It your transmission, You're drivetrain loss is close to 30%, the Titan's are losing 12% tops. Not to mention a Titan is lighter than a QCSB Ram.

Titans have good torque and a better tranny...not sure on their gearing. The run sounds about right but details wouldn't hurt...is your ram a 4x4,which gears do you have, is the titan the extended cab or crew...2wd 4wd?

BTW your throttle body spacer is useless on a dry manifold....a good flowing catback (not flowmaster) will really help your top-end.

A Fastman TB is a good investment, pacesetter LT headers are a good choice for the hemi. As far as cams go, you're options are kinda limited right now. KRC's cam grinder went under, so for the moment no more custom grind KRC cams. I think Marty is still selling Comp Cams, but it'll be a few months before his custom cams are available again. There should be a sticker in your glove box that will have your gear ratio on it. It's probably 3.55, maybe 3.92 if you have the tow package.

I just looked up some info on Titan gearing, they are available with 2.94s or 3.36s, but in conjunction with their transmissions, the 2.94s are comparable to a 3.73 in a Ram and the 3.36s are comparable to a 4.10 rear in a Ram.
