You don't NEED tuning software for nitrous, but it is a plus. Obviously for a blower or turbo you would need a tuner. The crap I was referring to was RRs, long tubes, etc. Sure you can hit 300+ WHP NA, but you could reach far beyond that HP level with a blower, for FAR less money. But IMO I wouldn't put a blower on a truck anyway. You want Dodge speed, buy a viper or something

Not everyone wants speed. There's more than a few of us out there that just want more power. I know that Im not going to running 12sec runs down at the track with my truck, but hooking onto a 24ft gooseneck trailer and pulling it all the way to Iowa would be nice. I have no use for a blower or NOS, yes it would be cheaper to put a 150 shot system on my truck but what for? I have no use for that, and I like to work on my truck. How long is a stock engine going to last with NOS, or a blower? Headers, modded TB, RR's, tuners dont put the stress on the engine that your methods would. So the engines last longer. Most of the people that are on here, cant afford a viper and cant afford to make their truck into a speed machine either b/c they need their trucks for what they were built for, to be used as trucks. Not to mention how many guys use their Rams for daily drivers. Im not saying you are wrong just saying you way doesnt make sense for all of us to do.

That being said, I'm not saying N/A mods are pointless. I'm just saying you can gain more power for less money with power adders (if what you want to do is drag).
Best bang for your buck N/A wise would be gears. Slap on some 4.56 gears and it'll pull quite nicely

N/A mods don't add AS MUCH stress, but anything other than stock is going to shorten the engines life. Power adders can be safe, if used properly (which most people don't do because they're idiots). Hell, I've been boosting 14lbs through my stock Mustang short block for three years now, and the engine has perfect compression. It's all in the tune.
