i have a 2000 Ram with the 5.9 and over time ive been losing power but keep on adding what should give more, i have a powerdyne supercharger just 6# with a volant filter 50mm throttle body 24#injectors slightly shaved intake mopar performances cheapest heads, jacobs ignition system headers and dual cat back with factory cat, could this all just be the timing please help i want to cry

 

oh one more thing an ss beat me before i even started at lunch today then i went and dug myself a hole to hide in

 

if your losing power could be time to get rid of the factory cat there notorieous for going bad earley ive herd the magnaflo cats are good

 

defenatly...if your losing that much power even with a charger on it... your cat could be plugged .. wrecking your heads... im confused why youd put a charger on it and still keep the stock cat... if anything id go with a magnaflow highflow cat... i got one and it rocks... if you have access to a temp gun... check the inlet and outlet temps of the cat ...the outlet should be hotter then the inlett....if it is then it should be fine..if there the same or opposite... hot in cold out..then you got a bad cat and should be swapped out ASAP

if it isnt that could be a number of things... if you seeing a steady decrease in power..especially with them mods you have already, id suspect the timing chain...notoreous for stretching over time..and adding a charger on it would stress the timing chain even more...if its a stock on..assuming it is b.c you didnt mention it being new or aftermarket... ALSO you need to check the plenum gasket,,,also really known to go bad and, your boost could be effecting both of these problematic parts.... a new double roler timing chain and a plenum gasket upgrade/fix would be the place to start...... the tming chains come of the factory with a nylon coating to keep noise down and wear out prematurley... and to check if you plenum is bad... take off the TB and peek inside the intake with a mirror and check for pooling of oil .. if so.. then that is bad... both easy to replace...

do a search for both items plenum gasket and timing chain and youll find alot of info about replacing these and what companys to go with

hope this helps!!!

also ... i bet either a cam or a set of 1.7 RR's would awaken your motor right quick and in a hurry,,,surpised though that the supercharger isnt doing much for you

 

bro get it fixed fast, you need to show up that ss

 

yea i would check the cat. you plenum gasket could also be going out with that much boost.

 

Im with the rest, cat, plenum and possibly headgaskets. Headers, ypipe and hi flow cat are needed for sure. Blowers work a lot better the faster you get the exhaust to exit. Let it breathe and she should wake up a fair bit.

7psi intercooled and mine can smoke most stock Vettes Cant wait till I can run full boost

 

With all of your new mods have you ever updated the computer so that all of them work and run efficiently together? get everything on the same page...

 

when you say SS do you mean SS silverado? if so, then no wonder you lost those trucks come factory supercharged right?? im guessing close to 400 hp in a light truck

 

yea i was confused when he described an SS... that tells me a combination of like 10000000000 different cars .. chevy calls all there crap an SS... homos!

aj if your really unhappy with that charger...ill take it off your hands... 100bux sound boutright?
