1979 Dodge Ramcharger

I wanted to say thanks for putting such great products out for us, your great tech support and friendly service.

This is my 79 Ramcharger. Magnum 360 rebuilt stock but with SpeedPro HP-116C pistons and a HER0814AL cam on a 112* LSA. Mopar M1 dp intake, Edelbrock 1826 650cfm Thunder series off-road carburetor and Summit RTR distributor with a Blaster 2 MSD coil. NV4500 5spd, Dana 300 t-case and 1983 W150 part time axles with 4.56 gears. There's a LSD from a 2007 Ram 1500 in the rear with a Eaton Trac-lok going in the front soon. It rides on 33x12.50/15 M/Ts now, going to 315/75R16LTs this summer. It has a Skyjacker 4" lift.Currently replacing the manifolds and old dual exhaust with Dougs Tri-Y headers and the Hooker Ramcharger dual hit and a H-pipe. Don't have a completed dyno run yet but will after the exhaust. incomplete chassis dyno run 6 months ago(NAPA/A1 Cardone rebuilt dizzy could not be dialed in even with several spring changes. It was sloppy when I pulled it out, detonated above 4100rpm and had poor spark) netted 217hp @ 3600, 279lbs @ 3050. Hoping for 250/350 after the dizzy and exhaust are done. It now runs on 10x better already with the new dizzy so I'll keep you posted.. Again thanks guys!
