Son of a bitch. Okay well maybe I can pawn off my 3815 seeing as that red brick of chit won't let me tune much engine or trans wise. We will see what goes down this summer money wise but yeah keep us posted I know that you tow and I wanna know how this thing pulls a load around. So she cuts them loose from a dig you say?

i'll let you know about the towing, but im sure it'll be effortless, just because of where all the power is. Yes, it cuts the tires loose any time i want it to, and sometimes when i dont lol.

i sold my "red brick of chit" 3815 to get this DSP. I got lucky and found someone to give me $225 for it. Then i found someone to sell me this DSP for $225. I win

You bastard. Thats a sick deal. I kinda wanna get my trans in line first with the line pressure mod and maybe a new torque converter. I was thinking about getting a newer low mile motor in a while as they can be had for cheap or even doing a build on mine we will see when I get to that stage.Well its good to hear that there is hope out there.

And see, this is what i have been saying and even said over on NADodge, everyone says it wont idle and because you cant adjust the idle on the 03 it wont work. I know I have an 04 but my is tuned and idle set at 600 in P/N and 625 in D. If I can handle that low of an idle and most cams idle higher unless specifically idled down, then I always felt there was no reason why an 03 couldnt handle it.

Great job Arron and excellent vid.

As for the water/condensation from your tips, I see it is flowing over the rolled edge. Do you not have small holes pre-drilled in the bottom of those tips right before the rolled edge?

If so make sure they are not blocked. If not then you need to drill some. That allows the condensation buildup to leak out and not sit in the tips and speed up oxidation/rust.

Man, I am glad to see that you got that cam in and running. Now get us some performance numbers so we can see how much you gained compared to before the install.
