Wrapping up the installation of our WMS 850 package on a customer's Ram TRX. This truck baselined at 536 HP at the wheels and 544 FT-LBS bone stock.
This project was unique due to the customer's requirement for 91 octane fuel at work, (as 93 octane was not available on the job site) and 93 octane fuel when at home. To accommodate this, we tailored the package accordingly.
To answer a common question, a truck tuned for 91 octane can run on 93 octane, but not vice versa. However, this needs to be discussed beforehand so we leave room for error (ex: bad batch of fuel out of the pump).
During the installation, we also detected worn supercharger drive bushings and made the decision to replace them before any further issues arose. This highlights the importance of finding a shop that truly listens to your needs, is transparent, and cares about the health of your truck.
Next, we'll install the customer's intake and get the truck ready for dyno tuning. Although the weather conditions aren't ideal, our Mustang Dyno is equipped with steady-state and road sim, which allows us to simulate street conditions via load control, and gives us useful data that would normally be seen during street driving.
If the weather clears we'll fine-tune it for drivability in the next coming days and share performance metrics post-build. It's been a pleasure working with Clay, who has been flexible and patient throughout the build process. We're excited to share the final results with you, so stay tuned! Until then, here is a progress photo.
