Upgrades or SRT-10?
I currently have a 03 QC with mods listed below. I really love this truck. I have my stereo dialed in the way I want it with the xm, the bed cover, etc... But I was really hoping to have something a little faster. I've got the money to do it, I guess I'm just looking for educated opinions about whether I should spend the time and effort involved in making this a srt-10 caliber truck, or if I should trade this in for a bona-fide viper-powered truck. I've seen the interior of Srt-10s and it's quite a bit nicer than my SLT. Also, the '10 has a heavier trans right? If i wanted to go from 360hp (current truck) to 500hp (srt-10) what would I have to do? Turbo, heads, etc? Seems like a lot of work and unreliability when I could go get a factory spec one if the cost is the same. I know there are some heavily modded rams out there.... Do you guys wish you'd just spent the money on a SRT? Really appreciate the input.

If you want to go fast without actually heavily modding your truck, go for the SRT-10. To get your truck up to SRT times, youd probably have to go with a turbo or supercharger. STS makes a nice turbo kit.
Also, I saw some guy with nitrous running 12's, although I'm not sure what shot.

See my sig and you will know which way I am leaning. The thing that put me over the top is the fact they stopped SRT10 production and the truck should hold its value better than my Hemi.

I think youll get more of a thrill out of the SRT though. It's more fun to say I've got an 8.3 V-10 Viper engine than Ive got a 5.7 V-8.

Ha ha ha, well doesn't the truck have a bigger, more powerful engine than your rt-10? Is a pulley kit worthwhile? What do you sacrefice for the power?
