175 hp Ram roars!

Lessee, how did that Flatt & Scruggs tune go--let me tell you a story about a poor mountain Ram named Jed...barely kept his owner thrilled

This poor little old 175 hp 1995 5 speed Ram named Jed [Clampett?] was treated to a ported head for cooling, #5 TST torque plate, 14 cm2 turbine housing, and the magic 370 hp Diamond B marine injectors. We saved it from the doldrums of its earlier high dollar "B brand" uprate plan by putting in a real TST plate, and "real" injectors, but it still has that little exhaust housing.

The Dynojet said 372 hp. Thank you very much. Folks said you couldn't get more than a squeak over 300 hp from the 175-180 hp Rams. Jed's owner doesn't want to put any of the "excess" hp back on the table. Funny thing, no one wants less power.
