Default I want to make my Dodge fast, really fast

I have a Red, 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. It has a 4.7L V8 (I Know I should have gotten the Hemi but it is the biggest I was allowed to buy). I already have a K&N Cold Air Intake and a Flowmaster Dual exhaust installed. Both helped my horsepower but not as much as I want. I want the truck to be alot faster, any one know of anything that will help me out? I'm not too worried about price but nothing outrageous. Plus I have been looking for a chip but can not find any that fit my engine. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help

Maybe a supercharger? It would take away the need for all the little bolt ons. I think they are expensive though....

Drive it off a cliff? It'll be a little slow off the mark, but the top-end speed is out of this world.

(Sorry, I just had to run with the OP's title for this thread).

More seriously, what kind of "fast" do you want? Sprint? quarter-mile time? Circular track?....

I wasn't expecting that, You owe me a new rib.

Really man, you wanna make a vehicle this heavy really fast. Comon...

With that said, Supercharger, New Cams, Port the heads, etc.. Ton of things that can be done. Sell it by a SRT10 or (Please to shoot me forum members) a Ford Lightning.

What do you consider outrageous price wise? Spray and bolt-ons would be the cheapest and easiest route with a lot more power than staying N/A...any sort of forced induction will be expensive.

How fast is really fast? Do you want to run 11 second quarter miles? That's what I would start to call fast. You're going to drop too much money into making it fast. Just sell the 4.7 and get the 8.3L. But if you're looking for 14's maybe just do full bolt-on's with a 100 shot. I think that would be pretty stout for you. Not that I want to know how those engines do with spray, scary thought.
