Modifying late model computer controlled engines is waaaaay out of my scope ....so I am asking here.
I have a 2007 Ram 1500 that I really like and want to keep. I'm curious about how far one can deviate from stock while staying within the operating system of the OBD2 system.
I use the truck for work and play. I'm not looking to make it a high rpm mill, I just want more torque and midrange. I'm considering rebuilding the original engine or a core from a wrecking yard. A stroker crank could increase power with no penalty in driveability but would that cause problems for the fuel injectors not being able to keep up? I hate to seem so naive, I just don't know how sensitive the stock computers are to changes.
I have heard that some headers result in a "check engine" light. I can only imagine what a big cam would do.
It has a 3.55 diff. I may step up to a factory 3.92 gear.
