Has anyone ever dynoed a truck with all of the above installed? I saw Blown's, but he was supercharged.

How much HP gain could we expect from doing ALL of this?

I was told by hemifever that SCT cannot do a tune on a 4.7 with the 6speed getrage thus leaving superchips.

What is the scoop with the injectors? without forced induction how is there any gain? also wont you run rich without a tune (remember no SCT for manual)....

yes,, you need a custom (sct) tune to get any gains from the higher pressure injectors. Unless your Nick....he is running them on his truck with no tune (not sct anyway). I had some but never installed them after hearing I needed a custom tune.

I would do gears... get the expensive stuff out of the way.

Tuners and fans and stuff are cheap. A set of 4.10s will wake that manual trans right up. 1600 seems to be the going rate for a front and rear set, installed. (although, I bet you could pull it off at your shop. and have money to spare.)

Was that a high output 4.7 or a regular 4.7. I seem to recall the 4.7 made 220 at the crank. Did you have 4wd or 2wd?

chrysler rated the 4.7 HO at about 260-270 depending on the year. i have 4x4. and the standard 4.7 was like 235-240

As soon as I get the 68.5 tb I'll be dynoing mine. A 2005 club cab 4x4 HO with limited slip and AWD. What was considered stock? Wish I had found a dyno before I started the mods.

I don't know why but my truck runs fine with the injectors. Goes through a little more gas but runs a little better too
