Chances are, the VVT system is contained in the heads and controls either the lifters or rockers, not the block or actual camshaft. It could make for some really interesting combinations if that is the case.

Re: \'08 Headers
08 Heads are new. Larger valves, different valve angles, larger ports and different injector placement will require different headers. From a reliable source.
My guess, aftermarket heads for our 03 - 06 SRT's that will be very close if not exact copies of the 08 heads should be avaialable by late summer.
