Sam,
Alan has Leach/Mopar headers, JETII, Electric fan, 180 Tstat, Stage One TB
etc, JUST LIKE YOU!! I dont know what the 318 stock HP rating is but you
could ratio the two baselines and modded #s... Its ALAN'S truck, NOT JACKS
(Jack got those headers on yet! He he... J/K...) His truck is virtually
set up like mine (- the electric fan)... Track this Saturday???

The #'s still seem a bit off. The 250.8 hp sounds really high without
headers, computer, etc. etc. And the 229.1 lbs. sounds
a bit too low for a 5.9L.... The 5.9L is rated at 335 ft.lbs.
stock, times that by .82 for driveline losses, and you get 274.7 ft.
lbs. stock (to the ground). The stock HP of 250 times .8 gives you
about 205 hp (to the ground.
Your numbers indicate a 45.8 hp increase with only a few mods,
and a decrease of about 46 ft. lbs. of torque. Your truck is
an automatic, and the shift point PEAKS of an automatic should not
be considered into your figures... You might want to have them
print of a copy of HP / Torque from 1600-4800/4900 rpm in 50 rpm
increments. All of my runs have been this way. I then can take 'their'
graphs and look at my graphs (via excel) to get a good idea of what's
going on. Can you scan the dyno sheets??
