if i get one... its purely for a toy, much like a lightning but... better cause its a dodge... but i either want to go for Boost from a custom rearmount turbo or ProCharger... hell actually i would LOVE a KB blower up top.

or... HEADS/CAM/INTAKE package that will be mindblowing N/A. though the cam will prob need to be custom ground...

If any of ya'll are members of the Farm Bureau, you can get an additional $500 discount. The dealer I've been talking to told me about it yesterday. I looked it up and it only cost $37 (Guadelupe County) for a years membership. I'm sending my application tomorrow. You have to be a member in good standing for at least 30 days but that won't be a problem since I'm waiting for the ram box option and I will most likely special order the truck anyway.

I'm pretty sure yours will be out of the Warren Mich plant. To my knowledge none of the 09's are being built in mehico.

Still waiting on mine, the Reg Cabs are delayed...

I think the worst part will be the 500 mile break in period. especially when everyone guns it when they see a new vehicle.

I know it, gotta love driving like a granny :-P I'm surprised they arent broken in on the dyno at the factory... but Im sure they don't just to keep costs down. At work we break in all our new tractors on the dyno before they get into the customers hands.

Even my new airplane engine isn't broke in, gotta do it yourself. I don't take it too easy on my new vehicle engines, I drive em hard and just avoid any low RPM loading (towing). The Hemi is slow to wake up, my 04 didn't perk up until 4 or 5K.
