Mod Money Decisions...

[Big Boi]

I will be changing out my plugs with OEM Mopar plugs and adding some BBK shorties here in the next week or so. Question is, I have a lil mod money left and cant decide what parts to buy. Gonna let you guys help me decide, LoL.

efan

Can I ask why BBK shorties? My understanding is they are largely a sound item and don't really free up much power, esp compared to LT headers.
Why not save the extra mod money towards LTs?
It's your truck and your money, just askin'

HaHaHa, they were free from BBK

Well damn, I can't argue with free!

Of the mods listed, I would go with the efan/tstat combo or the cutout. You will be wasting your money on the other intake options.

I got n/p with my k&n and it gets way more air then any other one out there after my personal touch

could a throttle body be an option?

 

[Big Boi]

It would only be a Moes 85 or S&B CAI

 

[09SMOKINHEMI]

both that CAI and the TB will pair nicely, but if i had to pick just one for right now, i would go with the TB, then the CAI. for CAI you can't go wrong with the S&B or Vararam

I would free up some horse power and take a little stress off the motor with the e fan

What is that 180 tstat thing in the options? Somebody send me a link to it on amazon please for a 2013 ram 1500 5.7L.

Ill go with the efan. I like how it cleans up the engine bay an the tstat is a nice addition

it is a 180 degree thermostat which runs cooler than the stock thermostat. i wouldn't go through amazon though for the thermostat.

I decide to go K&N and 180 tstat.

Why didn't our trucks come with a 180 tstat from factory? Too expensive? Are there long term engine concerns from using it?
