Noobie from Ozland
Hello everyone.
I'm an amateur hot rodder. I just like making my personal rides go faster, handle better and look better.
My current ride is an '03 Dodge Ram SLT Hemi 1500 pickup with 20" Wheels and 3.92:1 Gears. Current Mods are a 360 Intakez Power Shot Induction and a Magnaflow #14288 Muffler with dual 2.5" Short Tailpipes out the right side in front of RRW. I've also got a Reflexions All-steel Cowl Induction Hood (2" Rise). I've got a set of Doug's Ceramic Coated Mid-Length Headers sitting here on my living room floor and they'll be going on the truck next week.
I'm a Nuclear Professional with 32 years experience. I work at Wolf Creek Generating Station. I'm rapidly approaching 52 years of age and I still enjoy opening the throttle of a high horsepower engine just as much as I did as a kid.
I traded my '03 Cobra for the Hemi. I needed something to pull my boat/trailer. Now the challenge is going to be getting my Hemi warmed up to the level that I'm used to.
Looking forward to many a good discussion with all of you.277 RWHP & 302.3 RWTQ
Performance Mods:
1. 360 Intakez Power Shot
2. Magnaflow #14288 Muffler
Mods for Show:
1. Reflexions All-steel Cowl Induction Hood w/2" Rise.

Welcome! That new Hemi is generating lotsa interest, only a matter of time before it ends up in a street rod. Be interested to hear your opinions over time.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
