Since it's a 2001, it has obdII, unlike my 94. If your looking into a tune, talk to Hemifever. He puts a tune on a tuner, and then you upload it to the computer through the obdII port. Sending in a PCM for tuning is usually only done when your PCM is not equipped with OBDII.

Christian is indeed correct.

Being as how you have an 01, your PCM is electronically reprogramable. You don't need to send it out anywhere. Chat with Hemifever, or flyin' ryan, for a tuner, and good tune for your truck. You just plug it in, push a few buttons, wait for a couple minutes while it does its thing, and you are done.

Gotcha! I filled out hemifevers contact us info on the site so we'll see if I hear back. As for the roller rockers, would these work? https://m.summitracing.com/parts/csp-s7306. I'm not really sure of the difference between stud and pedestal mount?

I've been on vacation from Friday to Monday so I've been a little slow getting on my replies out.

Any possibility of just going to a 5.9 engine? It bolts up to the same transmission.

Unfortunately, probably not in the near future. I'm pretty content with the rig so far, just looking for a little more power. Just ordered my throttle body from Fastman! After getting confirmation about the roller rockers they will be getting ordered as well! After that's all installed it'll be onto the tuner and hi flow exhaust

The magnum engines use pedestal mount rockers. You would have to do some machine work on your heads to use the ones that want studs.

Those are correct, but, unless I missed something somewhere, they can be had for cheaper. Used to be right around 300 bucks...... Might wanna dig a bit deeper, and see if you can find them for less.
