Hi guys! First off, yes I'm a girl and yes I love my ram lol. Anyway, I have a 2016 ram 1500 5.7 mods mbrp catback, cold air intake, 180 t-stat and 87mm ported throttle body and a Diablo tune. Now I'm saving up for long tube headers(which will be awhile) So just wondering if you guys know anymore not so expensive bolt on's or any type of mod that wpuld give me more power. Thanks [emoji4]

A pedal commander will give you way better throttle response and the truck will feel faster. A programmer with a tune would be a good mod. We are running 20% OFF Pedal Commander right now!

When your ready for Headers let me know. we have great pricing on Stainless Works and Kooks.

PM me for forum discounts!

Highly recommend the pedal commander. It'll make the truck move like you wouldn't believe.

No doubt Pedal Commander from Nick was my best mod and best bang for the buck upgrade...

Oh I forgot. I also have a Diablo tune

I won't say it's a "complaint", but as of this moment, I'm not "thrilled" with my PC. I've been playing with it for a month or so, mostly in City mode. Sport was a bit much, and Sport+ was almost uncontrollable for me. At the moment I've gone the other direction to Eco mode to see if it makes a difference in MPG. If not, I'll probably ditch it and continue the search.

It does increase the pedal response, don't get me wrong. But I seem to adjust to whatever the pedal is doing, and pretty soon I can't tell the difference.

Right on. I'm mildly surprised that didn't put the oomph back in it. I just started using the hemifever tune and it completely changed the dynamic of truck.

Hipps2000 · Dec 13, 2017

Hi I have a 13 with every bolt on and ARH longtubes. I also run hemi fever 93 custom tune with a pedal commander. I bought it from Sean at hemifever, he will also send you a new custom tune with throttle blast dialed back to zero to utilize the pedal commander. I would start with a pedal commander I run it daily in sport 3! I have also installed an ATI dampener pully with the v6 efan, thus eliminating the clutch fan off the motor. Opens up the engine bay some and truck runs a bit smoother. I installed the 180 Tstat at same time truck runs 185. I also highly recommend ceramic coating the long tube headers inside and out. I had mine coated for about $300. Since you have a 16 and a custom tune, I would talk with hemifever about tuning your 8speed tranny. The 13/14s are still locked as I am patiently waiting! This will make a big difference as well! Awesome Mindy that you know your stuff...don’t get many girls with modded rides here lol!

Also any pics of your ride

Graygoose · Dec 13, 2017

I love my pedal commander. I couldn't imagine going back stock.
Lets see the truck...!

R/T_Fire · Dec 13, 2017

Might look into doing some of the supporting mods, not much of HP gains but help keep the throttle body clean with a catch can, swap out to the V6 fan set up and ditch the clutch fan

CTD · Dec 13, 2017

Like Hipps said, if you don't have the trans tune yet from Hemifever that would be a good next step and will only run you $75 bucks.

Hipps2000 · Dec 13, 2017

Yup transmission tune and a pedal commander and hold on! Lol
Then good set of headers ceramic coated with high flow cats and you are good! Stock manifolds are ****.

I also run the magna flow 16869 cat back system with a QTP e-cutout when I want to run it open header!!!

Never heard of this. What does it do?

It's a resistance harness that plugs into the trans. Long story short it will give you firmer and quicker shifts. I have the Trinity and I think 4 custom tunes now from Sean (hemifever) and shifts were 100% improved but still a little sloppy at times and had just a little to much lag. This fixed that along with my tuning, it shifts perfect now quick and firm with zero harshness. Sonnax claims it extends the life of the trans as well but that's there claim not mine, and they're cheap [emoji869]

This new software I tend to see topics on the recent threads that interest me and get involved with the habit of not checking generations or people's years lol so I started typing sonnax and then saw your year and figured ahh what the hell [emoji23] so I'm not 100% they make em for your trans but I believe they do
