    Ok I have found out it is set at 285 hp so going to 330 is not going to make a difference?

    If you are concerned about the amount of oil coming out take a 1 liter (one quart) tin can and put 2 inches of loosely packed steel wool in the bottom and wire it up around the pipe and put some more steel wool around the top. This will catch drips and allow free venting. You can figure out how much you are actually blowing out.
    Check and measure it after 5000 miles or 8000km to talk to a mechanic about the volume lost. if it is less than 1/2 a cup (150ml) then don't wait his time.

    The oil is no issue, I took it in to have it flashed, went to 310 ended up putting 6 injectors in it and now it is a totally different truck, the injectors were wore out had speedo corrected and transmission is shifting great now , so should be good to go amazing at wht 6 new sticks will do LoL

    not to be a debby downer bro but of course the 17 ram will out tow that thing. Cummins ram has more hp and probably close to samme torque as that motor and its thousands of pounds lighter. Thats the price you pay for such a small motor in a big truck like that. A tune will definately not make that truck feel any more powerful. If that was my tow rig for my toys, it would be an old pete chopped with a 3406 in it.
