Matt I'm new to the forum as of last night and I just bought my first Dodge over the weekend and aready the best investment I've made. I'm wanting to add a little more power to the truck and I have been doing research on what to get and prolly will order from you due to I'm right down the road (I'm just north of Cleveland). So I'm thinking most all of the bolt on's with long tubes and a programmer once they are available. But I'm also working on a budget so I have to get one part and a time. Is there a certain order that I should buy them is so I can get the most bang for my buck each time?

Thanks

Welcome. If you are looking for the best performance, then I would go with the Vararam intake, our 87mm ported throttle body, ARH longtube headers, swap the stock muffler for a Magnaflow, and then add a new tq converter. Once tuning is available, I would go through Hemifever to get a custom tune. That will really help tie it all together.

The intake and TB are going to be your easiest mods to install, but the headers and tq converter are going to show the best gains.

Yea everyone on here who runs the Vararam has said that it's awesome. I'm gonna be buying one by the end of the week for my truck.

Did you buy the A8 trans? Not sure they make a Tq convertor for it yet and whether it's really beneficial either. I guess time will tell.

I have no idea about the trans. I'll have to check and see what I have.

It's easy... If you have a turn knob on the dash to shift, it's the A8, if not, A6.
