Crank Sensor on CTD Ram (Info for Tom Lawrence)

From : steve lusardi

Q: well it arrived and i installed it and i cant believe the difference in performance. the motor has woken up. wow... never heard of that before. i guess somehow the sensor was just slow in reacting producing several degrees of retard. either that or it was manufactured in such a way that it wasnt sitting properly and causing the same retarded timing. at any rate im glad to hear its finally fixed. are you noticing an increase in mpg or havent you been able to keep your foot out of it long enough to let the tires cool .

1 replace the entire factory exhaust with a cat back system not just a muffler. 2 ditch the k&n in favor of an intake system. the k&n filter alone will not increase hp and may shorten the lifespan of your engine depending on where you drive. an intake system will allow more air than just the k&n can deliver. 3 tb mods 4 headers designed to work with the cats and the o2 sensors plus the exhaust to fit them. 5 if you have the at install a shift kit. 6 larger injectors beyond this any hp/torque increases will require internal work. 1 porting the heads 2 camshaft 3 shave the heads -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author i have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quadcab with 5.7l hemi. it has a free flow exhaust muffler and a k&n air filter which replaced the original filter. i purchased a hypertech programmer iii and after using it i have not noticed any increase in performance. what are some of the things i can do to increase performance and horsepower so i do not waste any more of my money .
