Searched my desktop and laptop and cant find the stock press release dyno sheet. Maybe on disk, formatted my desktop last year and thats the puter I use for my website. Ill keep looking, hopefully someone else still has it

13.99 had
Ramairbox with 14x2.25" K&N filter (from genI kit/3" added later) twin 4" ducts from the foglite holes in the bumper
Flexalite 210 twin fans (no viscous/no shroud) March 3pc alum u/d pulleys, A/C bypass belt
MP PCM, Bosch Plats gapped 040 gap/index, Taylor 8.0mm wires, MDS Blaster coil
Edlebrock TES headers, Magnaflow 3" h/f cat (gutted) Magnaflow 3" glasspack exiting infront of the rear axle
Reworked stock cpmvertpr for 2700 stall though faster ets from a 2300rpm launch, Transgo stgIII race shift kit. 392 Auburn gears Synthetics in motor, trans and diff
Weld Draglite 15" rims with 28x7.5" MT Sportsman fronts and 28x12.5" ET streets giving a 418 final
Rims are good for 136lbs less than the stock Indy rims/rubber, plus poly race buckets no center seat dropped wt another 114lbs approx. Few mods reduced wt and I removed a few things for about 14% wt reduction. Truck was at approx 3865lbs for that pass(plus me). Street trim probably would run 14.25-14.3 same mods.

Only one Lightening I raced at the track was able to keep up out of the hole, he ran over 1.2 second faster et. Every other Lighening I raced like that I had them till the 1/8 mile. In cold temps I beat a stock 01 to the finish though he ran .02 faster et. Had him by 5 lengths at the traps cause I treed his eyes out

The 'official' Magnum 5.9L V8 powercurve has a problem
...it looks like the printers 'reversed' the torque curve by printing its mirror image

You can look at the official curve at this weblink

http://dodgeram.org/tech/gas/specs/5_9v8.htm

but the torque curve is reversed.
The right hand side of the curve should be the left hand side.
The peak is in the right spot.
