Please start your own thread instead of hijacking someone else's thread. I will move your post to its own thread when I can get to a computer. Thanks.

For the first part: Plug a programmer into it, select a high performance tune.

For the second part: Buy the cute front end you want with the rest of a sound and properly maintained truck behind it. Why anyone would want something so generic as a third gen for its looks is beyond me, but live like ya want to live.

Do a search here! I see this same question every other day it seems.

Put a hemi in the second gen! It's been done.
