Why did the 2001 Quad Cab have only 230HP and the other 2001 models have 235HP?

Is this measured at the wheels HP? It woudl seem so, all other things being equal...

not enough HP ! 235 at the fly, 190-200 at the
rear wheels, numbers vary, depending on 2x4
or 4x4. 208 is like the best "dynod" HP that
I've heard of.

Actually not all 2001's had 235, mine says 230 on the window sticker and its a Southern model from VA. I have a 2001 4.7L 5-speed for the record and if Im not mistaking all 2000's had 235 and in 2001 they added an extra cat to make three cats and that took like 5 of our horses atleast this is what I have come to have found out?

Yep the 230 hp version is considered the LEV model. (Low Emissions Vehicle) its the same as the California version and its available in the Northeast as well as the Mid Atlantic states.
I'm also in VA and mine had, HAD :) 3 cats !

CW, I have the cams but have not had time to installed them as of yet. Hopefully in the next week or two! I should get my intake today. I'll probably install the intake this weekend, prior to the cams. I want to see what just the intake will feel like, prior to the cam swap.
I will report my finding to the board !!

BTW, in regards to the cam chains,do they a timing mark on them ??? and where you able to use all your original bolts to re-assemble?

Thanks CW!

Matt

Yep all of the original bolts. You don't take the gears off of the chains, just off of the cams. They are held in place by the chains. There are V-8 marks on the sprockets and they should point at 12:00.

Is there a "chain wedge" required for the cam
install???? I'm still waiting for the cams to
come in, but got the HO intake already.

vehicle weight has absolutely nothing to do with HP output. If i had to guess i'd say there might be a 5hp difference due to more rotating weight from a longer driveshaft and a slightly longer exhaust system.

chrsyler wouldn't go to the trouble to up 5hp on the same line of trucks just because of a slight weight difference...that isn't cost beneficial
