Default What can I get for $2500

Ok I have a 03 Dodge Ram Hemi RegCab and I want to make it as fast as possible for $2500. Was thinking exhaust, headers, cold-air intake, superchip, nitrous, and cams. Could I get all those products for around $2500. And will that get me into the 12's was thinking of using a 75-100shot of nitrous.

You should be able to get it all for that price, and that 1/4 mile time sounds about right. If you can put the power to the ground........

You can't get a decent lift, tires, wheels, and labor (if he chooses to pay someone to put it on) for $2500. A Skyjacker lift alone is $2100 (with rear leaf springs, not the blocks). Add onto that wheels, tires, alignment, speedometer recalibration, and labor, you are well over $2500.

Don't plan on lifting my truck at all. The only thing I would do would lower the back by 1.5inch or so. For install everything except for cam's and nitrous I can have done for free. SO do you think everything for $2500 is possible.

To be honest with you, I don't know. I am more into 4 wheel drive's and lift kits - not racing it out. Why don't you price it online through autoanything.com or jegs.com? That will give you a definitive answer as opposed to us speculating.

Definitly worth it. Pickups are made for hauling and strength. Not to hold the title of "I beat a honda".

Well I will do alittle bit of hauling this summer. I'll be working at my fathers Lumber Yard and towing jetski's to my shore house. But my truck is not 4X4 just 4X2. And I have been killing honda's since I got the truck. And I'll try the pricing thing.

Looking closer to actually $3500. Actually now thinking about just getting an STS turbo set up. Expensive yes but 420HP at only 7psi is something that catching my eye. Would probably only run that on the track and keep it at 4psi on the streets.

For all you are wanting I am not sure if $2500 is enough, but either getting a super or turbo charger might be do-able for $3500-$5000 and that will surely get you the pick up and go you want.
