I'm trying to find out how to
dgree my mopar performance
cam.Right now it's centered at
zero,and it runs pretty
strong.I've also got the CROWER
1:7 roller rockers,the mopar
performance headers.duals using
flowmasters.dynomax cats.cross
pipe,and 2 1/4" pipe the hole
way.I have a Magnum performance
super 250 throttle body and have
poted out the entire upper and
lower intake with gasket
matching. i'm running
Magna-Core 8mm plug wires and I
use regular Bosch premium copper
plugs gapped at .045.I had the
computer modified by JEt
performance ie:fuel mixture
richend and slight timing
advance.I want t mechanically
advance the cam using the Mopar
performance offset bushing
kit,which one?Also I'm looking
for a 170 degree thermostat and
a cold air intake system,help!!?
This truck has the NV4500
5-speed tranny and Dana"80" rear
end with 4:10 gears.Also who can
do head work to this engine and
who has the porting templates
for it.I'd sure appreciate some
good feed back,thanks!

You've got a looooong way to go to be maxed out on your V10.
Are you 4X4?

Any of the Mopar performance engine manuals will take you step by step to degree your cam. I requires a degree wheel and a piston stop or Dial indicator. Advancing your cam will give you more bottom end, I Don't see that you need that for a V10 with 4.10 gears. The Mopar performance computer is probably the better choice, I have one in my '96 Pace truck and I know of two 5.9 early Dakotas with them. One of them had a Jet chip and the owner never got it to run well. The Mopar performance controller modifies the Tranny shift points as well. My Pace Truck would never kick down after 60 mph with the original controller. Headers are a very good mod. My 5.9 had a lot more bottom end torque after I put them on. The Headers from Mopar are more like a (TES)Tubular Exhaust System but the connector pipes that go between the headers and cat are about 50% bigger in cross section. Most people go to a 185 thermostat instead of the 200. It is not so cold as to completely confuse the controller but your fuel mileage will be about 1 to 2 mpg less, and the controller will never fully get though the OBD II run cycle for emissions testing.
