Where do I start?
Hello all!
Well, I am sorry if I come off sounding like an idiot, but where in the heck do I start when it comes to improving my truck? I am use to being around diesels but figured I would go with a Hemi and start my own thing in a way... (hard to do when my boyfriend drives a Cummins and is sponsored by NADP), but I did it so far.
I would like to improve my mpg and get some more hp out of it...Eventually new exhaust, hood is coming, was looking at the Vararam Hemi Under Glass.
I want to show these boys I deal with that a Hemi is able to do more than just look pretty (although if I could come close to touching the 10 sec 1/4 mile diesel truck then my life would be wonderful)
My plans eventually for my truck are: Show and Shines, 100ft Shoot Outs, Burn Out Comps, 1/4 mile, and maybe once or twice tractor pull (which I am not sure yet asthis iswhat is hardest onour diesel).
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you 
We love our diesel, it's a great truck...but we are forever trying to find sponsors so we can keep racing it...Soon I will be getting my friend to get some photos done of the trucks.
