Hey guys, well i feel like its time to start doing some mods. Im getting a little antsy and want to do a few mods pretty soon. however, idk what to start with and was wanting to know what you guys think would be best to start with.

Im looking to get more power and better mpgs!!
i was thinking that i should go with the simple bolt on stuff that doesnt take too long and will give me more power.
what i had in mind is:
CAI
HS RR 1.7
Headers
high flow cat
fastman TB (52mm)
180 T-stat
Dual E-Fans
programmer/tuner
hughes f1 airgap kit ( i think that will be a lot further down the road b/c i dont have the money to throw down for that unless you guys think i should save up and get that first!)

let me know what ya think about it and if you have anything to add. im looking forward to the feedback and your opinions!

 

full tune up

 

he done tune up already ,

1st thing to wake these motors up is the sct hands down of all mods then highflow cat. im installing the airgap tues so ill let you know how that goes . then throttlebody with 14x3 and 1.7 HS

 

Austin, I still have the custom S&B CAI if your interested! Just PM me or tell your brother if you want it.

 

In order to be done at one time:
1. CAI (Onloy because RamSport97 has a used one)
2. Plenum plate fix (Someone is doing them on this site for 50 bucks for the plate)
3. 180* thermostat
4. SCT From hemifever Gonna need this if doing all 5 listed here
5. Fastman

Then:
1. 1.7s
2. Headers (Don't go cheap. Edelbrock ceramic coated on the low end, JBA: mid end, Gibson high end)
3. High Flow Cat

Then down the road:
1. Dual E-fans
2. Underdrive crank pulley

Then further down the road:
1. Fi Airgap.


Minus the Airgap, you are looking abt about 2-3K in parts.

 

CPTAFW163 about how much does it cost for the fastman?

Thanks for the advice guys ill take all this into consideration.

 

Hey Ramsport, I need to get with ya on FB chat. I think were are ready to get your CAI.
*100% tune-up has been taken care of.*
Lastrights I'm with you! SCT from Hemifever, headers, and high flow cat right off the bat!

The ONLY item of maintanence that has not performed would be the plenum fix. Being that his truck low-mileage, and no leaking plenum (we have check), it will probably go unaddressed until the Hughes F1 Air Gap is installed (I have heard the stock fuel rails are a problem on this?)
And we do have a spare TB from my last 2nd gen Ram, off a 99 model with the 360. Does anyone know if the TB off the '99 are the same as the '98? Cuz I know dodge had three different TB's during the 2nd gen run.
How much $$ does the fastman charge to mod a TB we send in?
