Default obd1 mopar pcm.. piggyback or stanalone to tune

Hey guys, new member here. I've got a 95 ram 1500 5.9/360 4x4 std cab short bed. Auto. Ive been looking at go fast options. Nitrous, turbo, or supercharger.. I'm a previous turbo owner. Had a big turbo srt4 but got bored and sold it... Anyways, I recently found out my truck has a Mopar PCM and a holley throttle body.. I've been trying to find tuning options for it. Whether I can run a fuel ignition controller like the AEM FI/C 8 or if Ide have to go full standalone.. Anyone got any info?

No tuning options really for your OBDI PCM. At least, not for what you have in mind. Think I would go standalone...... and figure something out for the trans. (if you have an auto.)

B&G is your only tuning option really and they are expensive plus it is a more generic tune from them.

I would go with Mega Squirt if it was me.

They still make a pro charger kit for these. I wanna say 5,200.00 before shipping. The hemi took a lot of the aftermarket performance momentum with it.

SDCE makes a twin turbo set up for our trucks. Not sure what they used for a tune. I think you need to convert to OBD2 or run a after market controller.

Yeah, but, I bet the price tag would give me a heart attack.

Yea, I would like to try a twin remote set up. Get two turbos that are readily available for a rebuild that you can get for a few hundred bucks. Fab the piping. Most expensive part would be the controller. Have seen a few done with the fast or mega squirt controllers. Just one of my many ideas.

I know they used to run safc on obd1 stuff in the import scene. I looked into the AEM FI/C 8 but it doesn't specify whether it'll run on obd1. Its a fuel ignition controller so I didn't know if it could just be piggybacked on my mopar PCM for the f/I tuning.
