Default Hemi upgrades...

I want to build up a badazz truck. I have a 2009 Ram 5.7 with Superchipped Equipped, Flowmaster 40 & Airaid intake. Besides changing the rear gear, what else is there to do as far as bolt on applications. I would really love to have every horse at my foot.

For just bolt ons??....


Bored TB- Has been said
Headers- Has been said
Cam upgrade- Inertia has some options and the 6.1 hemi cam is also an idea.

Oh, that FM muffler didn't gain you anything except for the sound factor. They flow as close if not worse than stock mufflers.

You really want power and still have a "bolt on"? Look into forced induction.

Rizam! i like those wheels, but i like your old/my new ones better!! hahah

Bolt on power is what you seek? N20 brother! big gain, not crazy expensive, i would not do over a 75 wet shot (about 100hp gain) on the stock engine myself but some people push the limit.

what are you wanting to do drag race? or just cruise the streets and race from stoplight to stoplight? If you do a cam you will need headers, different push rods, and springs most likely. but just headers (about 20hp at the flywheel) you wont feel much and a ported TB (maybe 8-10 hp a the flywheel)i think is a waste of money

But remember, more air in means more air wants to come out, one mod leads to another and so on.

Google the fast man. I'm not sure if he's making bored TB's for our trucks yet or not, but I would assume he is.

As for headers, ARH seems to be the ones that everyone likes to use.

If you are going to void your warranty anyway, why dont you port your heads and do a cam and headers? Its just a thought, and after that you can do a supercharger. that should make you really fast. Ok, I just gave you my wish list
