i just bought my new 09 ram 1500 and im looking to put some muscle in it. im thinking about a cold air intake and some kind of programmer but dont know which one to get can anyone make a suggestion

 

A tuner is going to be the best "bang for your buck" mod, not sure who has tuners out for the 09s yet, but Superchips and DSP are both good tuners for the hemi. A cold air intake is more of an assistance mod, it will help with engine breathing, and so will a freer flowing exhaust, but without a tuner, neither of those mods will really make a significant change in power, but they do help and are worth doing. Check out the FAQ subforums for the Rams, they have a great deal of good info for basic modding.

 

Bamboo....you have the HEMI? If so how much more are you looking for, where are the pickup drag races LOL? I don't think there is a good programmer for the 09 from what I have been reading but that was a month ago so by now their might just be something. There are CAI's but.....I am not a fan of them,, especially given the size of the air box and where it gets it's air now. Have a good look, just drop a KN filter or whatever your choice is,even Mopar has an upgraded filter.
