    2011 5.7 Ram with Stage 1 cam, long tubes 6.4 intake, catless y pipe stock cat-back Dyno 345hp what’s going on?

    This is about combos with long tube headers . 400hp with an LS is easy and long tube headers, even cheap one are beneficial

    2011 5.7 Ram with Stage 1 cam, long tubes 6.4 intake, catless y pipe stock cat-back Dyno 345hp what’s going on?

    Replace the headers with top fueler zummies then run a dyno. It’s not about open flow, it’s about the optimal flow.

    2011 5.7 Ram with Stage 1 cam, long tubes 6.4 intake, catless y pipe stock cat-back Dyno 345hp what’s going on?

    Actually it always was about restriction. If it wasn’t there wouldn’t be a need for headers . The data has been out there since the fifties. If the pipes are too big for the volume of air flow the scavenge effect is lost hence the use of collectors. Don’t mislead the audience into believing...

    2011 5.7 Ram with Stage 1 cam, long tubes 6.4 intake, catless y pipe stock cat-back Dyno 345hp what’s going on?

    From that article: “The interesting thing about this test was the fact that the shorty headers produced only slightly less peak power and torque numbers than the long tubes, but the torque gains down low were substantial.”

    2011 5.7 Ram with Stage 1 cam, long tubes 6.4 intake, catless y pipe stock cat-back Dyno 345hp what’s going on?

    Where that comes from and has been tested and discussed on Engine Builders, the tv show is the over sizing exhaust pipes. The functionality of X and H pipes is directly effected by the volume and pressure flowing through the pipes. Without enough volume and pressure the advantage is diminished...

    Believe it or not long tube headers can cost you power when you’re under 400hp. You need some back pressure. Back in the day everyone ran long tube headers and what they found out is better performance was obtained with shorty headers on lower hp motors. If your running power adders (blower...

    2016 laramie power wagon

    2005 & 2017 PW’s with 35 Mickey Thompson BAJA MTZ. 3/4” clearance getting in the parking lot at work. Love to go higher. Write ups in the past said to not lifting the PW because of all the issues. My *$$! Start adding and go higher. If it tips over then it’s probably no longer your...

    2019 2500 6.4L engine blown up at 95K miles?

    Remanufactured engine depends on who’s doing the remanufacturing. Huge variable when they say remanufactured.

    Running hot randomly after new water pump

    Without rushing to conclusions yes. Unlike the traditional thermostat the 6.4 in the Ram is electronically activated.

    Running hot randomly after new water pump

    I was having temp fluctuations from 186-219 (factory setup). Changed the thermostat with a OEM thermostat and no change. Flushed the system and no change. Started getting worse after a yr, 177-221. While waiting on factory parts I changed the temp sensors with a Durlast part from AutoZone...

    How much of this is really necessary?

    I want to say “Unbelievable” but unfortunately it’s totally believable. I bring my son’s vehicle in for a simple recall. Dealer says I need a tire rotation and cabin filter for $80. I said the tires are rotated at every oil change and the cabin filter was changed not too long ago. He put...

    Ordered 35's , now second guessing myself

    Ran 33’s and 35’s on both my PW’s, one with the 5.7 and 4.56 and one with the 6.4 and 4.10’s. Factory 33’s and switched to Mickey Thompson MTZ’s 35’s. Pull a 28’ enclosed car hauler. Wish I had the Cummins? Sure. But the way I use my truck the hemi meets the need. The 5.7 pulled better with...

    Bye Bye RAM!! Welcome Toyota Tundra!

    Even a brand new truck can have a simple problem causing havoc. Chevy Silverado brand new off the lot the first bump and the radio started acting up. Periodically problems occurred and the techs said the fix the problem. Not! The truck had a bad ground and like a hammer the continual ground...

    Bye Bye RAM!! Welcome Toyota Tundra!

    I’m surprised the technician did check fluid level and the valve body solenoid. Oh wait, that’s something an old school mechanic would have checked first thing. Somethings the scanner might not make obvious if the tech doesn’t know where to look. What you described are all the signs of low...

    Power Wagon owners come on in

    I’ve owned two Power Wagons, 5.7 w/ 4.56 gears and 35” mud tires and 6.4 w/ 4.10’s and 35” mud tires. Same winter mixed driving mileage (12), straight highway the 6.4 does better.

    I ran 1/4 mile bracket racing. You’re running against your own time, consistency wins. I don’t remember ever making any stellar runs, I was focused on trying to run the same time every time. Hole punch was awesome but at 500’ that was pretty much it. You are correct, run until in and out of...

    The car was built out of random race parts. The car was originally an inline 6, auto, considered junk, no motor or trans, missing some of the interior and multi colored primer on the outside, The motor came out of a crashed GTX, the driver loses control after wheeling and hit the wall rolling...
