Default what other mods?

I have an 04 ram 1500 hemi 4x4 4-dr with a superchip flashpaq tuner, custom exhaust w/ dual exhaust 2.5" piping 10 series flowmaster single chamber mufflers and 3.5"x12" tips, just ordered a k&N cold air intake 57 series and Pacesetter LT headers. What other bolt on mods can I do without having to tune anything or tuning but not having to upgrade other parts? What about a KRC 210 or 223 cam? i know they require tuning but I already have the SCT. Would I need to do anything else so that the cam wont put stress on any other parts? Any help appreciated! Im looking to get around 450hp or more if I can.

So you want mods that require tuning or not? Your have the Superchips and SCT?

210 or 210x would be good.

I'd stay away from stacking any tuners. The Superchips is what you want. SCT is a customizable tuner for cams/heads...etc

Superchips 3815 is old and 3865 is new. New one has optional transmission tuning that makes a world of difference in performance. If you have the 3815, sell it to a 2nd gen guy or someone who doesn't want/care about the trans tuning and pick up a 3865 and purchase the trans option($40btw). You'll feel like a whole new truck.

Visit HERE for all the superchip info(ALOT to take in at once so be patient and read carefully).
Also, look HERE for the running thread regarding questions

Sorry about the confusion I have been passing 5 kidney stones in the past couple of days and now passing one more today. Heres what I have now and have ordered: Superchip 3815, true dual 2.5" piping with 10 series flowmaster mufflers w/ an X-pipe, i ordered a k&n cai 57 series and pacesetter LT headers this weekend. Im going to put an sts turbo on in a few years hopefully but for now want to put bolt ons. I DONT have an SCT I meant to say Superchip instead of SCT. I want to put a KRC 210x cam in the future as well but was wondering if there were any other simple mods I can bolt on myself like a cold air intake. I have heard from some ppl that i should get a throttle body spacer but other say dont but besides that i dont know what else I can do. Again sorry about the confusion these pain meds make ya loopy as hell sometimes.

I dont think I can bring myself around to that. I have had compliments on how good my exhaust sounds everywhere I go all the time. Its loud, deep, throaty, and alot of people say beastly but it has no raspyness is what I like. I had no mufflers before but didnt like how raspy it was. I dont want to loose the sound of it because I dont know anyone whos hemi sounds like mine. I love it.

If I did one day on a slim chance decided to change my mufflers what would you recommend?

No they are not required....a tune is done when you move on to bigger things such as a cam. A programmer is something everyone should look into purchasing, they are awesome...and you get immediate results.

I won't deny that Flowmaster mufflers sound good. I have had them on a few vehicles. Magnaflow outflows them by quite a bit. They have a little mellower town, but outflow the Flowmasters by over 100cfm. They are also stainless and have a lifetime warranty. Flowmasters usually rot away in a few years. I have seen them rusted in under a year.
Cherrybomb is another choice that have a good sound and outflow the Flowmaster. Somthing to plan on in the near future because yours will probably be rotten before ya know it.
