Default The next step for my truck

I'm new to the Dodge side of American trucks (was converted from ford), and I was wondering what I should do next in terms of performance to my '04 1500 hemi. I currently have the catback flowmaster exhaust (came with the truck) and a K&N cold air intake. I was considering a programmer (heard the Diablosport is good?), headers, or maybe even cams. I'm on a limited budget, so the toys will have to come one at a time. What do you guys think I should do next?

I would certainly say a tuner. DSP is good but for any 04 i would say SC3865 because of the trans support. You can always trade it or sell it later if you want a DSP+CMR tuning for cams/heads/headers/ECT.

tuner sounds about right, good bang for the buck mod.

What about the SC Cortex? I've been reading some good reviews on it.

i think the only difference between the 3865 and the cortex is the warranty that comes with the cortex and some aesthetics. they both do the same thing
