Hemi 5.7
I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with a brand new 5.7 hemi in it. I was going to do the tmr delete and install the sonnax plug. I also would like to put a shift kit in and a tuner. Its lifted 6" with 37s. If I do the shift kit with this do any harm to my drivetrain because it has 37s? And would the tuner mess with any of the other mods? I searched a while for the answers and haven't really found much. Also is there any other mods or things I could do to improve performance besides tearing into the motor? Just got the engine in so not really wanting to cam it. Any and all help would be awesome. Thanks

*I accidentally posted this under truck of the month first so how do I delete that? Lol

Took care of that other thread for you.
As for the rest of your thread, I'll let someone with knowledge on shift kits chime in.

The shift kit wont hurt your drivetrain. it is just going to firm up shifts in your transmission for you. You shouldn't have any problems with it hurting your truck.

I got a short block from maabco motors out of texas. It was 1650 and 200 shipping. You'd still need that heads and I don't know what else. Heads are fairly expensive. Mines lifted with 37s and will still break the tires pretty easily
