Default 03 Dodge Hemi

I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi and im clueless on what to do with itperformance wise. I dont know what Programmers/ Tuners to get for it and along with cams because there not computer friendly with the 03's so if someone has a 03 and would let me know on what they found best for the 03 hemi is i would greatly appriciate it.

Thanks

the TMR delete (https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...ete-mod-4.html) is cutting/pulling a wire that eliminates the torque managment system that out trucks have to reduce the power that goes to the trans. cutting the wire eliminates it so all the power goes to the trans and it makes a huge difference.

the power wire is putiing a specific resistor inline with the sensor on the air intake to "trick" the pcm that colder air is coming and so you'll get more fuel which in turn should give you more power. if you seach power wire or tmr delete theres like a million threads on it. but i also def recommend the superchips tuner. i bought mine monday and man what a difference!!!

yeah i just cut mine, but other guys cut it and run a switch to inside the cab so they can turn it on/off when they want to. im planning on it but ive had it cut for 1.5 years so far and no issues. i also dont really beat on the truck either.
