I guess a more pointed direction of learning would be it’s application in performance applications. It seems like the valve layout would make it really conducive and receptive to modifications, but at a glance it seems like the LS2/LS3/LT1 are largely chosen over the 5.7/6.2/6.4 HEMIs in performance applications. And the aftermarket seems to reflect that too.

But in general I’d just like to learn about why Chrysler has continued to stick with the hemi design, and delve deeper into its dynamics.
