how did they go for you? It would be nice to see if Im doing something worthwhile or just lighting wads of cash on fire.

 

yea really the only thing I have going for me is a big beastly motor in the smallest based 2wd ram you can find. she is pretty quick the way it is now. but yes, the harder part will be finding a tune that can take advantage of the cam. If I get ported and polished heads, exhaust and intake... that right there should be an ample gain. then throw on a full 3" exhaust with ceramic coated long tubes, a k&n intake, and an sct tune that can slow down torque management, put the rear tires to about 20 psi and get some traction bars... I think 13's are possible... we'll seee here shortly. Im looking around for a reputable shop that will swap the heads for me. the guy from inertia said he would wave the core charge as long as I sent him back my heads.

 

Don't really have much to report with mine which is why i cant wait to hear yours LOL.
I rarely go over 70 so the truck is more of a 0-speed limit hole shot truck which she moves out pretty hard.

Unless you want to dress up the bay or you get a unbeatable price on a 6.1 conversion then i would just stick with the truck manifold.

 

your truck is huge compared to mine, mine went 15.2 totally stock. 20's = bad for the 1/4 mile

 

talked to the inertia guy online today... Im probably going to do the crazy jay cam with performance heads. this will probably net me 80-100 horsepower to the wheels... and GET RID OF THE GOD DAMN TICK! He recommended that cam because i dont plan on doing anything about raising the stall. headers with a catless 3" exhaust, and a gear swap I bet money I can hit 13.99's

 

As long as you can tune for the heads go for it. I am going with a set of ther Big Valve heads here shortly (I hope) and a new valve body. Should get me into the low 13's I hope, all motor.

 

^^ and keep the goal of keeping it street trim?

Sweet

 

To hit low 13's, I wish but it probably wont happen on all motor. Need to get at the very least some slicks under it

 

You don't want even a little more stall? I hope to do that one day even if I don't touch the engine itself.

 

A better conveter (even at stock stall) will free up a good deal of parasitic loss through the drivetrain, somewhere around 25-30rwhp. Just make sure you MATCH THE STALL TO YOUR MODS
