Message:
Since installing the M1 intake manifold, it will from time to time pop back through the intake. Which may indicate a lean condition. This usually occurs after running it hard. Does anyone have any experience with upgrading to 24# injectors. It is a 2000 RT Dakota. Mods include K@N filtercharger intake, Jacobs ignition, RT camshaft(looking to upgrade to larger camshaft), M1 intake manifold, and cat-back exhaust with Flowtech muffler. What is the largest cam you can use, be streetable, and not have to reflash the computer? I am thinking of going with a Hughes.Thanks.

I think you need the Mopar HP Controller or flash to go any farther.

2000 stock injectors state 19#'s but tested in the shop are really 23#'s don't waste your money on the 24#ers I bought some and dynoed my truck w/ both injector types and heres my #'s I got...

Stock red injectors...305rwhp 354rwtq

24# cobra injectors...309rwhp 316rwtq

I lost a ton of torque and only gained 4rwhp overall.

Just get the B&G Flash and you won't have to worry about running lean anymore cuz trust me I have 2.02 heads and a .512 lift cam and I'm running at 13.5 under WOT w/ the stock injectors.

Hope this helps!

Oh by the way I had the popping from the intake u talked about on occasion like when I goose the throttle. When I put the 24#ers on it helped a little I even heard my cam was off a tooth and it was and got it fixed and it stopped but recently it came back.

Before the B&G I was running at 16 a/f ratio which is way lean but now Im w/ the B&G I'm at 13.5 and seems to be the ratio making the most power.

Thought about getting the PSC1-003 from Split Second. Not sure how well it works though. Anybody know? Hate to be a pain but, how much duration can you run and not have to have the computer flashed? Of course, the PSC1-003 should take care of that right?

THe first cam mopar offered. 204 intake, 208 exhaust duratuion, .458 lift, .467 exhaust lift, 114 degree lobe centers, and 109 centerline. It does okay, I guess. It pulls pretty hard for the size cam it is. It seems to be getting faster the more I drive it. I have seen on this board where other people have commented that other cams pull much harder than this one. And I believe that the 360 engine needs a bigger cam to get the job done myself. I want to go with the biggest cam that can be used in a daily driver. Meaning I don't care if it got a seroius lope at idle. I just want respectable gas mileage and I want the ac to work properly. The last time I took it the track it ran a 9.2 in the 1/8 if I am not mistaken. This translates to about a 14.2-14.3 in the quarter mile. Need to take it back since I have added a couple of mods since then.
