Default Operation: Striped A$$ Ape

Well I finaly cut back on all my overtime and got a chance to install some parts this weekend. I installed the F.I. Airgap, 1.7 roller rockers, new brass dist and cap, MSD 8.5's, Autolite 23's, Fastman T.B., Mopar valve covers, and new O2 sensors along with the hughes extra large air filter

Just took it for a spin, and DAMN what a difference!!! I guess I need to look into the SCT now.

One Minor problem, I just noticed my pump seal leaking out of my brand new Mega Viper. Oh well, cant have it all. Now if I can only have time to drive it instead of the company rig...

I would love to know how the heck you got in there to swap out your distributor cap. On my 5.2 it is so buried behind the plenum, and under the cowl that I can barely see it. I wonder how much stuff needs to come out to change that out? Pics would be great.

I notice a lot of you Ram guys are running the Airgap while most of us Dakota guys are rocking the M1.. Are there any dyno numbers floating around comparing the 2?

And yeah, the 1.7 RRs and manifold make a pretty good difference, huh?
