    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?

    same thing happened to me. the 545rfe must be dyno d n 3rd gear which is 1:1. every dyno guy is used to chevy and ford transmissions. I bet he did it in 4th gear which is one of the 2 overdrive gears on 2011 ram w 545rfe. go back and get your 450hp in 3rd gear bro. HELL Yeah
