Both components are crafted to integrate flawlessly with your Ram 1500’s factory systems, ensuring reliable communication and tuning precision without compromising vehicle safety or drivability.

Performance & Sound

By unlocking additional horsepower and torque, this kit enhances acceleration and overall engine responsiveness. Disabling MDS provides consistent V8 power delivery, eliminating the transition delays associated with cylinder deactivation. Adjustments to throttle mapping and rev limits contribute to a more aggressive and engaging driving experience. While this kit primarily focuses on engine and transmission tuning, the improved powertrain performance can indirectly enhance exhaust sound by enabling more robust engine operation under load.

Installation is straightforward and designed to minimize vehicle downtime. The kit includes a modified PCM pre-programmed to your specific 2021 Ram 1500 5.7L 8-speed transmission model, eliminating the need to send your stock PCM away for unlocking. Before removing the stock PCM, it is essential to save your vehicle’s original calibration using the inTune i3 device, following the included instructions carefully. The required bypass module or cable is included to ensure compatibility and safe installation. No permanent vehicle modifications are necessary, and the process can typically be completed with basic hand tools.
