I own a 2007 1500 5.7 4x4 I was wondering what kind of mods ( to the motor ) most of you guys are doing and what mods produce the most bang for the buck ??

 

CAI, cam, headers, superchips, cat-back exhaust, 180 t-stat, e-fan, turbo ....obviously in no order and some aren't engine things but will make other mods work better

 

Take my advice, stock is nice.
Add just a little hop, and you'll never stop.
You can't say whoa, 'till your outta' dough!

 

i never knew you were a poet hammer!! but its soo true once you start its unstoppable.... normally the proces goes... exhaust, intake, tuner, lift/drop, wheels and tires,headers, e fan, cam, and so on...

 

wow !! so you figure keep it stock ?? it goes pretty good but thought that there might be a tune that would gain some seriouse hp ?

 

yes a tuner can add hp. A cai, exhaust and headers are usually recommended most. Also though since it is a 07 if you got the lifetime warranty then you may not want to do a tremendous amount but that is another story.

 

I'm just warning you about how addicting it is for most of us. I didn't even get mine home from the dealership, had to stop at Advanced for the smoked window vent shades and a drop in K&N. Over $9000.00 later, I'm not done yet! [:@]
And that's with doing 75% of the labor myself!

 

It is very addicting, I am constantly online looking for parts for mine. My next modis finding traction bars, and then maybe rear air bags to help with heavier loads, my goal in both of those mods are to keep the same feel in ride/handling i have now, but without the wheel hop when it rains, and better load handling with heavier loads. I looked at helper springs, and dislike the idea of a stiffer ride.

 

Do the bags first. You will probably find that you won't need the bars. I put about 35# of air inmine with my ATV in the bed, but keep about 10# in them without. That bit of air kinda acts like a stabilizer bar in the back, restricting a lot of lean on turns and keeps the rear tires from hopping near as much.

 

if you can stomach it a zex nitrous system would be nice!i plan on doing one in the spring.i have an 07 and run a throttle body spacer,oversized inlet tube and cold air system from Street and Performance Electronics.check out their website.also run a gibson super truck exhaust and a superchips 3815 tuner.i have about $925 in all with me doing the labor.the zex system is about $525 depending on where you shop.good luck and happy spending!
