What up guys! New to the board and I have a few questions. First, I have a 01 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 318. First question, if I remove the fan and install a electric fan, will I see a gain in power and HP? 2nd question, what do you guys think about headers and dual exaust? Who makes a good(cheap) header? Should I run dual cats and 3" exaust? How hard will it be to run a dual exaust with the gas tank in the stock location? Any help will help, thanks for look'n

 

elec fan coversion is a touchy subject... alot of "hatters" out there say its worthless...tons of others say its the only way to go...it really depends on how much time effort and money you wanna put into it..you can go out and ge ta flexalite setup and spend a ton of cash on it... or like i did..peice it together and fab up most of the needed parts... also is your alt up to the task? my 136 amp alt ..even though its strong as hell..still takes a bit of a lickin when them fans kick on .. if you got a low stocker 90 amp alt you wanna be careful.

theres MANY posts around talkin about headers... if you use the search function you can see that your exact question(s) have been asked atleast 5 times in the past month... also great tool to get good ideas on what to do next to the truck...b/c if you start modding youll never stop

yah shott is the man to answer you he has just done both lol

personally id go for the eletric fans and not ecpect too much diffence its not gonna be worse than stock however if you do get some improvment bonus

on my truck stock alt on a 98, 318, 1500 is 117 amps i just got the build sheet from dodge last week you can email them and ask for one if you wanna see what alt you have if u dont know
