Package consists of MP headers, MP cat-back, MP PCM, free-flow air filter,
MP cam package requiring MP retainers and valve springs. Rockers are not
considered part of the Magnum R/T package.
This package plus a custom programmed '97 PCM and ram air hood was dynoed on
a '97 CC 318 Dak, auto., 3.55 SG gears at 225 hp @ 4500 rpm and 297 lb-ft
torque @ 3000 rpm at the rear wheels (all figures corrected). Truck is owned
by Jim Harmon in its previous modded version (Mopar Muscle, Aug. '99).
Truck also had customed rims (now owned by Ed Estoppey) and low profile tires
... do not know size.
I'm not aware that it is sold as a total package nor do I have current U.S.
prices.
I personally have these mods plus the MP 1.6 aluminum roller rockers. At
the time (extreme heat/humidity), I was running low 15.4x with the package.
Before cooler weather set in, I received the F&B Stage 1 TB and found it to
be a perfect complement to the package lowering ETS to high 15.1s. Switching
to 26" BFG drag radials from 28" (effective gear ratio of about 3.80) gave
me a season ending best of 14.917 ET. I believe mid to high 14.8s are
possible
with better wind conditions.
Oh, yes. Racing weight (truck with appearance mods, driver, 1/2 tank) is
4,350 lb.
You'll probably get better numbers (?) with the 5.9L.
Hope this helps a bit.
