wrong spec submitted by MOPAR

There were numerous tech spec errors on the first generation Drag Paks in 2009.

We kept waiting for next tech bulletin:
Titanium retains; not allowed.
Piston dome height; wrong
Rocker arm ratio: wrong
etc.
etc.

But we knew what the specs read.

And where necessary, we got parts like the piston, that matched the specs. And since in the case of rocker arms, there weren't even any after market parts even being made. So stock factory rockers were all that we could run. And we just ran them and hoped.

Finally all of the spec wrinkles on the 2009 were ironed out.

But, as hard as the guys at the Drag Pak project at Mopar worked, there aren't enough of them, nor is this their only project.

I am not offering any kind of excuse for their oversight on the spec. It shouldn't have happened, but I can see how it did.
