Are you running 89 octane? Tuner will improve the tranny greatly (superchips 3865). Cold air intake and replace the factory Y pipe. New exhaust for sound but performance really won't change as our factory muffs are pretty free flowing. Tough part about performance updgrades, they just make you want to drive it harder and faster...no one spends $1000's in upgrades to baby it. Good luck and pray for a tail wind.

OK, just curious. Looking at the charts it appears that towing for a Hemi 2500 is only 850lbs more than a Hemi 1500, but the payload is about double so you can put more in the bed.
