|  I hate blatant BS. That's what that graph illustrates. If Dodge released it they need to be sued, but I can't imagine a more inaccurate dyno run. Look at the curves. Torque at 1000rpm appears to be at around 400lb/ft according to the graph (hard to read because of fat *** lines). If that was the case, the truck would have about 76hp at that point, not the 220hp indicated. I also cannot believe they would start the run at around 500rpm  Again at 2000rpm based on the crappy fat torque line, the motor would be making 445lb/ft which would mean 170hp, not 260 like shown. At 3000 it would be close to on, at 4000 again pretty accurate about 10hp low according to torque, but then the 5000 it's off by more than 100hp! With 400lb/ft at 5000, it would make 380hp, not 260.That dyno graph is so misleading it's beyond reason that a major manufacturer could use it, and I'm smelling something stinky. |

| Does everyone know that you can extend the stock rev limiter that shuts off the fuel pump at 6250 to 6450 by wiring the fuel pump to a switched 12 volts? The injectors are cut off at 6450. The relay for the fuel pump is under the driver seat. ------------------ James Cox nochevy@hotmail.com 1991 Mustang LX 12.565 @109.38mph 1.764 60ft |

| 90dpscoupe, the limiter only works when the engine is using its own power to rev too high. Rev limiters cut out spark or fuel, neither of which was needed when the cars momentum is turning the engine. If you get going 90mph and shift into 1st gear, cutting spark or fuel out is not going to stop the engine from being turned at the rpms needed to go that speed in 1st gear. ------------------ 67 Fastback - Arctic White Pearl paint 351W ,Trick Flow Aluminum Heads, Edelbrock TorkerII, Carter 750 CFM, Comp.

| I'm sorry I forgot to add that I think that trick only works with the 5.0L up to 95. ------------------ James Cox nochevy@hotmail.com 1991 Mustang LX 12.565 @109.38mph 1.764 60ft |
