This is a status of an ongoing project between myself and my old shop owner
Wayne. The project truck is a '98 R/T Club Cab.
Modifications in progress/planned:
Crower 1.7:1 Roller Rockers (Springs, Keepers, Guide plates, and rockers)
Mopar Performance M1-MPI Intake
ATI ProCharger w/Intercooler
F&B 50mm Billet Throttle Body
Mopar Performance Headers
Mike Leach Custom PCM
Custom Fuel Rails (Not intense or Holley either)
All sensors will be "Bluprinted" to be at exact tolerances (This does give
you better MPG and HP as well)
Since both Wayne and myself used to do this for a living (and Wayne being
the Mopar "Guru"), he's doing most of the physical work and i'm running
through the parts, selecting the items to be bolted on. When i'm in CA next
month, the final touches will be put on the truck (tuning the sensors).
I'm also putting together a step-by-step webpage which should be up within
the next week.

Subject: Testing the Truck
Phase One: Now complete... Steve's truck was reassembled using the stock
valve covers after all baffling was removed this was necessitated due to the
fact that the moron at the Dodge Dealer in Gainesville forgot to send the
new Aluminum Covers Second Day Fed X as requested... All this aside... The
truck has gained a noticeable amount of power as well as idling more
smoothly which I attribute to the heavy duty valve springs snapping the
valves closed tightly... Slight mechanical music is detectable from the
roller rockers but it takes a bit of listening to hear... Most importantly,
acceleration along with drivability showed nice improvements ... Tomorrow
new 50mm Throttle Body by F&B ... Next week 9-Pound Supercharger kit with
intercooler... Stay tuned for more updates... Wayne
