Yea Donny, you're right, not much bang for the buck. I was expecting more,
but Mike Leach made no promises, and I knew that going into it. They did
offer me a money back guarantee. I think the 4.7L probably could handle more
advance, its not as prone to detonation as the 5.2/5.9 is. The TQ curve did
not change much, but it has always been good, a lot better than what Dodge
will admit. The HP curve did change, its now even more broad, and from 3700
rpm to 5200 rpm I'm getting over 200 rwhp ! TQ curve from 2500 rpm to
4500 rpm is more than 250 Ft lbs.
I'll send you (or anyone else) the dyno graph on Monday, I have it at the
office.
The Headers are out already, no upgrades to the Y-pipe yet, but headers,
custom Y-pipe, high flow cats, and a free flow muffler should really help out
the HP!!
My truck is a 5spd, You might talk to Mike Leach about the TCM, nobody has
done a TCM yet, but if you all keep asking Mike about it he might do it!!

Just wondering...I remember your original post saying
they were going to add 5 degrees...could it handle
more? I have to admit I was waiting to see your
results before getting my pcm flashed...seems like a
lot of money for not much improvement...my friends 96
Ram REALLY woke up with the Mopar PCM, I'd say at
least 15+HP. What is your thoughts on the PCM as a
whole..driveability? HP and TQ curves? Any changes
to transmission performance? (I know the new autos
have a seperate pcm...but just wondering) Anybody
know if anyone is making better y pipe for the 4.7
yet? decent headers? >>
