Cool Need more horse power
I am a recent Dodge owner, and I am VERY satisfied with my truck. I just bought a 2007 Ram 1500 5.7L reg cab/short bed and I am having a blast driving it. I love the power it has, but am definetely looking to upgrade for more horse power. Since I'm new to the Dodge makes, what would be the most cost efficiant and best upgrades for my new Ram? Keep in mind that at the moment I am not wanting upgrades for looks, but rather power. Thanks!

Tuner and CAI are my first thoughts! Also read up on some F&Q's. might want to do plugs, syn oil change and TB cleaning....I couldn't believe the difference it made to my truck....oh and welcome!

The search feature and the FAQ section are your friends!!!


But yeah, most people start with the basic BIG THREE. CAI, Tuner and a good flowing cat back exhaust...
