Will I need any computer upgrade or flash done,
with the HO Parts? and if I decide to have the
heads ported. I have that performance enhancer
from the OBDII due to spark knock (i really didnt
have any spark knock) and a JET II. Do you know
if it's worth $400.00 to have KRC do the heads?
Guesstamate any HP gains w/KRC's head work?
THANKS

Compuer upgrade isn't a requirement but will help a little more. Let the computer programmer know your mods. The performance enhancer you are talking about sounds like the knock flash from Chrysler. The only thing it enhances is the ability to lighten your pocket book for fuel. The Jet I haven't heard anything good about either. Not saying it doesn't work for some though.

I couldn't really give a guesstimate as to the value of porting the heads on a 4.7. Talk to Marty at KRC for that. Ask Duner for results on the porting.

R.L.Stuart-

How are things going with your ASE chip? I sent my PCM off early this week to get mine installed. I had them set my rev limiter to 6500. I also asked if they could eliminate the inputs from the downstream 02 sensors. I spoke to their tech for a while about it and he stated it was doable, but he wanted to have a truck there to test. He didn't want to guess and ship a PCM back and forth until the "tweaking" was done. I opted just to leave the downstream inputs in for now. I should have my PCM back sometime this morning. Unfortunately I don't know of any dyno's in the area to check the results at. I guess my butt dyno will have to do for now.

My head porting project has somewhat stalled. Between work, kids, and buying a new house, time has been scarse. The only attention my truck has seen is a wash and wax in the driveway where it's been sitting for a month now. Once I get everything setup in my garage, I will finish tearing down the motor and get porting. My digital camera is ready, so I'll take lots of pics. I'll even post them if you guys are interested?? Anyone? Anyone?...he he

Have a good one.

What do you want the DRB for? It is just basically a diagnostic tool. DC won't care because you can't really do any harm with it. Upping the speed limiter by resetting the pinion factor to a smaller tire will only up it a few MPH. Your speedo will be out as well.
