Hows it going? New to the 4th gen rams but not new to the hemi world & forums. I bought a 2016 Ram RT a few weeks ago. So far I like it. Slower than my 6.2 GMC that I traded in for it but only for a lil while. So far I have done a 14" Magnaflow Mufflex, S&B intake, Moes 87 mm tb and a Billet Tech. catch can for perfomance. Exterior I stripped off the Ram 1500 & have done a Stubby antenna. Interior I swapped out the floor console for a jump seat for my toddler. Probably 1 of the only RT's w/ a jump seat instead of a console. Lol My future plans are a tune, lt's & ory, clutch fan delete & Mopar V6 e fan, ATI ud pulley and a set of Durango 17's w/ dr's. 12's or bust this winter. Lol

I used to have an 04 Ram w/ a hemi yrs ago that ran 12.9's on motor & 11.9's on nitrous. It had Hemifever tune, Comp 268 cam, lt's & ory, Edge 3000 tc, 4.56 gears, intake, e fan, 17's w/ dr's & 125 shot. I'm very impressed w/ the new truck. Its light yrs better than the 04. Much more refined. The 8 speed is what made me start looking into Ram again. We bought a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee for the wife in December and the 8 speed in it definitely got me thinking.

I cant wait to play w/ the RT & have a hemi truck part 2.

You are going to be surprised when you see how easy it is to match your old 12.9 with this new truck. Tuner, good air, a little prep, and some practice manual shifting, and you will be there.

Very nice. I've recently been regretting my quad cab and think I should have gone with a single cab. Like your plans for sure, keep us updated.

I had a 2013 4 door GMC w/ the 6.2 that I traded for this truck. It had a tune, intake, LS9 tb, kooks lt's w/ ory & magnaflow. I liked the truck but I'm a single cab type of a guy.
