Newcomer from Georgia (Project IndyRam)
Hello, everyone. My name is Austino, and I am grateful to find a forum specifically for 2nd Generation Rams! I am excited to hear about everyone's truck and discuss parts and performance. I currently own a 1996 Ram Indy with a stock 360, and it currently has 132,000 miles. I plan to test and tune soon, and my future plans are full-out drag racing. I have yet to run an eighth or quarter mile, but once I do those, I will post them, and I'll be more specific when it comes to questions or discussion.
Again, I am excited to discover a new community, and I hope to make some good connections along the way.

Looks to be in pretty good shape. 
If you are going to be racing it, I think the FIRST thing I would do is replace the trans with a mega-viper, or the parts kit to stuff into your case. Transmissions were one of the weak points on these trucks. However, a fair few of the 47/48RE parts will fit nicely inside the 46 case.
I didn't have my speakers on for your video.... So...... What mods do you plan for the engine? How much power you lookin' to try and squeeze out of it?

I believe a shift kit was installed (more detail to come). As far as upgrades, I have seen a 360 bored and stroked to a 408 (which I may plan to do). I actually desire to keep it stock for a while until I get used to drag racing, but my ultimate goal is to own the quickest Indy Ram, and maybe the quickest truck in Georgia (this will be a lifetime goal).

Got some video of a MedEvac helicopter landing in Woodbridge, Va today...

The takeoff video may give you seizures, my apologies, I was blinded by the light, literally.
