Nope was next on my lift after the cam I've not got installed yet either. If you'd like to make a donation, however, I'd be very happy to finish the last two things I intended to do to this truck and report back...

Its on my list of to do's as well. I can get my hands on a used edge(?) converter with a 2800 stall for about $100 if I want it. The guy is selling it to replace it with something that can handle a 150shot of nitrous, I guess it isn't rated for a nitrous application. It just needs to be sent out to get cleaned up a bit but otherwise works fine.

So I can get the tq converter for $60, It is a used APS converter with a 2800 stall. He had it on his 04' with the same cam I will be running with alot of the same parts. About how much do you guys think it would cost to get it cleaned up or refurbished? Also how hard of an install is it?

offers much closer tolerances than factory (very sloppy) and a 200rpm higher stall as well. With the closer tolerances, you get more power to the rear wheels which, in conjunction with the slightly higher stall, equates to quicker acceleration and faster ET's at the track. Again, we are the ONLY ones who offer this converter. The stators we use are all brand-new custom manufactured, not modified factory pieces. This brings the efficiency factory from the factory 82% to 93%. This can allow us to guarantee you a minimum 25-30 rear-wheel HP increase.

Good upgrade, granted it is an 09, but the tranny, shaft and rear (other than the 4.10s) are the same. Gave the R/T a nice boost.

I have been trying to get an answer on what I need to make my 09 a "4x4 R/T", minus the badge and 4.10s, I have the 3.92s. The issue is I have yet to find a Dodge person to give me an answer if there is anything else (program, ect).
