Thats a decent intake and it looks nice too, when mine was mildly modded I ran a Bruteforce intake, Superchips and a magnaflow exhaust and it woke the truck up pretty well. When your ready to get serious Cam swap will add a nice tone to the exhaust even some lope if you get aggressive and they can be tuned with SCT providing you have a 04-06 truck that was my next best mod.

diablosport predator is on and off the wishlist, trying to decide if i need it, anyone see any difference in their ram, my mind is made up on diablo, exhaust is probably a good place to start, anyone have any plugs they really like?

Typically people like to go for the intake/cat back exhaust/tuner combo as a good place to start their performance modding. Out of those three, the tuner gives the best bang for the buck in most cases.

Best bang for the buck was a tuner (DSP on now, had SC before both are great), My FAVORITE mod to date is my torque converter... but thats a bit pricey...

I have the mopar cai and it looks good and performs well but the bracket that attaches the intake tube to the fender broke. I am still trying to find a solution to fixing it.

Just starting the mods myself, and so far I have put on a Magnaflow cat back. I can feel it in the pedal, and data logging on my iphone tells me I shaved almost a second off my 0-60 time. I already ordered a ported throttle body, and I have a CAI and SC Cortex on my short list.

That's a good start.
