best intake manifold upgrade

I'd spend money on the exhaust side for cheap low end. Dodge spent some time on the kegger, it's for a truck motor.

Im not saying that the aftermarket intakes aren't an option, but I'll agree with Adobedude.
The stock Kegger is already pretty decent at low to mid range torque. The long intake runners of the Kegger are what help in this department (which is why it's in the shape of a 'keg' to begin with).
Think: High Velocity of flow, NOT High flow.
If you want low end torque, I'd spend your money elsewhere and leave the Kegger on there. A FULL tune-up would be my first move (Cap, Rotor, Plugs, Plug wires, and timing chain). Then maybe some 1.7 RR's.
I'd also look into a better torque converter if you're serious. These stock torque converters are junk. My sister had an 05 Toyota 4runner, and you really had to push on the brakes to keep it from moving AT IDLE! I'd get in it and start it, get my foot on the brake as usual, put it in gear, and it would start moving! Quite the surprise.. Felt like it had gobs of low end torque (it was Sport, with a 4.7l v8 with 270hp, 320ft-lbs). I was impressed with it's stock torque converter for sure. It had less torque, but it sure could put it to the ground a heck of a lot better than my Ram can.

im not disappointed with the Huges Air Gap but its not like your going to get crazy power with it alone, and i don't personally feel there was any significant loss of low end power. I recently pulled my flatbed trailer loaded with my 200lb tool box and a jeep wrangler on it with some gear and guys in the truck and it moved it without any problems. The engines cam is what is going to determine where your engine can make its power but thats not to say the air flow isn't going to change the curve of the band a little bit around your rpm range. (I was mainly only wanting low to mid range power to)
