ok so here is where i stand on what you guys mentioned. i have 24 lb. injectors on the way as well as new head gaskets. i put on a new high flow fuel pump with the regulation system so i am not too worried about the fuel end of everything i think. is 11.5-11.8 AFR at WOT air fuel ratio? if so what does this mean compared to stock? i was planning on getting gauges but i wasnt sure which ones so this helps me out quite a bit. is there anything else i should be wary of? i.e. things to stay away from?

 

You are not understanding what I'm saying. You are going to RUIN your engine if you don't get it tuned by a professional. The stock PCM fuel maps are WAY too lean for a boosted engine. The AFR stock is most likely 12.5-13 @ WOT, when you need to be at 11.5-11.8 . I hope you're not boosting the engine because that is a sure way to throw a rod out the side of the block. Call a few performance shops in town and tell them you have a boosted Ram and you need it tuned. You will NEED to buy a SCT programmer and pay them at least another $300-400 to tune the truck with the SCT. They can most likely give you a package deal. Honestly I don't know why you aren't listening to our advice. You are going to blow your engine and then wonder why it happened....
