Default what should be done first

Hey all,

Just got an '03 ram 1500 with the 5.7L hemi and was wondering what should be done first. I have an 04 mustang gt and have done the basic bolt ons (ie cold air, underdrive pullies, tb, plenum, exhaust etc. ) to that and was wondering what is out there for the ram. I would like to do things that are going to increase hp along with increased mpg. Any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks

R

I've read that a CAI is easy to put on and relatively inexpensive.

Superchips or Hypertech! There are underdrive pulleys available. So lets see: cai, exhaust, chip and pulley...that's about it!

Cold Air Intake...

Oh and besides the popular myth when it comes down to a CAI. I find any will work well if the bends are correct.
Believe it or not I have an AEM cold Air INtake on my Truck that used to belong to my 04 350z Touring Roadster.

It Clamps on the same way and works flawlessly!
