alright fellow 5.2 owners, i need some more help here
don't forget our transmissions suck nuts also
i have 265/75/R16s on my truck now, can't spin em, until the pavement is wet, than i can spin the hell out of em, did that in highschool leaving the parking lot when it was wet, mash the gas and spin for 200 feet
when i bought the truck 3 years ago, i'd jump on the skinny petal, and up went the one tire fire, not now, i know she needs some work though

OP- there is NO excuse that a even stock 318 cant spin a tire..... are you trying powerbraking or just takeoff? even b4 my mods i could powerbrake, now i can just stomp on it, not even sure if the plemun was blown b4 or not (115k)
i got 265 75s on it now and when it was stock....the beaner wheels were just a phase....you my friend need to get you ypipe and be done with the rattle box....not even a worry about o2 sensor junk....thats how us 95s roll
nope only 54K on it. that is possible on the diff, and i do knwo i have the lsd.
ya i know the seafoam treatment, ive ran some through the gas and oil before. just havent done the vacuum line method yet, might do that tommorrow. just gotta find the thread on the proper way to do it.
so i shouldnt go with the splitfire platinum then?

In my experience with my 5.2, plats and double plats did not agree with the 318. Choppy idle, low gas mileage, and oddly, they got hot and the gaps changed. Never did figure that one out.
IMO, your best option on the plugs would be the Champions. Seems that the magnums are kinda picky on the 3923 autolites. Some like them (mine falls into this one) and some don't. I would at least try the 3923 plugs first just for the hell of it because they are an uber cheap plug. IIRC, I paid like $10.00 for all my plugs.
I've been on my phone until now, and I just noticed your sig pic...... Those rims are from an off road edition ram.... Is your truck an OR ram, or did you buy those? If it is an OR ram, then you should have 4.10:1 gearing.
So far, I say cover the basics first. Plugs, wires, air filter, injectors......
Ah, Having a limited slip will stop most of your chances of a torching the tires. You might as well give up now considering the stock LSDs in these trucks are about as bad as their transmissions.
I still want to know what type of tire you have on there. If it's an AT, I could almost understand..... Not fully, but it would make more sense if you have a lot of rubber on the road.
