do they put cats on diesels i didnt think they did. all current rams with the cummins now have cats on them as of january 04. ok so let me get this straight... the new 04 cummin has 600ft-lb of torque and with banks you can get another 207 out of it why would you need 807 ft-lb of torque well as they say... if you have to ask you wouldnt understand. .

besides i looked at the dynos on the site it makes the power really peaky most engines power graphs are peaky... they build power to a peak then fall off again. then it drops. if you wants to make good power. bore that thing out! nah - you just need to use better products. like this for example http//www.tstproducts.com/pmcrdyno.htm .
