Craig,
Never tried to contact Hennessy. What are they charging for the Durango
computer? Is it exchange?

I have the Mopar headers and cam (w/HD springs/retainers) on my '97 5.2l
Sport, so they are definately available. They are also listed in the
latest Mopar catalog, but if I remember correctly they weren't easy to
find. Don't get me started on the computer though... :-)
Craig
P.S. Did anyone call Hennessey on the computer issue for the 5.2l? He
has a remapped Mopar one for the 5.9 (should have it in my hands shortly
for the Durango...)
P.P.S. Are any of the "shorty" header guys shipping a new "Y" pipe? The
stock one is pretty bad.

GS,
I dont think the Magnum "R/T" engine kit is applicable to the 97-99
OBDII
system. No Mopar computer, no Mopar headers, No mopar support in
general.
This is not the R/T kit on the R/T truck either. The R/T trucks have
standard camshaft (Ram) etc. etc.... Its a waiting game for Mopar to
step
up to the plate on a "package" for the 97-99 engines. You could
"homebrew"
a system using the pieces and delve into the great unknown, but thats a
little risky and could be expensive. Mods to date that seem to work on
the
97-99 are:
Headers (always either long or short, although I think theres only a few
long tube headers avail for the later body styles),
Cold air induction (many different versions etc.),
Cat back free flow exhaust with new large dia mandrel Y pipe,
1.6 to 1 ratio rockers
Supercharger...
Mild cam? (Patrick has one on an earlier Ram, anybody with a cam in
their
97-99??)
etc. etc.
Lots of great stuff in the archives.

Sense I already have the R/T rearend and gears (9.25,3.92SG). I'm
considering converting my 98 5 speed Sport to the Magnum R/T. The
conversion process requires the R/T cam and springs, headers of
course and new Magnum R/T decals. I still have the 318 and have
been very satisfied with the power,torque and MPG. I know to
complete the process I'll have to have a Mopar or Jett stage II
computer.
The Mopar engineers seem to agree on a 50 hp increase w/all
the hardware mods stated (less the decals). Has anyone on the DML
considered or done this?

Soon to be a "MAGNUM R/T"!!
