4.0 Myth Busting

Pretty cool article with ACTUAL testing results. Honestly, my main reason for posting this is so all you guys that are switching your intake manifolds out for the 99+ manifolds will see how stupid it is. Enjoy

If you already had good, stock injectors, you won't really notice a difference. Injectors make very little difference to stock gasoline engines. Diesels on the other hand, are a totally different story. You have to look at it this way, the computer, only calls for the amount of fuel it needs so unless you up the required amount of fuel needed, the stock injectors are perfect. The different nozzle/spray pattern MIGHT help burn fuel better but, the difference will be marginal at best. If the neon injectors were really that good, mopar would have used them in the first place

yeah the 99 intake was interesting, was wondering though if once a stroker and cam was done if the old style gets restrictive , then what kinda gains can be made with the 99 up

You definitely would see gains with a cam and some head work but, I'm not sure how much. I think the 99+ intake would really help with forced induction

actually forced induction cares less about some smaller restrictions, the reason being an N/A motor is relying on air pressure 14.7 psi at sea level to force itself into the engine on the intake stroke. When you have boost though, lets say 10 lbs+ atmospheric= 24.7 lbs pushing air into the cylinder. Now im not saying getting rid of those restrictions wont help, i'm saying it doesnt matter as much as an N/A motor... When my engine goes south (hopefully no time soon since I just got it going again after 2 years downtime) I will do a 4.2 and cam and propane all at once with an HEI distributor, and will probably go for the intake then
