No, I don't. I have not had a 5.9 since I sold my '98 Ram in '02.

But, you should have one!!!

Yeah, that's a lot of torque. At only 2000 rpm! You gotta buy it.

How could he not buy it when it adds that much power? I can't wait to hear some before and after comparisons.

From the looks of that paper the HP peaks at 190 hp... It might be cutoff but that's freakin low for a 5.9

Don't they come stock with like 245 peak hp and about 333 peak torque?

I believe these numbers on this paper are WHP (wheel horse power) your thinking of horse power at the crank.

Yeah I may have to get one too!

It's very dissapointing to know how much power is lost from the crank to the wheels.
