Jon,
Haven't had the R/T to the track yet. Going to try to go
Friday. When I called Jacob's ignition they said they had put
it on a ram with the 5.9L and gained 14 HP and 12% more torque.
Could be just a line to get me to buy it (it worked) but they said I
could return it for a refund if I'm not happy. Iv been using the G-tech
accelerometer after each mod to see rear wheel HP and 0-60 times.
So if there is no difference I'm sending it back. I'll let you know.
