hi, i have a 1995 dodge ram 1500 5.2L v8 magnum an im looking for some more power on my truck somebody have any idea what i need. i try some supercharger but i dont know which match on this truck.

 

well your going to learn fast that having a 95 sucks a little bit because of the OB1 computer and tuning is a littl harder..

but you can do thing like

a 50mm tb
1.7roller rockers or ( cam then tuning becomes a prob)
exhaust
under drive pullys
e fans
14x3 roller air cleaner seat up
kegger mod
good tune up plugs 8.mm wire good cap and rotor

really it all about how much $$$ you want would the spend and how much power you want

oh yea 390 stoker kit

 

You could go and buy a mopar performance computer from summit.

 

tanks for the tips. but im looking for real power. some twin screw supercharger, centrifugal turbo or something like that but im not sure if this engine i compatible whit this.

 

Hope you have lots of cash. The 318 isn't really a good platform for that level of modification.

 

Oh Pfft. None of the magnum motors have a chance in hell at running boost on stock internals. If you make a ballsy move up to forged components, your still only going to be looking at 2-3 PSI of boost and that's all. Now, that's going to be a considerable amount of increase in HP, but would it be worth the overall cost?
You want power? Look into a gear change before you do anything else. Running stock sized tires and a 4.56:1 ratio will amaze you.

If it were me, I would look into building a 408, and leaving it at that. Sheesh, these trucks are heavy, and the motor that's in them is a design left over from the 60's. Be happy they do what they do.

 

yea...if you're looking for something that goes fast in a short amount of time...you're in the wrong place lol....try japan.

 

Oh now, I wouldn't have gone that far. you want speed, buy a charger or challenger. We are Dodge enthusiasts for a reason....

 

this is true...challenger ftw.

 

first question is how much money do you want to spend?
