Talking Hi! I'm new and I need performance help

Hello I'm new to DF and this is my first posting.
I have an 05 ram 5.7 hemi had it for awhile but just recently thinking of getting more performance upgrades. It has a K&N FIPK2 cold air intake and thats about it. Can you guys help me? I want to know wat you've done and how its worked out for you and any suggestions for my next upgrade would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Welcome... As said before Tuner, exhaust and gears will get you moving a little quicker and give you a good base to add some more extensive mods. What are your plans for it (lift, offroad, street, track)?

Thanks everyone.
the truck already has CAI so I guess I'll look into cat-back exhaust systems and tuners. any suggestions for the cat-back or tuner what would give me the most bang for my buck? I have no idea about a cat-back right now but i was looking into a Superchips Cortex 3950 programmer anyone had any luck with these or are there better ones out there. by the way I want it to be a street truck.
Thanks a bunch

You can do a custom exhaust too if you are on a budget. Get the magnaflow Y, some 3" tubing, a muffler of your choice (magnaflow sounds great on these trucks but its whatever you want), and go from there. Headers are also a nice add-on! Superchips is a great tuner, so is Diablo. If you want more custom tuning options, such as for a bigger cam, diablo seems to be the route people are going. Superchips is talking about a possibility of custom tuning but im not holding my breath.
