i have a 1999 ram sport 5.2L i know its not a hemi but i want as much hp and torque out of it starting with the cheapest to eventually more expensive upgrades.......let me know what i can do besides the basics like chip exhaust spark plugs. P.S. have u heard of an electric supercharger????? it goes in Ur air-filter good or bad idea?

 

No electric Supercharger is going to push enough air to be worth it.

First, check and fix your plenum if it's bad: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...um-thread.html

Then go with exhaust (it's very restricted on these trucks).

After that I'd go with an SCT Tuner from Hemifever or Harland Sharp 1.7 Roller Rockers.

After that, there's a lot you can do. Look at other member's signatures as most of them have added their mods to them.

 

NOS window stickers, Racing floor mats and seat covers, chrome gas cap cover, spoiler (the larger the better), and import exhaust all give the biggest HP gains.

 

Yosemite Sam mud flaps and truck nutz add a good 20HP. Just kidding there fella. Fix the plenum and do a tune up to get the ole girl back to stock. Then on to the exhaust. Rid yourself of that pesky Y pipe from the factory and maybe a highflow cat as well as a performance muffler. Try the search function on this forum. There is a ton of upgrades that most everyone here agrees on.

 

listen to Annihilator_X9, hes on the right track!

or neon glow lights +5 hp, tire valve stem glow lights add at least 20 hp, the more stickers the better! Hell completely cover your rear window!

NUFF SAID

 

A rebel flag rear window screen seems to add quite a bit of horsepower as well.

 

This is true, but it also depends on application. His truck has gobs of power up high, but I wouldn't want his setup for pulling my boat. It would do it fine, and probably even better than my stock '98, but just sayin'. All depends on what you want to do.

 

RM-INDY is a great place to find the true gains with bolt on parts and different combos. His motor pukes torque which is what gives him the sub 2sec 60ft times.
