so when you say your truck gets beat everyday its not worth it then? I have the flowmaster in right now and just the k & n filter (getting an airaid or k&n CAI soon) still wondering if i should bother with a chip or not at this point. I have the V-8 Magnum also.

I just ordered one for my V8 through Summit Racing. I have the Air Raid CAI and a new exhaust (MagnaFlow) system. If you order one, wait until the CAI and get the Stage II.

make sure you are running 93 or better gas. also you need to have the other after market installs to achievie the most power. intake, exhaust, i also moved my iat closer to the filter so the sensor picks up more cooler air, a real cheap hrspwr fix, roller rockers when needed. 180 thermostat. also where you live with air elevation affects your system

drill a hole about 8 inches from the existing one. you will need to purchase a rubber groumont to replace the iat one. i had to splice my wires to get it to fit. summer time use the closer hole to the filter and winter time depending were you live use the hole closer to intake.

computer sensors relay info to computer regarding air fuel air temp speed and so on. colder densor air reading puts the computer timing advanced . are computers are designed to have as much as 22 degrees timing. our trucks come from factory detuned for that unknown reason. by letting computer known it is cooler outside gives the truck and air fuel mixture a better ratio and bumps the timing up a few degrees. more power more torque.in the winter time in ct. it gets 0 degrees outside not good to have all that cold air rushing in might hear some detonation in cyl. so by moving iat back to originall spot. computer picks up warmer air and sets air fuel mixture back to optimal performance. our trucks run the best with air temp outside around 70/75 degrees thats why everyone races at night. better engine performance but hardly anyone can hook up

Default RE: Jet chip install

I was thinking of getting the stage 2 jet chip for the 3.7 L 2004 dodge. Any suggestions ? I have a flow master exhaust, and a true flow air intake. The jet site recommends a 180 degree thermostat, but in limited internet research and a stop at the local auto parts store I came up empty. Any suggestions on the chip specifically and/or where to find a 180 degree thermostat ?

Thanks, Jeremy
