Hey everyone i have a 2001 Ram 1500 V8 5.2L 5-Speed Manual 4x4 with a functional ram air intake. Im wonder what some good starting modification are to wake this truck up. thanks for all help.

 

well fix the plenum, do a search please on this. Also do an exhaust system

 

SCT tuner from hemifever will put a smile on your face. Very good bang to buck ratio. You can PM him right here on this site.

 

Thanks ive heard allt about hemifever all good ill have to look into it

 

SCT
Spectre or K&N Air Filter (Spectre is $25 and K&N is $45, so go with spectre)
Cap/rotor/plugs/wires

You will be happy for a good long while.

 

Thanks may ram air intake has a drop in K&N so i got that out of the way. Im looking at magnaflow exaust. How should i go about this SCT tuning though?

 

PM Hemifever on this site OR email him at hemifever@aol.com

275 for a "canned" tune
375 for a custom tune

You only need the custom tune if you have heads and/or a cam upgrade. I have the custom because I needed a fuel trim for the 24# injectors I have.

He will send you a tuner with 3 tunes (87, 91, 93 octane or 89, 92 octane depending on what is available to you).

All you do is plug it into your OBDII plug in your lower dash and follow the instructions on screen. It will save your stock tune also.

 

alright, thanks man

 

and u might want to change ur cat to a high flow

 

Thanks for the input. I currently looking at exuast systems so this will help me.
