Am I missing anything???

[Picton]

Question for all...opinions please.

You can click on "my truck mods" link to see. However, I'll spell it all out for everyone. Here is the question. Am I missing anything without tearing into the engine?

K&N 63 Series Air Charger
Jet 180* Stat
Fastman TB (85mm with backside taper bore)
BT Catch Can
JBA Short Tube Headers with Stage 8 bolt kit
Re-worked exhaust...deleted factory y-pipe and ran tubes from cats to 2.5" in/out Borla DI/DO muffler (so, no y-pipe, or x-pipe, or h-pipe)
Resonators deleted
DiabloSport can tune.

Am I missing anything for no engine mods?

Maybe a catch can to keep that Fastman clean and an E-Fan to free up some ponies. I think your pretty well stacked though.

yep a moes throttle body instead lol!
Could also do a catch can, gears, supercharger

You need some aftermarket blinker fluid. It sounds silly, but man will your blinkers thank you!



Don't go with that boring DOT/OEM stuff:



...and don't buy this stuff!!! It's just lighter fluid with a blinker sticker on the front... trust me... Lighter fluid in your blinker fluid reservoir is a big mistake!

Other than all that, build looks pretty impressive!!!

 

[Picton]

Lol...Thanks guys...the one thing I forgot to mention is the BT catch can I have installed already! Lol. I'll edit my original post.

As much as I'd love a supercharger...just can't afford it man. It's like buying another motor!!!

Where might I look into these "E-fans"?

 

[UNBROKEN]

Honestly....I'd get an X or crossover pipe welded in. To do it right, run the truck hard and shoot the pipe with an IR heat gun....put the X or crossover at the hottest point. There's HP to be had for cheap.

Haha yeh was teasing on the supercharger lol..But yeh that's a good list of mods!

I haven't done one yet but Moe's Performance has a couple of different options and he is very knowledgeable with all of his products so I would start there, he might even be able to talk you into an 87mm throttle body lol.

Hey Trup you got a supplier for that? I have been looking for some.

 

[Gunz86]

Yeah I will also take some of that Blinko Premium, maybe I could hit up RetroShop for some new HID lights after I blew up the factory ones lol.

Thanks man! Yes, "deleted" means removed. I had the muffler shop take them off and add in regular pipe (slightly larger diameter) welded on the outside of the existing pipe.

Got JJ's 35w 6000k aftermarket lights already...they are awesome.

You should do a torque converter next...

Explain please...

 

[BlkRamRt]

on the regular rams you have a 2200-2300 torque converter on the rt version they have 2600 tc it allows to put the extra power to the wheels.

check out this old thread.

[Trupiano]

Torque converters also help retain some of the drivetrain lost due to the inefficient tranny design. Great idea blkramrt!

 

[audio1der]

What about changing the short tubes to long?
