Just curious User2006but what kind of power gain did you get from the 52mm with those mods? My stock tb was 50.53mm at the base & a lil over 51mm at the top. This friday i'm running my truck at the track a few times with the stock tb & then a few times with the 53mm so i will let you know i 53mm is too much with my surrent setup.
dont have it installed yet.. its one of my next mods.. this month i should be getting a Moapr PCM, and a 52mm TB installed..

I felt a what i would consider about 18-20 hp with my Mopar PCM, it changed my shift points, & took out the top speed limiter. I've had my truck to 147mph and it was still pulling (that was before the M1 intake). Dan (thefastman) says that he can have yours done by B&M for the M1 for $400. For the power difference they say it gives you, that extra $40 is worth it. KRCperformance dyno'd out the Mopar PCM on a truck with & without it and found a gain of 0.1hp & 28ft/lbs of torque. Could be true, but i'm satisfied with mine.

i dont like how B&G doesnt take out the limiter.. they just raise it.. i have a friend in a 98GT Mustang that can go 140++ stock PCM.. if im going to pay 400$ for somthing, i want it to be what i want not what they think is right...

i found a Mopar PCM for 150 so im going to get that for now.

Well, you don't exactly buy a dakota r/t for the gas mileage, but its nice to try & get a little bit. I didn't know that B&G wouldn't remove the limiter completely but that is an awesome deal on the Mopar PCM anyway, especially being that they have been discontinued (to my knowledge). Try putting some magnets around your fuel line, i went from 13.2mpg to 15.1mpg after 2 gas tanks.

the magnets are supposed to "rearrange the fuel atoms".... umm, if you ask me my opinion as a diesel technician *been a mechanic since i was 13* thats a load of bs and it's just a scam

They are still being made.. just cost about 400$ Retail depending on where you get them.. 320 was the cheapest i saw..

so theoretically . . . if i wanted to try it could i use a couple of hard drive magnets, and what would i do, put one magnet on each side of the fuel line, and where along the fuel line are these supposed to go???? i might try it if those magnets are strong enough you know just for laughs and to see how it works(if it works)
