The easy ones are headers, exhaust, cold air intake,,,

Those are the ones that come right to mind!!!

Take all the interior and seats out to lighten it up and make it faster

Definitely go for the 3865 if you get a superchips. If you look at the stickies in 3g Ram there is some info on new transmission programming they are working on that will only work on the 3865 tuner. I made a post on the flashpaq forums asking if this would be coming to the Dakotas with the 545rfe transmission (the Rams also use this trans) and RON over there said we would get it.

That sounds like the mods I would like to do. What of each mod do you recommend? I have a 2008 4x4 Dakota with the 4.7 E85 engine.

For every 100 pounds you remove, you gain .1 seconds in the 1/4.

So, why the LOL?
