Default Anyone have a few ideas??

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...

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.
