The Sport package had absolutely nothing to do with performance, it was just an appearance package. So how does an appearance package get you 5 more HP? It doesn't.

Second of all, the 1994-2001 Dodge Rams did not use the LA V10.

When you Google and quote something, please double check your sources.

These are not 100% guaranteed, but these should be pretty darn close. My original numbers came from allpar.com, and I find many places that just quote the original 1994 numbers.

Changes I made to your list are in bold.

1994-2001 3.9 L (239 cu in) Magnum V6 175 hp
1994-1996 5.2 L (318 cu in) Magnum V8 220 hp
1997-2001 5.2 L (318 cu in) Magnum V8 230 hp
1994-1996 5.9 L (360 cu in) Magnum V8 230 hp
1997-1998 5.9 L (360 cu in) Magnum V8 245 hp
1999-2001 5.9 L (360 cu in) Magnum V8 250 hp
1994-1999 8.0 L (488 cu in) Magnum V10 300 hp
2000-2001 8.0 L (488 cu in) Magnum V10 310 hp

Jason,

Had you of said, "I think there is more accurate information at allpar.com, here it is" or something to that effect, i think this would have ended a whole lot differently and, IMO, a lot better.

Jason is right. There were several changes made to the Magnum line-up as well as the Cummins engines over the years. All I know for sure is my 99 318 is 230hp and 300 lb-ft.

I said the same thing to him privately, so let's just move on. I edited your post since the quote has been deleted.
