Ok so i'm building a 408 stroker motor for my truck. Its already almost done n i got tons of money invested in this $4,000.00 to be exact. Ne how I got everything new for the motor its been machined and all. I need a engine management for it? Whats the best one out there for a reasonable cost that will work for dodge? I need help badly with this!!!!

97 dodge ram originally 5.2

Eagle Forged 4340 Crank
SRP Pistons
Spiral Locks
Custom Crank hasn't even been made yet
Arp Studs
Brass Plugs
Completed block machine work done
Eagle rods
Custom Head work put 5.2 magnum heads
Oversize springs
etc....

 

God knows, um, i'd say a 360 ECU with somthing liek a greddy e-manage or a reflash or somthing. just use a carb.

 

contact the fastman, he will set you up to have your computer reflashed to work perfectly with any setup your running.

 

i didnt know a 318 could be stroked to a 408?? i thought 360s went to 408 and 318strokedto like 392 or something like that?

 

Biggest stroker for a 318 is 390ci. Hemust of useda 360 block to see 408ci

Hope you had the heads thoroughly checked out as they tend to crack between the valve seats.
How big is the cam? If its say 220/230 @050you can get away with a custom flash. If its much bigger then the flash will run it, just not that well. You wont get the full potential from it with a flash.
What other parts do you have to go with it? TB, intake manifold, headers, upgraded ignition, torque convertor, upgraded trans with cooler and shift kit are some of the essentials you should have as well.

Few places youcan get flashes for it

Im not sure if Fastman sends his out to B&G.
KRC performance sells flashes as well but they send them to B&G Chrysler and will take longer to get it back (possibly much longer) and will charge you more. I wouldnt recommend them.

 

No I used a 360 block and I know about the computer flashing but i would really rather run a engine management system for it. The heads are brand new because the old ones were cracked in multiple places tons of them actually lol. So I got brand new ones. I'm doing other mods to tons more to many to list lol.

New Torque Convertor not sure what one yet still researching it a little bit. The tranny is getting a brand new rebuild with performance parts inside of it a shift kit as well. The Throttle body is getting ported, Intake manifold is getting the hughes Plenum because mopars plenum sucks, MSD or Excel coil, 8 or 9MM Wires, Transmission cooler I already installed. 410 Gears in the back with posi soon to be upgraded to a Dana 70 and theres some more stuff to. The cam we really havn't decided on what to go with yet, but I have Crane Cams building it for me. I'm working with a couple people on this to decide what parts to use and that kind of stuff so i'm not playing guessing games on this motor. I just really am trying to find a engine management system to help me to be able to tune this motor myself.

 

I paid 2kfor my FAST stand alone engine management. It will run any combo you can throw at it and progressively control nitrous and other accessories as well as on the fly tuning and data logging.
53mm tb, 2800 stall tc and 30-36lb injectors would be a pretty good choice depending on the cam specs you choose. Crane cant make a cam if you havent decided on specs so better make up your mind
