I have a 2004 Ram 1500 4X4 5.7 L Hemi I have installed Flowmaster dual exhaust, a cold air intake and a throttle body spacer " I know, waist of money". Looking to add a little more HP for under $1000 dollars. Can anyone give me suggestions on any items that will truly give me more power, not bogus claims of 100 HP chip/ 5 cent resister. Do the power tuners really work ?

 

Yup, take the spacer off, it's actually costing you a pony or two. Next logical step with cat-back and CAI would be a tuner. Superchips Flashpaq 3815 would be about the best one for gains on your '04. Plus it really firms up the tranny shifting. I return mine to stock to let friends try the performance tune who are interested in buying one and my truck feels like it's dogged. I think the firmer shifts are worth the price alone without the HP, Torque, speedo calibration and it's ability to read & clear codes.
