Thumbs up

I don't make a habit of that but it's nice to know how much pull that it's got. Especially considering it should have 50 ft lbs more over a HEALTHY 5.2 and my 5.2 was far from healthy with a totally dead cylinder..so it's probably more like 75 ft lbs at least more than what I'm used to.
I am still running the factory 5.2 injectors in my 5.9 WITH a hotter cam, R/T heads, headers, M-1 intake, MP computer, and duals. There is nothing indicating a lean condition for me.

Well with the MP computer that's not too surprising.

The 5.2 and the 5.9 used the same injector, just utilize different tuning.

Also working well with the 318 PCM.
Is this the MP PCM? If so why are you running a 360 on 318 computer?

No not MP.

No good reason, it's just what I have and the donor truck was a '97 Ram so I couldn't use that PCM.
