If they put the 8sp behind the Hemi, I'd be concerned. [edit] But hey, with the 5yr 100K warranty, give it a whirl...
They are working on it, but so far the hemi keeps tearing the 8speed apart. But honestly, a 300hp/tq motor with an 8speed auto. Why would you need a hemi? If you need more power than that id just go for the cummins.
