looking good, you should remove the bottom part of your stock air box and make a heat sheild for the cai,(just a suggestion)
i havnt done all that much to mine yet, got it back in nov.
put a holley air hat on it. magnaflow catback
i plan to get headers, e-fan, accel coil cap and rotor. superchips programmer, mopar magnum valve covers, edelbrock intake manifold, and fastman tb.
but my $$$ is pretty tight right now.
oh and im gunna ditch the tonneau cover and get nice rims and 35's w/2.5" lift
and as long as im dreaming 4.56 gears

I am actually working on that right now made of plexi glass. I started a thread on it.
Sounds like your off to a good start, I just bought procomp leveling kit longer shocks for the front and regular ones for the back and I'm waiting to save up for some 33's.
I understand about the $$$ situation.

performance mods in my sig. also have edel ceramic shorties,and asp underdrive pulley in the garage not installed yet.
my performance stuff is on hold right now.(motor wise anyway) just bought new rims and tires.(2300$) cepek black and cepek crusher 35's.and then i am going to do a lift next. then back to the motor.maybe the sct. or might just start saving and go with the procharger. its just hard to justify 5k for the supercharger though.but man would it be fun.

nim81,
heres the thread to what I'm working on for my cai:
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...-02-5-9-a.html
and I still have lots to do on it.
Talon, thats a great looking truck. Do you have any more side view pic's of your truck, I've been thinking about having my fender flares and part of my bumper painted with that rigno linning?
Last time I had meneki install my headers I noticed my bumber was all scratched up figured this rinno linning would be the way to go.
Come on 5.9 guy's lets get more going.

if you can get LT's for your truck I say do it.
I'm wondering what should be my next performance mod--4:56's or 10's, stall converter, efan, m1, or actually consider a bigger cam. The only thing is I have the non adjustable RR, but I believe somebody was saying theres a way to make it work I just can't remember, so I gotta do more research.
I was thinking of getting the cutouts too but I figured down the line I'll just get high flow cats and true duels.

-the m-1 will kill performance your going to need forced induction to benifit becasue the m-1 works at high rpms that our trucks never see.
i would say gears next
what superchips ya got , im thinking of selling mine and getting sct ,but that will be later down the road.
you could mod your plenum also , ihave not done that yet

I guess gears will be next then.
I'm thinking of calling sharadon performance or KRC performance and see what they say on the cam.
I didn't know that about the m1, I guess I was just assuming since the guy I talked to has a dak rt but he's supercharged.
