nice!
are the cams worth it?
how hard is it to replace gears?
and is the throttle body worth it?

Maybe so, but your not comparing apples to apples. Put the same amount of $ you've got in mods into a Hemi and you'll be the little dot in his rear view mirror. Besides, I'm not so convinced. I drove a buddies stock '09 RCSB Hemi 1500 and the thing flew so fast made my truck feel like a tank...

I'm not so convinced you could even take my mildly modded '02 Grand Cherokee Overland with the 4.7 H.O. in it...
