Cool The Beast gets a DYNO!!!

so i finally got my complete exhaust inn 3" pacesetters LTs>3" y-pipes>2.5ft of 3" streight pipe>3" SI/2.5DO Flowmaster super 10 dumped with 14" turn downs.
After 28 painfulls hrs and some chopping and grinding, i was able to install the exhaust. The headers whent in easy on the left side but on the right i had to unbolt the fuse box, remove the plastice tire fender to get to the battery tray and remove it, remove the power steering resorvoir (or just the whole unit) and remove all spark plug wires and guide/protective round plates. and for the record; pacesetter's y-pipe on a 02 dodge ram 4X4 does not fit propaly! some series modifications have to be done. The y-pipe/collector is too big. it lands up right in between the cross member/brace that holds the torsion keys and the flooring support, I had to cut a piece off flooring. I also had to cut one of the pipes 1.5" shorter in order to be able to fit it all in.

Claiming 407 tq on a run that included 1st gear isn't all that fair and is misleading when read out of context. Your true torque is closer to the 320 neighborhood and that's nothing to sneeze at.

Yep, The 407lb/ft @ 1600rpm is a fluke or came about by the torque multiplication of 1st gear. Regardless, approx 235hp and 324lb/ft is not to shabby.

yea i know, i should have done a second pull through all of the gears. but yes 320 is my true numbers. 275tq to the flywheel stock (minus the 20%+ drivetrain loss) vs 320... thats some good gains.
