diy single turbo 4.7l magnum
before i do the 4.56 gear swap i am looking to do a couple of mods i was thinking about doing the 08 intake manifold, gibson shorty headers, removing the pinched y pipe and putting in a new one, and a ho camshaft if i can find one. Is there any other low budget mods i could do to gain hp and tq i already have a fastman 69.5mm throttle body, single 2.5in to a dual 3inch flowmaster super 10 catback exhaust, a k&n cai, air ram power wire and a sct tuner with hemi fever canned tunes

Isn't the 4.7 overhead cam? If so, you'll need both cams, and a custom tune as well.
4.56 gears are pretty deep. With stock size tires, towing on the freeway will have the engine screaming.

Personally, I think swapping to the 5.7 would be simpler, and probably cheaper.....
yes i would need 2 thats why im looking to gain power before i waste money on 4.56 gears which would make the engine scream on the highway, but i cant find any high output camshafts for the 4.7 magnum how much would it be to put a hemi in
yea it would be alote easier and cheaper to do cam, intake manifold and headers just have to find a high out put cam or find someone who does re grinds

Not sure how well a regrind would work on an OHC engine.......
You are looking at a couple grand anyway..... probably 3-600 bucks for the cams, another 500 or so for custom tuning..... and peripheral expenses related to the change....

i was told that if i get a cam from a high output 4.7l jeep grand cherokee i dont need to do custom tuning
