Default STS 5.7 Ram, 7 psi, 475 rwhp!

Doesn't matter if you're a Dodge fan or not, you've gotta respect these numbers! Too bad the Rams are so damn heavy...a RCSB w/ the 5.7 and this turbo kit would be killer in a 4200-4400lb truck!

That's awesome!!

I'm happy for him. They have been struggling with this kit for awhile now.

I was banned from DodgeTruckWorld.com so I can't keep up on their progress. All because of the ignorant ***** I had to put in their place sometimes. God I hate noobs.

Notice I didn't say the "H" word?

I just heard a commercial for a used car sale at a Honda dealership. They have all kinds of trucks--Chevys, Dodges, Fords and even Hemis!

Sorry, back on topic...maybe someone can transplant one of these motors into a 2nd GEN Dak or something else a little lighter. The engine has potential!

Those are damn good numbers for only 7psi.

It looks like that 5.7 has some potential.

I didn't think those gutter sucking turbos could make over 400 HP.

I thought they topped out at something like 380

So can a Megasquirter be hooked up to a Dodge?

That would be a cheep and effective way to overcome the fueling issues of the Dodges.

It's making good power, but he needed a stand alone computer to do it, he's probably got 8K into that setup. If only I had that kind of money.

Yes it sure can. The Megasquirt 2 can control timing, A/F, injectors, and a few more things. Its a pretty awsome program and only gets as expensive as $350 if you buy one premade. If you do it yourself its more like $150.

With Mega 2 you could boost the doodoo out of ANYTHING safely. Screw dodge and there locked PCM's
