Ok so assume you just purchased a brand new Ram with the Hemi and you were handed $5000 to start on some upgrades. How would you spend the cash, and in what order would you place the items, as far as importance?

My # 1 as well.

My order of importance?

1. JJ's lights
2. Back-up Camera (if not factory installed)
3. Weathertech Mats (Mines a DD winter mostly)
4. AMP Research Powersteps (Happy wife/happy life)
5. C-Can

The rest would be more of "Wants" rather than "Needs"

I have a lot of wants on my truck. The list is long for me.

Unfortunately, if you on a 5K budget.. 1, 2, and 4 with chew into that budget pretty good.

Heywood · Feb 3, 2014

Oh... and since your in Lloyd-sinister, Moe's is where you want to go for a lot of your stuff.

Don't bother with local too much. The prices are jacked pretty good here in "Oil & Truck Country"

If you want some specific's.... just shoot me a PM and I'll try to help out.

Birddog · Feb 3, 2014

I was actually wondering about trying to find some of the items on my wish list locally, but after hearing so many great things about Moes, I think I'm going that route.

Eargrub · Feb 4, 2014

Forgive my ignorance. I noticed nearly all of you mentioned a catch can. What's the benefit?

Hipps2000 · Feb 4, 2014

2nd and 3rd Moes best ported throttle bodies as well as all the mods u need, better make it 10000 lol :xmasorlyflag:

Catch the "goo"

I don't want to open a can of worms, but this is more to support or refute my understanding....aren't CAIs just a spendy noise maker and really don't offer all that much performance wise?

Caldwell · Feb 18, 2014

wow, 5K on mods !! I'd love my life lol.

Anzo Black HID Headlights
Catch Can
87mm Ported TB
Diablo Intune
Spray In Bed Liner
Tow Hooks
Zone 2.5'' Level w/ UCA's + Diff Drop Brackets
Top Gunz 3/4 Rear Spacer
305/55/20 **** Cepek Fun Country Tires
Rockford Fosgate Door Speakers
Dynamat

that's roughly about 5000$ by my math lol

On some intakes, yes. K&N and AFE mainly make a lot of noise without much performance to back them up. Vararam, S&B, and Volant have all shown measurable gains on these trucks both at the track and the dyno.

Vararam has given us the best results as it is the only intake that truly forces are into the motor. All the more traditional style intakes are still having to suck air out of the fender. They are still better than stock, but not quite as good as Vararam when it comes to performance.

Thanks! To piggy back, Vararam Air grabber or Hemi Ram Air? I'm getting the 6.4 2500.

Moe, how does the MOPAR CAI hold up to the other fender suckers? Obviously not compariable to the vararam but it was already on the truck along with mopar performance exhaust.
