if i was to do a new cold air intake, rockers, heads, full exhaust, new throttle body, and chip it, how do you think I would hold up against a hemi ram? Also which chip would you guys recommend for the 5.9? Thanks

I think you'd still get your *** handed to you.
If you add up the peak (advertised) gains from all of those it's impressive, but if you were to slap it on the dyno you wouldn't net anywhere near that number. I'd wager you'd net less than 50hp at the tires from all of that, and you'd be out about $2000, depending on the parts you get. You're better off spending a little more and getting a blower that you know will give you 40% more power or whatever it is.

Just drop a hemi in lol. If you are going to be trying to beat one, just find a used hemi with tranny drop it in bore out the engine while your at it drop in higher compression and larger piston larger crank, better connecting rods, the works. You could make it kill with that like up top 525 hp
