Question Looking For Upgrade Suggestions

I have a 2005 Ram 1500 Hemi Daytona edition and am looking to upgrade it. It is currently stock. I would like suggestions for Intakes, Chips, Lifts, maybe turbos, and any other suggestions.

That's an easy answer - whatever is left from his paycheck after bills/food.

That will easily get you CAI, full exhaust with headers, programmer of your choice including custom tunes), gear swap, better brakes, cam & torque converter for starters. Then there's headwork, adapting intake manifolds, forced induction...plus you have a 2005, so all this crap will be easy to do!

I just checked out the FAQ and couldn't find anything for Nerf bars that will fit a Daytona. With the ground effects on mine, what would you all suggest?

Gonna take a little more cash than that to do all the things you listed there, specially if he cant do them all himself.
