Performance Upgrades for 2009 5.7 hemi
Not all of them, I had a canned tune by Edge on my 04 F150 I used to run level 3 with +1.5 degrees on timing and upped WOT shift pressures. Not that bad. My first Ram here so I do not know any custom Dodge truck tuners. Last three trucks were F150's and we had 4 custom tuners that would post on the forum and specialized in the F150. One even hosted dyno days a couple times per year that I brought the 05 and 06 to ( and before I knew it I was bit by the mod bug and bought a stage II package for the 06 ). Where are all the Dodge guys hiding???? Forget intake and exhaust, tuning is the best seat of the pants gain for the $$ with the right tuner and the F150's would see a +35 rwhp gain on the dyno over the stock pull running a 93 octane tune, not to mention the incredible throttle response and no power loss between shift points. Yea I really want a tune for this truck..

they need to make a supercharger or procharger for this motor cause i would def. buy it
SWEET!! do they know about what kind of gains they are going to have??
You guys should also be able to upgrade the conveter too since its the same as the 3rd gens. And let me tell you, on my 3rd gen, a new converter made one HELL of a difference so I could only imagine what it be like on a new 09' with an extra 45hp stock.
But then again I dont know what all that would do to your warranty. Maybe try and get a deal on the R/T's converter or something so it wont void anything...

45% gain = 175.5 hp + stock = 565.5 hp
35% gain = 136.5 hp + stock = 526.5 hp
Price should be??? 5K +/-

This thread is a few days old, but if you really want the baddest Ram out there, you need a turbo or two and a custom dyno tune from B&G. I am going to guess you could do a single turbo for 5000$ and the tune for less then 1000$. You could put down 500+ HP EASILY with a single. The trans can't hold a lot of power though, especially 4th and 5th, from what I have read. There are fixes for the trans.
What do they tune with?
