when you get the computer flashed can you do that any shop or do you have to go to the dealership or manufactor?

And ive been looking at TB to replace mine, im thinking the 53 or 55mm fastman TB, if im going to convert over to a 408 should i just get a 55mm or stick with 53mm?

Also i was thinking of replacing the cam i have now for a higher performance cam not sure what kind yet but a better one, when you replace that would it be easier to pull the front bumper and go through the front or pull the engine?

The 4.7 puts out closer to 230/295, not sure where you got your numbers.

I was talking RWHP which most dyno's I have seen with intake and exhaust are about 200/250.

Contact those guys and get their opinions. You can always buy one and upgrade later, but it'll cost more in the long run.

Twiz - makes sense, that's about a 15% loss.

I read what you said earlier, and usually for the most part, Dodges numbers are usually higher in torque, and lower in horsepower. Thats why Mopar engines make so much power, because they make more torque with lower RPM's.
