Thanks anyway buddy I put a lot of loving work into it and loads more upgrades. With Jeeps the upgrades are almost infinite lol. Regards Rik

I have an 05 dodge ram with the 4.7 magnum, any more ideas or suggestions on how to get more power and speed out of it?

[@BuiltByRik]

There are plenty of ways. My first build was a 400hp NA. But it all depends on how much you want to spend. Best upgrades to start. 12 hole injectors then solid lifters and later model rockers. If you have the original Y pipe they can be very restricting on the inside. No exhaust mod will help if you do not replace or fix the Y junction. Then later model intake and larger throttle body etc etc.

Do u think its worth trying to make the 4.7 better or getting something with a stranger motor? ​@BuiltByRik

@@georgerodriguez923 Stranger motor? I guess you mean stronger motor? Stronger and in engine strength or as in power output? The 4.7 is plenty strong to do many bolt on mods. They had a factory fault the valve seats but once you fix that it is as good as any Chrysler small block in my opinion. It has a super strong bottom end. Depends on the level of upgrades you want to use. There is not much available for this engine and that is why most of it has to be custom made or machined to fit. I am sad they did not continue to develop this engine. People are addicted to the old HEMI engine so they gave people what they wanted more Hemi's. In my opinion for quite a few reasons I think the 4.7 is a better engine.

my 4.7 wj is down for the 6th time this year because of the rockers falling off have you had that issue ?

[@BuiltByRik]

No as I have always had solid lifters and with solid lifters its almost impossible for that to happen. The only way that could happen is if they were installed incorrectly. Regards Rik

[@yup00010001]

i think i should try those lifters then

[@BuiltByRik]

Worth doing if that's your problem for sure.
