Quite honestly I don't know the gains I got from it but along the way I immediately ditched the stock crimped Y-pipe and went with a Magnaflow 2.5" di/so 3" Y-Pipe, you may want to look into that one, it's rather cheap if you can weld it in yourself. As for the Superchips I can't show dyno results but in the 91 performance it's noticeably peppier than stock tune overall even with 87 performance tune. Can't wait for the p/t tm features
I seriously need to get my butt in gear and do an e-fan mod.

Is it possible he had the 300C (hemi)? I know my Magnum R/T (Hemi also) could beat my truck any day (as well as ricers).

IF it was the base 300 it would have had the 2.7 v6. 190 ish hp I think.

There's a reason why the fat kid doesn't do good in track. You're truck is too fat to race.

300s don't get the 4.7 -- Choices are two sixes; 2.7 and 3.5, and two Hemis; 5.7 and 6.1 My Ram is fairly quick, but my C will eat his lunch. Same power and half a ton lighter.

Your weight is killing you vs. that little car. The better test for your truck would be to race against other trucks.

Honestly, I don't see much point in racing anything in a 4.7 equipped fullsized ram. Even a full bolt-on 4.7 is barely even against the hemi. I know once you get into p&p'ing the guts, she'll wake up, but thats a whole lotta money to spend to barely beat stock trucks (hemi, tundra, maybe titan?)

Just my .02 . If ya wanted to go fast, and get there fast, shoulda at least went with the Hemi. Over 100hp better platform to start with ('cept for you 08'ers).


Ps. that being said, I can't say I won't do a couple here-n-theres to my truck. I at least want it faster than it is......
