I'll lay odds you easily hit the 12's once the DA drops VB.Still think you should do like Shane and hit it with a mid size 100 or 125 shot,you'll be low 12's then,lol.

My last truck I did LTs, high flow catted b pipes, cat back, CAI and a custom tune (and a lot of other crap) it really made it fun to drive and was reliable. On my ram I’m just doing shorties (shorties plus the factory sport exhaust sounds great) as soon as the manifold bolts break and maybe a pedal commander.

Just throwing in my $0.02.... I've got a '14 CC 4x4 3.92 8speed, factory 20's, LT, TB, Greene Tune, K&N, 160tStat, clutch fan delete, exhaust cutout, with weight reduction, ran 13.9. Then added 150shot, and got to 12.9. Really not sure that we've gotten everything dialed in just yet... but, I'm a total amature at all of this, especially the N2O. It's difficult for me to read all the logs and try to communicate all that to Jay for tuning. Plus, right now, last time I went, I think I'm stuck with a false-knock tuning me back... but, again, it's a heavy truck!

Umm, I never thought it would be this difficult to get REAL people that have turned their trucks into 13 second rides. I guess I'll just follow youtube. I have proposed a combination to 2 tuners. they all said it can be done relatively easy. I was just looking for PROVEN results not This can do it bs from someone that has no clue but has a theoretical "tune up" that SHOULD do it. I guess the real performance minded RAM owners are somewhere else or not willing to share . Oh well thread closed to me

I have a 2018 Ram sport CC 4X4 with 3.92 gears. Looking to improve from low 15's to the 13's if you have a combo that has gone 12.9 I will not hold it against you. Lots of ways to skin a cat, but something proven is what I am looking for. I don't want this to turn into a whos tuner is better than whos. If you would prefer to PM me that would be appreciated as well. Thank you! Let the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ spending begin. Go!
Rip out your leather seats and up-graded stereo with subwhoofer and send it to me-I will send you a lawn chair and earbuds--that should shave off a little time and make me and my RAM happy!! Cheers!!!

Spend 8/9g's on a c5 vett and use your truck to pull it to the track. 13's all day. Will run for ever. And your lifters won't eat your cam. Which is normal by the way. Sorry just playing my truck weighs 7500 it will never be fast

Check out High Performance Rams on fb,seems like the majority of guys with quick trucks are kicking around facebook more then the forums these days. Sounds like you already have experience with the Edelbrock blower,even with no supporting mods it should put you deep into the 13's depending on where you are and how good the DA gets for you.Price out a cam and all it's supporting mods / long tube headers / True bore throttle body etc ,the blower idea might not be all that far out to lunch pricewise .Full bolt-ons with a 1.5HL Greene cam puts my 4X4 into the very low 13's at 3500 ft+ DA.

20 or so posts, and pontificating already.

"REAL", love that phrase, like the Almighty Arbitrator of Reality has decided. Usually some clueless, self appointed ******* but I digress....

There are those who have done insane builds and posted up on this and other forums. As expected, there are not that many of them.
Coincides with the fact that of those who would spend both money and time , for such things,not many would waste a second posting it to the internet, they would be too busy building and testing their Creations. Not that there all that many of folks who do that either. Fringe few but not a large percentage of the Masses.

The Masses watch those guys who actually "Do".

So, use your search feature, on this and other forums.
Do some research/work, of your own, and learn from those efforts and experiences, rather than ask for opinions and subsequently shoot down, denigrate and disregard those kind enough to offer some thoughts.

No need to reply, OP. I am done with this thread and will no longer see any post of yours, in the future.
Ignore Feature is another powerful tool on this forum.

I would love to see you post a 13 sec run-and I will watch it over and over!! I just would rather someone else spend the cash to make it happen--I know it can be done even in the 12s Its going to take some bucks to do it right and safely. I applaud you for choosing a RAM to kick ass!!!

Maybe Hydroblue will come back and join us-and hopefully with a video of his truck doing a 13sec or less--- I would watch it---this site has been so helpful for me with practical advice on everything from oil to wax. But I also love seeing RAMS ripping down the track doing the quarter mile!!!

Join one of the Ram facebook pages and i'll post a video of my 4X4 up against a Hellcat on drag radials at Castrol/Edmonton,he did get me but not till well past the 1,000ft mark,i pulled away from him out of the hole,lol.I have a couple buddies with 6 speed Kittycats that won't race my truck anymore,if they're on the ball they can usually catch it just before the lights,but not by much,i guess it's slightly embarrassing when a 4X4 runs damn near the same numbers as their 6 speed Hellcats,the A8 Hellcats usually out run me by about a 1/2 sec though.I don't do pics or video's on here.
