PERFORMANCE MODIFICTION QUESTIONS ANSWERED HERE

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

Under a normal cruising mph, say 70 mph it should move around as the computer will try to acheive perfect ratio of 14.7.1, so it may fluctuate from 13-15

what you need to look for is under full throttle pull, and 12.5 is jsut about right on the money for N/A motors sir



and thanks for bringing this thread back alive:rock:

What are the advantages/dis-advantages of 4.10 vs 4.56 gear ratios ?

I am considering going back to 4.10's

 

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

well with the 4.10's you're gonna get better fuel mileage, but with the 4.56 better acceleration, and with the 4.10's you can run a shorter tire without affecting the ratio near as much.

 

[HOT RAM]

I was thinking better mpg and maybe better launches with less wheel spin ?

I sorta miss revving her up through the 4.10's

I have to shift at 20mph in first now

OK so my eyes hurt cause i read all 27 pages without blinking, Really good info so far..Couple of questions..Had my truck for about 3 months so far 05 RC(red cause its faster), I want to pick up a CAI K&N or Mopar, Magnaflows, no cat mids, and not sure on what headers just yet, and i guess the SCT.. 1st does that sound like a decent combo? 2nd whats the main difference between the SCT and the VEC3? which would be the easier one to tune with? and last question whats the 170 T stat for?? and should it be thrown in as well? Any help is great guys thanks..

Most here will agree that a CAI is more for bling and noise on these trucks. A K&N drop in will yield more of a power gain. Catles mids and an exhaust would be next for you, headers are optional, but need to be considered when you get your mids, as they will differ depending on your header choice if any. The SCT is simple to use, plug and play, the VEC is more tunable, but requires splicing into the factory ECM harness. As far as the 170 t-stat, it works in conjunction with your tuning device to keep the motor running a little cooler.
Look in my sig, I gots it all so I'm not knocking any products.
Find a vendor you trust and let them guide you.:rock: :rock:

Want to replace my spark plug wires. Suggestions on the best ones to get:dontknow:

 

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

MSD seems to be the choice, I think Justin has them sir

 

[black pearl]

Do I need to remove the manifold to change out the plugs:dontknow:

Do I need to remove the manifold to change out the plugs:dontknow:

you dont have to , but it makes it a ton easier to do the wires and the intake gaskets are reusable

 

[black pearl]

Damm nothing is easy on these motors.

How much tranny fluid is lost during an engine change?

engine change?, you shouldnt loose more than a pint?:dontknow:

So $80 worth is excessive? They said some was used to refill the converter but no tranny work actually done.

Roe

When running the Roe supercharger , does all the air route through the supercharger all the time or is there a bypass to allow vacuum?

Is there a air temp. sensor at the discharge side of the supercharger just before it goes into the cylinders?

How do the 04's adjust timing? is it all software or is there a knock sensor?

I'am going to wait untill he stops blowing up engines to ask any questions:rock: :rock:

there is no blow off valve, the air temp sensor is on the intake side, and 04's dont have a knock senssor

 

[bmako]

tranny lock? Any problems with this on our trucks.
Also, has anyone used exhaust flaps instead of removing pipes before racing?

get a set of electric cut outs, they made a huge difference in my turbo truck bro
