Im talking to the guy im going to be buying the SCT Tuner from, and he will tune it after i install the n2o.

Im hoping with a 100shot of n2o ill be at around 400, and with a 150 at 450.

The SCT should also help with all my other mods and peice them together like a puzzle and get the best perf. i can out of all of them.

I cant wait... its going to be SICK...

but first i have to finish the issue im having with my tranny and starter now..

replaced my torque converter and front seal, and now the starter wont engage with the teeth to turn the flywheel. Gonna work on that all day tomorrow/today... once thats out of the way... SCT, Lm2 wideband, GiSM Fuel Rails, and n2o are all coming up. Along with my new painted parts..

god... i have to much **** going on... its a damn money pit!

making trucks faster is more expensive and time consuming, and being a mopar its even more expensive since mopar parts are like 50% higher then any other performance parts for Ford or GM, hell the M-1 intake manifold for our trucks are well over400$ a pop and so rare people have paid up to 600$ for one on ebay, and you can get a intake manifold for a ford 4.6 for about 100$...and longtube headers for 160$ and tuned at any shop for about 100$...

now take a Mopar Truck.. intake manifold 400-600$, Mid Length headers 400-600$, Tune 500$ for SCT then an ectra 150$ for a tuner to tune it, and another 450$ for a wideband data logger to send to your tuner cuz none of them are local and SCT is so new to dodges only a select few can do it correctly... i cant drive it to an perf. shop and put it on a dyno and tell them to tune it for 100$.. i got to spend 1000.. lol...

but like you guys said, when its all said and done it will be a truck that will keep up, or smoke these sport cars... and just makes them feel worse knowing there TransAM, Vette, Stang, gets smoked by a truck...

if only it came stock with some sort of forced induction, if it was a diesel, it would be easy as **** to get that much power out of it, just do a chip or two and if need be put on a larger turbo charger and you are set...
