2019 Dodge Ram 5.7 Hemi Horsepower gains K&N intake - Edge Pulsar - Muffler Delete 

Yes the hemis are very responsive to an intake upgrade

@@dynomiteperformance damn! I never knew that. I also saw videos of intake not improving anything other than sound. So the Hemi responds differently?

@@honor4thoseb471 most likely depends on application. We've tested the K&N on a Magnum with the pre-eagle Gen 3 Hemi and made about 10hp. 2009+ hemis (Eagle) have better flowing heads plus the new Ram truck intake manifolds have an active intake (short runner valve) so they are likely more conducive to a better flowing air intake.

@@dynomiteperformance great info. I just traded in my ‘16 Ram Sport for a ‘21 Laramie. Got the Borla ATAK install scheduled for Monday. Guess ill have to be looking into an intake now...lol...Which ones have you seen the best performance with?

@@honor4thoseb471 We've only tested k&n on the newer ones, but we're hoping to to an A/B test over the winter with a Flowmaster and AFE

Thanks. We appreciate your time to respond! We hope to have it back on the dyno soon.

Thank you for the comment! Hopefully you feel and hear a difference.

Thanks. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it's always nice to be able to add some proof!

Appreciate the comment!

And probably a fraction of the price of a Power Wagon 😁

Yeah but you have to consider the history of the power wagon and its suspension upgrades and lift as well as better cam and crank and heads. I'm not knocking what you're saying or even disagree. Just saying you can't just compare power and not look at everything else too. Just curious.....why do you start the pulls in 3rd gear on the dyno? I am unfamiliar with dynos and just wanted to understand the reason behind it.

Happy to help! Should be able to get more with a HP Tuners custom tune.

Thanks for the comment! It was model 63-1561

No we haven't done the clutch fan delete yet. With Covid going on we may have more time this year to test more. Thanks for the comment.

You're absolutely right. Not all about peak power. It's usable power that counts most

Appreciate the comments! Yes, I cant drive with the hood up, but also consider that our little fan cannot produce anywhere near the air volume and velocity of actually driving at 80-90mph. Would probably mitigate any artificial gains running stationary on the dyno

Well said I agree ☝️ again awesome review

@@erobins8352 Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the like! The flowmasters do sound nice. We're hoping to try high flow cats and headers at some point as well.

@@dynomiteperformance keep us posted

@@chrismaragoudakis7603 you'll see about 20 hp 20 ish tq I gained cold air throttle body and spacer tuner shorty headers highflow cats muffler swapped to Cherry bomb extreme deleted resonators and carven tips I gained a tad over 50 hp and 80 tq but I messed up running 91 octane and was told I needed 93 and treatment to make sure full stats they think I'd have seen 60 ish and 90 tq and long tube maybe better

Love the flow master on my 15 Ram.

@@ronaldbarnes8302 great. Did you go with the outlaw series?

Numbers should be similar on 2009 and up when they switched to the Eagle heads

@@dynomiteperformance Do you think it worth the price tag?

@@nicm7604 considering your mods, I would stick with the Pulsar. We haven't done headers yet so you'll probably see a bit more gains. Until you get into cams and/or forced induction the added cost of a unlocked pcm and custom tune is not worth what you'll get out of it.

@@dynomiteperformance Well said, I didnt think of it like that. Thanks for the advice!

@@nicm7604 custom tunes only benefit is reading codes and headers nos and cams ECT but if your not about that pulsar is best route I'm only getting 23 hp 31 tq off custom tune I have shortys 85 throttle body cold air throttle body spacer high flow cats cherry bomb extreme resonators completely deleted carven 5 inch I have older ram camed and it's faster better but eats fuel like 4mpg lost so my 2016 is not because it's 6 inch super lift on 37s 20x10s and I still had wheel hop so I had to get core offroad parts I ended up with about 50ish hp 80ish tq and I ran 91 octane when they told me I should have had 93 and treatment in tank

Appreciate your comments! The one you want is part number 32453. Thanks again.

Well worth it in our opinion

Absolutely correct. To increase flow I don't think there's really any other option than to increase the sieve size. They do try to combat this issue by using an oil based coating, but perhaps not to the level of the stock filter.

@@dynomiteperformance Do the 4th gen Rams have the charcoal filter in the intake like the 5th gens do? I really want to improve my performance, but I'm just really skeptical on aftermarket intakes.

@@goodinsrt8 I can't say with certainly

@@goodinsrt8 if you have one, can remove it as it restricts flow even more and is an emissions thing. Once removed, cannot reattach though fyi. Removed mine and saw a very slight mpg improvement maybe .2 or .3mpg

Glad you enjoyed the video!

We used 91 octane. I don't recommend using the performance setting without at least 91. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment

You won't regret it

We're just getting things up and running again. We definitely have plans for more mod videos on the orange dodge this summer. Stay tuned!

Awesome! Maybe I'll see you guys around sometime

Yep almost two years now. No issues. Hope to do more tests this year

So I do a lot of highway and occasionally tow I hear delete wouldn’t be a good choice what performance muffler do u recommend?

we were completely surprised that K&N's estimated power gains were actually true!

Ya I have the same intake and you can definitely feel the gains. Not astronomical, but the gains are there!

Depending on the vehicle, there is usually 15% to 20% in driveline loss. Dodge tends to be closer to the 20% loss.

Dynomite Mobile Dyno & Tuning I’m terrible at math. Just wondering what to tell people my truck is putting out. Lol. Don’t wanna use rear wheel numbers, of course. Haha

@@ELmasterBater69 Ok. So our stock run was 304hp on that particular day. That's a 23% loss from the 395hp to the crank that it's rated. We gained around 30hp to the wheels so safe bet would be around 430-435hp to the crank. We never give crank numbers so don't quote me.

We were surprised as well. K&N does claim decent numbers....but we still didnt expect it. I believe it was a Mufflex delete.

Thank you sir!

Thanks for the comment. The Pulsar was on Performance MDS off

Yep! Proof is in the pudding

Glad you enjoyed it

A dyno is not a d#$k measuring machine....it's a tuning tool. Peak numbers are not whats important. Its all about the gains. If you polled 100 dodge tuners 90 of them would tell you they pull in 3rd. The lower gear means a quicker pull, which means less speed, less heat and less wear on the engine. Much safer for everyone involved.

Thanks for watching!

I have not heard that theory but we can put it to the test with another dyno run. I'll update when we do another run.

A Vararam or s&b/Mopar style cold air intake will net more real-world gain because they are better insulated from the engine bay. Opening the hood or cutting a hole above the K&N helps this application quite a bit.

@@GarcBomber yes for real world applications the Vararam is most likely far superior. It's a tough comparison on the dyno though

I have been reading alot of people going away from. Vara.. due to dirt getting past the filter look on the 5th gen ram forums .

That would be correct but the Pulsar is intended to stay on the truck

We definitely used 91. We try to run it every time we do any dyno testing.

@@dynomiteperformance awesome thanks so much. I know they claim 30 hp for the pulsar but some literature says 91 some say 93 octane. If you only got 10 on 91 (what thier other modes claim gain wise) I guess 93 is the one that lets the timing advance enough for the larger gain. Appreciate the help and video my friends.

@@durzolife just keep in mind that timing does not advance automatically based on fuel. It does retard automatically if there's pre detonation (ie knock) however.

Hopefully doing that test this season

The block should handle over 800hp, but you will need to upgrade to forged internals

Keep in mind that's 300hp to the wheels. The factory hp numbers are at the crank. Driveline losses in the range of 20-25% are normal.

Yes you're absolutely correct. However I'm sure you'll also agree that a truck moving down the road at 50-80mph will produce more airflow than we could ever mimick doing a stationary test.

Fantastic. Getting great mileage in Eco/mds off mode with the Pulsar, but also pulls hard in performance. Love the 8 speed over the 6 speed as well. We hope to do more mods soon once the warranty is over

Nice keep us posted I was thinking of getting the mopar cold air intake through the hood and I think it gets fed air also from the bottom but expensive not sure

any issues with warranties with the pulsar

@@ryanfoss1230 No issues. It's very easy to remove before going to the dealership

Typical Dodge driveline losses are in the 20 to 25% range. Not an exact science but will give you an idea.

430hp and 455tq

Typically dyno shops will not do 6th gear pulls because of the time it takes. It generates higher speeds and with it more heat leaving you prone to short term knock. You can get the same data with a 3rd or 4th gear pull which is safer for everyone involved. Focus on the gains over stock, not trying to get the biggest number.

No this one won't fit the etorque

Absolutely! In Eco mode with mds off we're getting 9.8l/100km

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and also for your kind words. What you see in the video is not a one-off take. We make sure we can replicate the results before we publish the video.

93 octane from Mobil. It's not recommended to run under 91 when using performance setting on Pulsar

Cool was seeing thanks for the fast response

@@jg-ik5ji no problem!

A dyno shows horsepower and torque at the wheels, not the engine. You have to take into consideration the driveline loss. For Dodge that's roughly 20%

@@dynomiteperformance but on the monitor it said that was engine numbers? I understand that not all of the power the engine makes will make it to the wheels.

No the program does not display engine numbers. Only to the wheels

Ah, gotcha

Gotcha. Regardless, picking up a Rebel next year and plan on a CAI and Pulsar

Yes on the website it does say 30hp. However, in our test that wasn't the case. I imagine if we had headers and a throttle body those numbers would be higher. So maybe 30hp is an absolute best case scenario

The FPIK one I believe. Whatever the cheapest one was!

5.7 hemi

@@dynomiteperformance wow even more impressive

Thanks

@@dynomiteperformance aftermarket cold air intakes require a tuning after, not to mention it only increases the HP about 1-1.5% if that.

@@Wilderbliss17 did you watch the video??

@@dynomiteperformance yes I was just reiterating

@@dynomiteperformance did u watch it?

Please do your research. The body style is 2019 Classic done in special edition Ignition Orange. And what is it if its not a Dodge???

@@dynomiteperformance ah ok I thought that was the case but I didnt find it online, and I was just letting you know that its just called RAM sorry if it came off rude

@@dynomiteperformance what he is saying is that it’s technically a RAM Ram 1500. I believe after 2010 Ram became its own brand it’s all wording, in the end they’re the same damn trucks lol. Appreciate the video I’ve been considering these exact upgrades as I was looking for a little more power for fun and helping some with towing. I’ll be doing all this plus some shorties.

@@Reizvoll1988 I get it, just don't understand why someone would waste their time on the comment in the first place! I appreciate your comments though. Headers are definitely on our list to test!
