I got a 2000 dodge ram 1500 2wd 5.9 gas , i have added a short ram cold air intake, msd wires and plugs , upgraded radiator, trans cooler , upgrades shift kit and speed sensers, i have a 180mm throttle body spacer, shorty headers , striaght pipe exhaust and a 12inch lift on 22x14 on 37s im trying figure out what other upgrades i can do to get more power before i throw turbos on it

 

Regear the axle to 4.88.

 

The cold air intake abs throttle body spacer are useless. The factory intake is already cold air. The bigger throttle body is useless without a tune. The wires will only give you minimal gain and aren't needed. The plugs need to be cooper, anything else can hurt power. Get smaller rims that are aluminum it will save weight. You could move the air temp sensor to the air intake to read slightly cooler air and look into adding a mass air flow sensor. Regear the axles but beware that adding turbos will grenade the 1500 axles if you have a heavy foot.

 

I would cam it, tune it, and new smaller rims before adding turbos.

 

That's good advice there

 

nahh i dont want smaller wheels just want more power with bigger wheels and already got it tuned

 

Then you need gears, or, dig deeper into the engine.

 

what gears should i run

 

With 37's? At least 4.56, if not 4.88's..... The likely stock gears (3.55) are going to really beat the crap out of your trans.

 

I never liked the big rims low profile tires but it is your truck. You would need 4.56s as that's the highest you can go with 1500 axles
