I use a FastMan 85 mm ported & polished TB and honestly I can't tell a difference, but with that said, I believe it does contribute to the overall engine performance. package

I did mine (TB) with a CAI system as one of the last mods but did not have my gears yet so like Greg says it all adds up (the Package). If you data log then that is a way of measuring improvement. I read somewhere its 1/10 of a second off a 1/4 mile run on a SC Truck.

Danny, when you mount the floor shifter, make a little extra effort to position it for easy use. I did on mine and believe me it is great fun. Slowing down I take it out of OD and then down shift to 2nd and then lean on it rolling out it. You'll find playing is habit forming. If you have buttons on the back of your steering wheel not being used, consider wiring them to your OD. Once plugged into the clock spring the center button on either side of the wheel will control your OD function.

Not sure what you mean by clock spring but I'll have a look. I test fitted the mega-shifter and with the center arm rest seat up I can reach nicely and with the armrest down shift all gears in a more relaxed mode. I really wanna get that and the cab-lights and PSC done before end of Oct when its too cold out as the Garage Build is at least 2 years out now that my 2 girls are at college.

The Ram has not gotten the attention i would like to have given her this summer.

SRT-10 hood will be here soon too!

Danny, it takes time. The clockspring is what they call the mechanism that allows the switches (horn, air bag, cruise, radio) on the rotating steering wheel to electrically connect to the fixed steering column. Itis a ribbon of wire wound like a coiled clock spring. This was primarily done to eliminate any resistance or break in continuity that the old carbon button that was used in the old days for the horn button. You will be amazed how easy an install the floor shift is. On my truck the cup holder is still fully functional and the ash tray to it left can still be opened when the lever is not in park. Gate shifters take some getting use to, but the rachet is sweet.
