im looking to mod my 02 ram 1500 4.7l v8 45rfe transmission to gain more power and improve the transmission. i already have a fastman throttlebody, k&n cai, transgo shift kit, sct tuner im looking to do mods that dont involve removing the motor, im also not looking to swap in a hemi or put in 4 56 gears . i keep piggy backing off this thread because i am unable to start a new thread for some reason
Headers, high flow cats, free-flowing exhaust system.... You have already done pretty much all the rest of the easy stuff.

Now...I will tell you that the throttle body you have was a waste of time without any other supporting mods. It may however work well with the following: either find HO cams or 08+ cams. Are you willing to remove your cylinder heads? If you are you can either get them ported and polished or get a set that already is. Like previously discussed, 08+ heads are superior but you may not get them to work correctly on your older engine. Along with the cams get the 08+ manifold (will need throttle body adapter, as 08+ is electronic and yours is cable). This will most likely run with whatever tune you have going on, but you leave a lot on the table and will get so much more out of it with custom tuning. The transgo kit is a good idea, I would add a Sonnax line booster to increase your line pressure. Something else that can help give it punch (and would work well with the mods I have listed above) is a higher stall torque converter.
The only successful forced induction setup on a 4.7 I have ever seen was someone with an 02 that got the adapter manifold and installed the Eaton blower from a Cobra Mustang. With a very conservative tune witnesses claimed it was a pretty torque beast. Unfortunately life got in the way and he had to sell the whole works so he never was able to get it dialed in.
I've listed some good stuff for you to work with; we are here to answer questions but we're not gonna hold your hand, this is your truck.

I have put around 5k miles on the setup truck runs great and has some get up and go made 480 whp 550 tq at 10 lbs. Going to build new motor with forged internals with a stage 4 545rfe transmission and try to make some more power . Have a video on YouTube showing the build Turbo4.7ram
I actually messaged you on Instagram as well.

I知 planning to clone this kit using eBay sourced parts. Could you post pictures of how everything looks? I have done extensive research, and for everything except the piping, I知 currently looking at around $600. I can do all the welding and fab work myself so I知 not worried about any of that. Also, are those numbers off a dyno? That seems like a ton of power to make on a 235hp stock engine on ten pounds of boost. 10lbs of boost should make that somewhere in the ballpark of 350 to the wheels after parasitic loss.

what upgrades other than the sts kit and 43lb injectors are you running?
