thanks all for the help ive been hearing from a few people with the himis they love the extra power but would perfure the magnum due to less issues and longer life is this true?
also guys that are running the superchips do u have the 15 or the 65 i don't really know the difference?

Not the same family of engines, the 5.7/6.1 is as far removed from the 426 as the 426 is from the 331-354-392 (those are just the Chrysler ones). The late 50's poly A series became the LA series 273-post '67 318-340-360 became the magnum series with a cylinder head redesign, roller cam and EFI.

Yea the Hemi has 2 plugs per cylinder if I remember right. I also have the 5.9 in my 3rd gen. I love it but that still don't mean I wouldn't mind having the 10 or the Hemi. I have done a Homebrew CAI, Hella's, and I just got some new Cooper Discoverer's a few months back. The mod list is endless it just takes money.

I have an 03 ram with the 5.9. Engine is solid, although I had to do a complete tranny rebuild at 101,000 about 3 weeks ago.
Only mods I have done so far is a cat back flowmaster super44 dual exhaust. Im laid off and gotta wait till I get back to work before I can even THINK about modding again. (Thanks Obama.)
Oh, and I leveled it too.
SKMNRAM - what are you running for tires, and what u got for a lift? That looks sick!
