Default RE: my dodge

Start with your intake plenum. Then get your pcm fixed. If you have a 2001, you have the death flash from the factory. From there, it's all about how much you are willing to spend. Mostly its about getting the motor to breath better, in and out

Key search terms:
1) plenum gasket
2) death flash

when you read about the death flash, you will read about how Superchips and Hypertech fix it. They will, but a flash from B&G is well worth the extra 150 bucks. They can raise shift points and get rid of other power/torgue robbing stuff that programmers do not:
