camshaft is pretty much the single most important mod you can do. a 210 duration might be just the ticket to really wake up your 318

I have the Hypertech power programmer, it works with a stick or automatic.....its nice cause you can re-calibrate the speedo for different size tires, and choose between either regular or premium gas....you also can read the engine trouble codes and clear them if desired....

We can do a re-program for you. Hypertech is okay but the results from a flash are much stronger. Take a look at our site if you have not seen it.

thanks bill.
i think i will wait til after a few mods, such as cam, rockers, exhaust, etc before i have the PCM flashed.

Bill what kind of gains can i expect from a flash with a completely stock truck. i believe i have the same truck as matry's aqua colored truck. any suggestions would be nice.
ps will 97 headers fit on a 96???
looking for mid 13's NA

You usually see around 10 hp and the kicker, 25 lb/ft of torque with a Mopar pcm. We can be a little more aggressive with or flash if your mods support it (or will support it in the future). '97 Mopar headers won't fit a '96. You need '96 headers or '95 headers (just block off the EGR).

are the underdrive pulleys worth the money?? Marty told me that they work well with a stick but not an auto, why is that????

when you guys sell a cam & RR do springs and dampers come with it?

nitrous will be in the future... so thats why i am not totally set on having a "tune" done on it.

should be smart and build a stroker and be done with it...money seems to be the deciding factor

thanks for all the input
