So I picked up a 97 ram SS/T mint condition 130k on it with summer and winter sets if rims and tires and exhaust system+sound system for 7k. I have 600-800$ to get more power out of it. What mods would give me the most bang for my buck?

 

Fix plenum and SCT tuner.

 

Then get the harland sharp 1.7 roller rockers....

 

What does fix plenum mean and how much does it cost? What tuner should I get and from where? Does it make a big difference? Will I lose a lot of money running premium fuel?

 

Check out the plenum thread stickied in the the tech section.

SCT Tuner from Hemifever. Canned Tunes for 265.00. You will notice a difference even running the 87 tune.

Premium fuel costs about 20 cents more per gallon than regular, so, about 6 bucks more per tank. (assuming 26 gallon tank)

 

How much would the tuner with tunes and everything cost? And ok will do. Also heard plug wires and stuff could help? And would I notice a decent difference running premium?

 

Do you recommend the pedestal or stud mount rockers?

 

Get the Harland Sharp rockers. I bought mine from http://www.southeastrt.net/. E-mail john@southeastrt.com. He'll make sure you get what you need!

Also, on the tune, its $295 from www.hemifevertuning.com. Heimfevertuning is a sponsor here on DF!

 

 

You want non-adjustable 1.7 roller rockers.
