Get a superchip, exhaust and a cold-air take. Those are the simplest of modd's and will only cost about $1000-1200.

yeah i would go exhaust, intake, superchip, maybe new tb, electric fan and water pump, and maybe some new gears(4.10s, 4.11s or 4.56s). and you could do all of that by yourself except for the gears which would be about 1200 installed.( thats the estimate i was given but it seems a little high to me)

If your truck is 4X4 then a gear swap will be very expensive but the 2wd trucks its much cheaper.

If you're happy with the stock Borla exhaust, keep that and go with superchips and intake.

Cool man!!1 I love to see a fixed up Ram!! I would go with the big three. Exhaust, Intake, and the Superchip!! Just want to let you know......after you do all this stuff, you'll want more!! I know I did. I am looking at some headers right now, but dont know what kind are the best for my truck.

Id keep the stock borla system and add an intake and superchip tuner to it just to start out with, you'll be happy with the results from just that. otherwise you can go more in depth with the 4.56 gears, an STS Turbo, and other high horse power mods but thats gonna run you quite a bit of $$$$$ for all that.
