Welcome to the forums!

Start by putting your vehicle info in your signature line.

Second, for other people's ease, lose the texting lingo. It doesn't take that much longer to peck out "you" instead of "u".

90% of the upgrades out there like what you are asking about is pure snake oil. Won't do any good.

Also, you need to worry about the problems common to most all 2nd gen rams. Don't ask, do a search. After you have searched, and you still have questions, then ask. It's better for everyone involved.

Again, Welcome to DF.

You aren't being a pain in the ***, but help your self man.
1. Tranny
2. Intake Manifold Gasket (plenum gasket)
3. Stock LSD Diff failure
on and on...
Take a look at the DIY and FAQ threads at the top of the page.

As far as performance Pretty much the same thing. Look around.

If you haven't replaced it yet, the lower intake manifold gasket (plenum) is not fine right now. They always fail. The only way they don't fail is if you don't have enough mileage on the truck (haven't given it enough time). By not enough mileage, I'm talking under 50k miles or less, doesn't take long for them to fail due to the design flaw (if you look up the plenum problem with a search, you'll see what I mean).

Thats the first thing I'd fix, personally.

Get your truck running in 99.9% perfect stock shape before spending money on upgrades. Trust those of us (like me) that didn't take that advice, and then when they had issues later, had to wait and save up to fix the problems, where if we had waited on upgrades, we could have fixed the issues right away.

Nobody called you stupid, but if you want to keep typing like a 3rd grader that's how you'll be treated. If you're too lazy to use the Shift key or throw in some punctuation, we'll be too lazy to help you. Same with using the Search function. Also, nice of you to put some info in your sig, but the info about your truck that appears at the top right of every post is more important. That's part of your Profile info. We still don't know much about your truck other than the model and year. Is it 4X4, V8, what size, auto tranny, short bed, Quad Cab, etc...?
