Any performance upgrade suggestions?
On my 97 Ram SS/T 360 V8 I have put on the following.
Shorty Headers,
Air Aid Cold Air Intake,
Throttle body spacer,
Magnaflow Cat
Flowmaster Muffler (Which I hate!!!)
and I use Mobile 1 Syn oil.
Anything else you guys can suggest for more power?

LOL, I could go on all day suggesting things for more power lol. How much you want to spend will have a big part in this.
You can start with removing the tb spacer, its a paper weight (doesnt work)
Add
52mm fastman tb (may find used)
If you hate flowmaster you will love Magnaflow muffs chances are
Mopar M1/2BBL
KRC 220 cam w/550lift springs/retainers, treated push rods
Harland Sharp 1.6rr (1.7 ifyou dont want to do the cam)
EQ or Hughes HD heads with 2.02/1.60 valves, ported is better, put Cometic mls headgaskets under them or Felpro 1008s at least.
FordMotorSports 24lb matched injectors
SCT tuner
MSD 6al, blaster coil and 8mm wires
Viper 3200 stall tc
Auburn 410 gears
That should keep you busy n broke for a while.
Need more than 300-320rwhp then add a s/c after

Hahaha holy crap!
Thats alot more then I exspected. But my good friend from College works at a shop that does nothing but vettes, and his co worker does dodge to and he said he would port and polish my heads and the intake and tune it on a dyno for $550.
Think that would be a good start?

Sorry but i have to ask, what color is your SS/T? I have the same exact model and year, only in Black w/ Silver Stripes. And I would try getting a 52mm Fastman TB. Thats what I plan on doing next. And I love the sound of my Flowmasters, but they dont "flow" very well. :[

My truck is exactly like yours. BUT.... When I went to Texas Tech University the West Texas weather killed my paint. It was horrible. I have a bad *** painter that is my friend and we did a custom paint job on my truck. Took off the silver strips and we sanded down to bare metal and started going at it. Lite Metalic in the Jet Black paint with Candy Apple Red strips with trible ghost flames. The flames have med metalic. I also had tan interior but didnt care for it so i custmized my dast to fit a Double Din Navigation and painted the that part Candy apple red and the rest of the inside is painted black. I have spent two years off and on doing this truck and now im done. Its truly one of a kind!

I worked for car toys for a year and have been doing alarms and car audio for 5 years. It took me about an hour and half to do my dash here is a pic!
