Hey guys,
I've been looking at the top end power package from Hughes engines, and was curious if any of you have installed it. I have a '96 5.2 Ram, and I'm wondering what kind of numbers I could expect after.

Thanks!

With a 5.2 you may end up with pv clearance with that cams lift(flat top slugs). You may get away with a thickers head gasket but that kills compression and with aluminum heads you should bump up the ratio as aluminum runs cooler. HP wont see much more then 250 rwhp on a 5.2 they just dont respond to mods like a 5.9. 250rwhp is bolt-on power for a 5.9.... Put that combo on a 5.9 your looking at 300+rwhp. I would swap the eddy heads for the RHS INDY iron heads and with the money saved find a 5.9 short block.

More torque and efficiency is more MPGs if you can keep your foot out of it, no?

at least that kit would get rid of the plenum gasket problem and would probably increase the fuel economy a tiny bit. i would never drop that type of money on an engine kit. you would probably be better off to get a tuner, cam and repair the plenum. the right cam could help your engine breath better and the rest could stay stock.
