Super charging 5.9 ZJ Questions
I will be building my 5.9 after I get my taxes done, I have looked in to some information about super charging a engine. I am looking to run a 7-10 lb of boost charger.I read Heaver head gaskets, injectors, fuel management system, fuel pump, tuning and ect. I am wondering is there anything I should keep in mind before starting this project? Also dose anyone know where to find the stock 5.9 engine information? Cam specs and such. Any help making my 5.9 be the girl she should have been when she came out would be appreciated

This info is for the '99 Dodge 360. It's virtually identical to the '98 360 that was used in the ZJ 5.9 Limited, except the ZJ used different intake and exhaust manifolds. http://dodgeram.org/tech/gas/specs/5_9v8.htm

For very specific tech, head over to the theSpeedfreaks.net They are the ZJ "Go fast" freaks. There is at least one guy over there who has a supercharged ZJ. You're looking at some serious money making all the rest of the components hold up to the power you're looking at. You'll almost certainly end up talking to Martin Saine about beefing up your 46RE as well.
