Default 2008 4.7l TRX4

I'm henry from South Texas. I have a QC Ram 4.7 Trx4. My question is about performance. I want to go faster and have better torque. Apparently I have 358HP and 390ft lbs of torque. No dyno. 6" lift and 35"s and I can walk away from most diesels that are tuned. I still want to go faster. Any recommendations??? I've topped at 125mph. Beat a 2015 Tundra and most deisels, even 6.0 Chevy with a tuner. Thanks for the feedback

From what I am reading, it's 310 HP from the factory, got any mods on there?

Wow! That is impressive. Bet driving a 4.7L full size truck with 6" of lift at 125 MPH while "walking away" from tuned diesels is pretty awesome.

I have a SuperChip tuner that's claiming an added 48HP and 60ft lbs of torque on 97Oct. First gear top speed is 55mph. 2nd gear gets me to 100mph. After that, the race is usually over lol.

Your truck, from the factory is rated 310 HP, 330 ft/lb torque. Ditch the 4.7 and drop a hemi in it if you want to go faster. Remove the lift and slam it. Install skinny tires.
