I see you have a body lift also. Make the distributor work a little easier.

yah chopper.... never thought of that actually but holy I thought mine was tight dang im glad its not stock! I just noticed you are sitting about the same. I only have 33 x 12.5 x 15 though. it had 35 x 14 x 15 on it but it was so agressive and would wonder everywhere so I went for a better ride but wish i still had 35's.

So I priced out new pcm's in my city (edmonton alberta canada) and they want to charge me 1000 bucks (canadian) for a 360 stock pcm. Little pricey in my opinion. Now can I get ones cheaper from somewhere else that work just as good? I phoned a lot of engine rebuilders and the smart ones said I need to change it from my 318 to a 360.

I searched the whole city for dyno-tuning on my truck but the 2 places that do it both said there isnt any software out yet for dodge computers and dyno-tuning. It is saposed to come out soon like a couple days to a few months. My cam is mild enough that i should be able to get away with just a 360 pcm though. Oh well just keeping my options open.

i agree...id throw in a 360 pcm and see what it does...if the cam is mild enough then you should get away with it... if it still acts up after the 360 pcm .. then you could either look into getting it flashed for the cam specs ... or you could tear the motor down and give it a good inspection and make sure nothing was damged when you were running it ...

Have you thought of salvage yards? There are alot of them here in the states that have a database set up to find parts, and I guarantee you they wouldn't mind shipping a pcm to ya! I'd definitely shop some yards 1st. I concur that the pcm would be a big sore in there! Totally wrong maps there!
