Thanks for the ideas guys. My only concern with getting a tuner is what that will do to the warranty. I have an extended warranty through Dodge and I don't want to void that. Does anyone have any experience with warranty claims with a tuner?

Gears would be killer, but that doesn't really increase power, just transitions it more to torque and low end. Which would be good, but this is my daily driver thats 25mi one way to work, mostly interstate so gas mileage is important.

The E-fan mod is a great idea, i didn't even think of before. It would get me mph gains and hp, win-win as far as i can see. Do you guys have any links to kits or suggested parts?

Thanks

I have a tuner and have had it in with warranty work. I even have a Diablosport decal on my windshield! Just set the truck back to stock when you bring it in, they can't prove anything. Tuner is by far the best mod you can do. Check craigslit. I got mine for $150

yeah hopefully none of you guys find the deals before I do now! I already have a tuner, but I am looking for a tranny temp gauge and pillar pod holder. Have fun with craiglook, I have found many quad parts that way, nice search engine. Should I get a cape to wear?

For $500 I would say get a tuner or a set of LT's, cats and y-pipe. They both give a nice bang for the buck.

Ive got a BFI and I honestly dont notice much of a difference but it looks better than ****ter pipe under the hood. get a tuner and youll still have money left over for more mods.
