Headers and a Cam?

[Punderwo]

Just for reference:

You can see all my mods in my signature, but hear are the main.... LT Headers, 87 TB, .5 CAM, CAI, B2 Exhaust and Tune by Jay Greene.

rwhp was 374 / rwtq 418 with just a basic tune after that Jay Greene started with a few adjustments and data logging it more and more... Now we believe it is about 385 or more.... I will go have another dyno done next year. For sure there is still a little more hp left in it. Jay is supper at tuning, I know I will be or I am already am at 400 rwhp.

the first pull was 341 rwhp with mods of: LT Headers, 87 TB, CAI and the B2 Exhaust

Hope this info is helpful. see dyno chart attached.... Keeping in mind this is before Jay started doing multiple tunes and me sending him data log... data log

Great Dyno sheet. No offense, but your not making 420rwtq. That's a spike at the start of the run which is common. Your making 365rwtq which is still a very nice and substantial gain, just thought I would point out the true tq number which is very very good still.

Did you have to add a AFR gauge for him to tune?

Thanks. yes I am aware of the actual numbers on that sheet, that was just a base tune, I look forward to the next dyne as it has been retuned and data logged - along with some other additions.

Yes, I had to add a wide band to get a much better tune. Thanks

Did you mount the gauge somewhere? Any pics/info on that?

Here is the wide band gauge and unit that I used;

SM-AFR Gen4 Wideband AFR with 2 1/16'' Gauge Combo

Accurately measure your car's wideband air/fuel ratio. Daisy-chain up to 16 sensor modules to connect with PLX Multi Gauges.

Are are few pics, not to happy with the gauge holder as this is a temporary spot to place it for now. It will be relocated later... Fabricating something for a better location. The gauge itself is extremely thin.

Thanks man! I have to figure out a way to mount one a bit more incognito than that.

I’m not sure about cams for the 19s but in the past ram owners reported 20-30 hp tuned from LTs depending on other mods you got. I’m waiting for kooks to come out with theirs. The exhaust pipe connections are different on the 19 then the 4th gen. 4th gens used clamps where the 5th gen pipes bolt to each other. Kooks mentioned they were coming out with ones that were a direct bolt on that didn’t require cutting and welding last I talked to them.

I have the new kooks headers and green car y-pipes installed on my 2019 RAM Rebel

Kooks 1-3/4" SS HEADERS & GREEN Y-PIPE. 2019-2020 RAM 1500 5.7L. CONNECTS TO OEM sku:3520H230

These headers and green cat y-pipes are amazing and are very good quality. My buddy and I put them on Saturday and wasn't too hard. Started at 10:30 am and finished by 2:30 pm, so about 4 hours total. The most time consuming part was putting the bolts and tightening them on the headers. Took...

I wouldn't bother with just headers unless you unlock and tune it for the mods done. no box tune will work well. best advice is to seak out a tuner. you can turn the wrenches but tuning requires experience and every engine is different along with driving style. it's worth the money.

cam will give you greatest gains. stock mds cam is gutless.

Where do I get the cams?

Where do I get the cams?

Comp Cams. Mine was a custom grind for what mods I had done. 224/234, .594/.598, 112+4 LSA

Get with hemifever (moes performance), Greene racing, demon motorsports, flying Ryan. All top notch tuners in hemi industry.

$3700 for headers? That's insane!!! Why not add a supercharger and call it a day?

that's probably installed? yea....costs money to go fast(er). blowers are more involved than you think as least if done right. most blower packages will cost you 13k+ installed. good luck finding one for a 2019 too.

f these blowers I want a snail kit

That's for the part only. Install would be on top. A simple turbo kit is no more that $2500 if you go the Ebay route which thousands are doing incl. myself and make stupid power. Install is relatively easy if you're mechanically inclined. A complete supercharger kit is $6500 plus tune plus install. I'd suggest anyone interested in more power save up and go forced induction at this point.

^^^ solid point. I miss my modded turbo car. Low pressure, quality tune. Be fun and all kinds of new sounds. Plus, having ET and trying to add a SC is going to be tough and I’m sure added $$
