10 k to invest in to your 1500!

ramguy11111 · Jul 4, 2017

I suppose this is the question...

Given 10k to put in to your 1500 for performance and look , what would your additions be .......

chrisp2493 · Jul 4, 2017

Stroker or boost

Farmer Fran · Jul 4, 2017

For me personally?

Whipple 2.9 Supercharger with supporting mods including a custom tune, tires and brakes.

You might be a tad over depending on the tuner and supporting mods but 10K would be a damn good start for 200+ "R"WHP

What tune and which brakes and tires would you do ? TY

Farmer Fran · Jul 4, 2017

I would have to do a bit more research on the matter but if you want big gains.... I.E. bigger injectors, custom tune, fuel pump...

But since I am not racing the vehicle I would retract my original post and say just get the "complete kit"
https://whipplesuperchargers.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=5
Listed at 7500 but I bet you can get it for a lot less ~6500 range

Tires - ~$700 installed
would be something along the lines of 3 season SUMITOMO HTR SPORT H/P to keep the power down. But again I would have to look at weight ratings of the tires because I tow a Travel Trailer.

Brakes - $650
I would need to do a bit more research on these also but I have had luck with power stop in the past. Like this kit
https://www.powerstop.com/product/power-stop-z36-kit/

So you are sitting at about ~8000 then you can do a complete exhaust or just a Cat back.

Here is my GTO from years past

10K and this truck would be mean as hell in the power, sound and stopping.

Rzrman328 · Jul 4, 2017

Probably supercharger.

Farmer Fran · Jul 4, 2017

May I ask more about your truck and application?

Year, make, model, cab, 2wd, 4wd? Truck details.

and what do you plan on doing with it? Racing, towing, off-roading?

Jake91 · Jul 4, 2017

Built trans, procharger, and supporting mods. Then 4 in lift and 35s if i have money left over

Yes just about to order it...

2017 Ram 1500 4x4 crew cab

- Not racing

-tow my fishing boat
-off road
-everyday get to work truck.

like it to sound loud and mean, perform well, and try to do decent on the fuel !!

- like to do a 3'' lift as well.

Thanks farmer fran

For a daily driver, my 4X4 sits high enough.

You should research Peddle Commander and Carven exhaust.

What trim level are you going to order?

Flip-er · Jul 4, 2017

Lift, Tires and Rims
Matching Topper
and the rest on a PRE paid gas card, lol
Well gas is a kinda mod, after all U have to have it to go

charonblk07 · Jul 4, 2017

That'd about cover my transmission swap. Either that or a low compression 392 block with Thitek heads, big valves, and roller rockers. I've already got the F-1A Procharger for it.

ExpressRules · Jul 4, 2017

If i was given 10K I'd just use it to pay down the truck to increase my equity. :happy107:

DRkNESS · Jul 4, 2017

For me as I e easily spent over $10,000 already lol. I would do a custom exhaust/header/ tune combo. Pair that with a solid set of rotors and brake pads. Do a Bilstein level up front and new wheels using my factory tires. Swap out headlights and foglights and call her done.

F.O.F

atc06jh · Jul 4, 2017

Probably take the $10k and save it......

Same here, or a really nice catch can

DRkNESS · Jul 4, 2017

Ok I may get bashed for this but I have to say it. Op asked what would we do to his truck, not what would we do using the money investment wise lol. I get it those of you with $10,000 would invest it, but if he wanted that answer he wouldn't ask it on this forum.

Thank you !!!

I didn't want to say it... I'd just like to hear some good suggestions and ideas that's all... Not invest it, buy gas cards, or a can catcher .

DRkNESS · Jul 4, 2017

Again I have to say for me I'm more about the looks then performance, so I would suggest starting there. Op do you like your current wheels ? If so maybe just look into a more aggressive tire. I always suggest the Pedal Commander as far as increased pedal response. Also posting a photo of your truck may encourage others to suggest based upon your question.
