Let this be a listing of aftermarket parts and upgrades and their actual dyno tested horsepower and torque. Please include:Your truck specs(year, engine, etc) where you bought the part, price, installation tips or comments, then the Dyno test results. This will really help others with their decision on what to buy and what not to buy. Plus you get to brag alittle on your truck!

For starters: Anyone who has put in the autolite sparkplugs, airintakes, throttle bodies, exhaust systems, headers, ignition systems, heads, spacers, nitrous, superchargers, cold air, ram air, those would be great to know. Suspension, tires, and gears would be really nice too. Any 1/4 mile or 0-60 times or differences would add to this list

I have no problems with posting my findings...but results will vary from different configurations. (The averages are about the same though.)

Bernd, I know that they will all differ, but if we get lots of people to post, then this could server as the answer all to performance aftermarket questions. Its really nice to know what your getting into before actually buying.

By the way anyone know anything new on any 4.7 aftermarket stuff. (MoPAR PCM, K&N, etc)

This is a good idea but results may vary more than you think. Examples: (1) Everyone else gets more h.p. by moving IAT . I lost 14.4. (2) Everyone else has good luck using electric fans. I couldn't get them to work. After trying 2 of them (with shrouds, switches , etc.) I called a manufacturer and he said he couldn't get them to cool his Ram either. (3) I heard that I could use a longer oil filter on my truck. Won't fit. Frame is too close. On the other hand some of the regular things that people talk about got me from the 16s to low 15s. I just put the Mopar PCM and 3.90 gears in it. Can't wait until I can go to the track again. It feels much stronger. ;-) Hehehehe


If it has wheels or a skirt, you can't afford it.
