hypertech power programer 3

Heres what i'm doing Next...will the programer still work with the 6.1 cam???
6.1 cam
6.1 exhaust springs
Manley Pushrods
traction bars

Heres what i cant decide on..
Headers and exhaust..not concernered with noise just numbers...
electric exhaust cutout??? sounds like fun..
What size gears in the rear??
What plugs and wires should i use..

Thanks for all your imput guys...any feed back or personal experences will be greatly appreciated...Or any suggestions I may be way off on what i need to do...Thanks Always Ryan.

Get the headers, they are well worth it, as well as the cutout. Then put you in some 4.56 gears and an aftermarket LSD and finally a new torque converter. Just make sure you get some slicks so you can get that power to the ground.

What issues? The only issue I have right now is going sideways when I lose traction!

There have been hundreds of trucks that have had the clutch retaining clips come out and grind up the rear end.

well, there's always forced induction. GS Motorsports sells a supercharger kit that is kick *** for the hemi or you can go with a STS turbo system...either one will deffinitly give the hemi some go

You don't get out much do you? J/K There are hundreds of guys out there on Dodge Talk, Rumblebee.org, Dodge Truck World, Hemi Truck Club and all of the other Dodge Truck sites. You just have to look in other groups besides this one.
