I can't quiteremember, what is the golden horsepower rule:Plan on $100 for every2 hp gain? Like Whitey said, it is based on your budget. The sky is the limit if your wallet doesn't have one.

well, i myself was at that same point just a while ago untill after reading about the STS trubo system. before hand i was set on buyging a supercharger and after reading all of that info, i'm sayin the hell with a s/c and buyin a turbo system when i get the money. so in my opinion, bout the only thing you can buy to make good horsepower is a turbo.

could buy a superchips #3815, that would help some

pull the Hemi and drop in a Cummins

spent $475 and if my clutch could hang on I would be around 475-490 hp and close to 1050tq at the wheels. if my clutch could hang on then my problem would be getting fuel to the pump[:@]

Dude get a JetChip Stage 2 performance chip. They are awesome. I have rode with guys that have Hypertech andSuperchip programmers, and they can't hang. I am running 13.9 in the 1/4.

jet chips are worthless. they work well at first but your computer adjusts to them being there and you gradually lose any gains you got unless you reset the pcm every couple of months.

You can get a hold of Airram. Get a power wire and a jet scoop for around $30 each.

Save your money and get a Superchips. You will like it better then most of the bolt on's You will feel the firm shifts and the adjusted shift points. It makes a stock hemi come alive.
