2012 Ram Sport 5.7
WIN/TIPM right off the bat!
I bought it as the engine runs perfect.
Some preventive maintenance is in order and simple accessories, bull bar, nerf bars and shorty headers.
I already am happy, regardless of the many glitches, I have to rebuild everything we drive so why not something I actually enjoy?
Any thoughts on the Spectre CAI?

First, welcome from York County!

As to "any thoughts" i will simply suggest that our trucks and the Hemi
are very well computer controlled. Any bolt-on "improvements" are a waste of time and money *unless* you are doing it just for you, just because.

The computers will compensate unless you engineer an intake, and exhaust, a modified cam, and an expensive tune.

Our trucks will run like a r*a*p*e*d ape as is. Put an intake on it if you like the way it looks when you open the hood. Nothing more.

Just my $0.02.

Personally I think your truck looks really nice and rather bad-ass as it is!

 

[ManicRustMechanic]

Yeah,
I didn’t get the CAI. I did however, get the shorty headers to prevent the stud heat transfer, slight sound change.
I do have to agree, the truck will get you from A-B!

Welcome.

My older son in yer neck of the woods but real close to MD border. He just told me time to go out and snow blow.

Here we got 3” frozen sleet.

 

[ManicRustMechanic]

Yeah,
right on the border as well. All my equipment has frozen cables! Wheel Horse with rear blade dead in the water!
Managed to get old John Deere 1032 going then the throttle froze too!
I finished up, don’t want no frozen driveways, especially the downhill one!

Yer lil tractor and snow blower outta commission? That suks. That's an older tractor.
DIL sent me small Vid of my son snow blowing the driveway earlier. He is hoping Power stays on as he is not set up yet ref Genny wired in. He only moved there when he retired last year.

You're west of my kid.

I decided not to order CAI and stick to basic needs. The WIN/TIPM must be corrected.
I have mowers with crazy modules, node bs, what the hell are these engineers thinking! - - - wipes!
