ORIGINAL: mattg1500

i have a 2005 1500 quad cab 4x4 with a hemi. It has an AFE stage II cold air, magnaflow exhaust and jet stage 1 power module, and bosch platinum +4 plugs. I cant break the stock 20's loose from a stand still, all i get is a chirp. I feel like the truck should have more power or that it lost some from when i rolled it off the floor. can i get some oppinions?? feel free to e mail me ur feedback @ MATTG1500@HOTMAIL.COM Thanks!!
Dont feel to bad man I have never been able to smoke my tires even in the rain on wet roads I can only chirp them. But then again I dont have the stock tires on and the ones I do have have much better grip than the stock ones do. Id much rather be able to punch the gas and take off from a stand still than sit there peel out.

I have heard that platinum plugs are bad for the hemi engine and that is probably your loss of power. Also I would replace the jet with better programmer as well.

Mine has a Jet stage 1 and that's it! It did have more power when I got it, as far as I remember, I do have wider, stickier tires than stock, but only chirp in a straight line. Turn the wheels and it goes sideways though. Use the brakes and it'll light up good and long. Intake cleaner helps. I took out the K&N drop in the original owner had. Too much oil sticking in the intake.

It's hard to believe that some people can't smoke there tires when the road is wet. My 04TthunderRoad spins all the time ,I even tried it in 4 wheel drive a couple of times and it 's Stock ,with 17's and a Quad cab besides. A little rain and it's all over the place.
