Default Stand Alone Fuel Management system

Anyone know of a stand alone fuel management system for the Ram 5.7L Hemi? I'm aware of ones that work for the imports and rice burners. I'm looking to get rid of my un-tuneable 03 PCM here soon. It's going to have to go when I add the cam and possibly supercharge/turbo charge the truck.

Depends on if you want everything else to work as well. Best bet is to convert it to a 2005 PCM setup. Then you get tunability and trans tuning.

One of the first cam swap articles I remember on a HEMI was with guys who used a Ford F.A.S.T. system to control spark and fuel timing.

Yeah but that was for a dyno stand run, I wonder how well it would interface with the rest of the vehicle?

Love the article Weed. Come summer time, I think I'll try it. It's too cold to play with a motor right now. Just imagine, all they have is Headers (bump up to almost 400 hp) and a mild street cam and can push 491 HP with those two mods alone. I got the headers and port matched and polished heads on mine. I also have planned on putting an extreme cam on it or trying my luck at making my own cam in the machine shop I got at work. These motors are EXTREMELY held back at the factory.

But remember, HP at the crank v/s HP at the wheels are two different things and because they were on a dyno, Im sure their numbers were at the crank

LS Throttle body adapter plate? Didn't know it was a mod option.

Yeah, but still, if you got those numbers at the crank, you can always change things to get more of it to the ground.
