Nothing on a Mopar will be cheap. You have to pay to play.

I just ordered a 180 thermostat. I'll start with that.

Intake, exhaust & a programmer

 

[Why So Serious?]

yeah the basic hp mods are CAI, exhaust, TB spacer, 180tstat, and a tuner. but even that isn't so cheap. You could think about headers too.

Don't waste your money on a TB spacer, The spinning air will never reach the gas via injection they are useless in a fuel injecting motor. That being said, I have one that the previous owner installed and there is absolutely no noticeable difference. Spend your money elsewhere.

As far as CAIs go, the popular ones are Vararam and S&B. I went with the S&B and couldnt be happier. Exhaust work, id stay away from the FlowMasters because most of em are chambered and most of the straight flows are really loud, unless you want that, but thats just me. Programmers, you really cant go wrong with DiabloSport. I have it and it really woke up the truck.
