This week's Truckin Fast Wednesday takes a look at a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi on a dyno. It turns pretty solid numbers for a near stock truck and while it is definitely not stock, Im wondering what mods he might have.



I am guessing that he has a good tune and possibly a CAI...what mods do you think that this Ram has?

When I dynoed my 06 the hp numbers were almost identical, but I made 390 ft lbs of tq...So I'm figuring he had a tune and cai. I had a tune and CAI and shorty headers which probably was the difference in the TQ numbers

 

Not sure what's going on with that Dyno chart, nothing until 3.3k and nothing after 5250? I don't like that program if that's what it is.. That is, not grabbing the data until 3.3k rpms. I'd want to know what I'm making at low rpms too. odd...

He most likely has LT headers for the torque numbers, CAI, tune and most importantly, an aftermarket Torque Converter that frees up a bit of power to the back wheels.!

Old man. sorry, but I call BS on your 390 torque number w/cai and shorty headers. Not even with LT's would you get that number.
Even the 294hp is a little bit too much unless you were on a Mustang Dyno which actually inflates most power output by 5-8+% because of their build style.

A 2006 Hemi puts out 260-270rwhp and 280ish tq stock depending on the type of dyno used. Remember factory stock crank #'s are 345hp/375tq. These trucks have 23-25% drivetrain loss. There's no way you gained 100ft lbs tq on a CAI, headers and a tune.
I think you maybe goofed and had 290ft/lbs torque.
I have JBA shorties, CAI, tune and the difference is not 100ft/lbs more. Noticeable, but not even close.

 

Of course you'd call BS Dirty, but the fact is it did run those numbers on Beans Diesel Performance's dyno, and it aint a Mustang. Marty Fletcher from KRC performance wrote the tune specifically for the truck and wrote an excellent tune for TQ numbers. So call it whatever you want...it is what it is, and you chiming in on it was completely expected. I don't see you knocking the op of this post for his numbers which weren't far off from mine, but then again.....he isn't me and you love to target me. Dirty, your problem is that if you or one of your buddies haven't done it...it's not possible. I'm 62 years old and have absolutely NOTHING to gain by lying about something that has happened in my life, or about what a truck of mine did on the dyno....so deal with it. I have posted these numbers in a number of posts in this forum and you and only you have called BS, which leads me to believe that there are others who have experienced similar results from their trucks, and undoubtedly YOU aren't the forum GOD you believe you are. That same truck you call BS on also won the truck division points championship at the Nashville Superspeedway Adrenaline Drag program in 2009. You ever won anything Dirty or do you just like to run off at the mouth, rather than run at the track. One last thing. you stated you have CAI, TUNE,(Custom tune or canned?...Oh that's right...you have a Superchips because you like their trans tuning, but they cant be custom tuned, so what would you know about how much better a custom tune is than a canned tune?) and SHORTIES, but didn't post your dyno numbers, or have you ever dynoed your truck. If not then you have no dog in this hunt, We all can quote numbers all day long, but if you cant quote your own numbers,,,the rest of your conversation is just bench racing BS. For the complete list of mods I have it is BBK shortys, Diablosport Tuner with Custom tune,E fan, and K-N CAI, also magnaflow hi flow cats and magnaflow DIDO muffler with built in X pipe, and complete 2.5 inch exhaust. Have a good day
