RE: eRam issues- was: Dual Exhaust for a 3.9L V6

Depending on engine setup, mods, and driving style, the performance can
vary. (No doubts about that at all.) However, after a few runs with the
eRam ON and OFF, there is a difference on acceleration. One thing to
remember though, the eRam (and Dual eRam) only will work properly above
2800-3000RPM and at WOT. If the tests were done from idle (or off-idle)
the results will not be as noticeable.

On thing to also remember, I've relocated the IAT sensor to the intake tube
and it reads a cooler mixture. Forced air and a slightly richer mixture
(along with the Gen-II) created a perfect intake system for my truck. (*
Results may vary*) I also had the IAT relocation theory verified by Dodge,
JET, and the OBD-II website. It DOES change the injector pulse
width...richens the mixture.)
