Is there nothing else available for these trucks besides tuner, exhaust and intake???????????? No test pipes, no specific nitrous kits, no anything??? Has anybody moded their truck past the usuall crappy same 3 bolt ons? Gets boring after a while.

Its a truck. Go drive it in the mud. It goes fast enough to pull a trailer and move on the freeway. Dont need it to bolt other stuff on.

I mentioned in another post. Aftermarket (performance) stuff for Mopar is nothing like the others. They are very slow to develop. When it takes K&N 1.5 years to develop a CAI, well you get the point.

The 4th Gen is fairly new. Give it some time.

And if modifying your truck was that important to you, you should have looked at a Hummer or Jeep. Their aftermarket is endless.

Not trying to be an azz, I have a Vette which I have more money into it with aftermarket than the car cost, so it bums me out too that the aftermarket is so limited for our trucks.

But it is what it is . . . . . . . . . . . .

I used to have a 350Z with just like the guy with the vette said, more money into it than the car cost. I have had mustangs, lexus's, and even honda's. It just seems like there is not much out there for these trucks. What would I like next u ask, some test pipes and a nice specefic NX kit. Maybe a cam/head combo. Just wondering what people have done and how much can these blocks hold. For instance, will these trucks hold a 150 shot (tuned obviously). And its not like I want to be the fastest guy in the world or brake any records (I know this is a truck and it is heavy) but it just gives you something to do. In my opinion the stock wheels (20's) are the nicest setup and they also look good with the stock stance. I like the SRT10 wheels but then, you better have some ***** to back it up (no aftermarket parts). jacked up trucks are not my style and neither are bling wheels, so we are left with making it look sporty, but for that we need some more power!!!!!

there's CAI's, bigger throttle bodies, full exhaust, chip tuners......... all added together for maybe about 50hp more at the crank +/- a few hp. I'm sure there are custome turbo shops that'll be happy to make something for you, there were for my last motorcycle.

ive seen headers in addition to the list thats already been provided.

I dont know what your looking for other than those.

if your looking for domed pistons, cams and other crazy items.. i doubt they would be available less than 18 months of a newly designed dodge item
