How goes it fellas? Just a new guy droppin in to say hey, and maybe get a few recommendations while I am here. I Just bought an 08 Ram 1500 Hemi QC 4x4, and so far I have put on Westin step ups, a new sound system, and a Gibson dual out exhaust. I still have about $600 to play with so I thought I would see what you guys would go with next.

welcome, I don't own a hemi so I can't get real specific but it would seem to me that the next step would be an intake or programmer.

haha I already spend a lil to much time in the casino's. I pretty much have it narrowed down to an intake, tuner, or some tires. If I go for the intake and tuner I know what I am pickin up, but I can't figure out what to go with for the tires. I am in CT and don't do a whole lot of off roadin. From what I hear the winters can get pretty vicious up here. What would be a good tire to pick up?

Most start with cat back (you got), CAI (or at least a premium after market drop-in & a tuner (usually Superchips Flashpaq 3815). Some are satisfied right there. They are easy to do mods, fairly inexpensive and the combo has some decent performance and MPG gains...

sounds pretty good so far. id get a cold air intake and a leveling kit to really finish it off. if your wanting performance id go with what hammer said and get a tuner

I get ideas every time one of the pretty ladies in my office walks by in a summer dress. Oh, you meant truck ideas! Yep, an intake will help it breathe better. An e-fan seems a worthwhile project, as well.
