Stock 2011 RCSB with a cat back. Always had it in my head to get a ported tb, and a hemifever tune. It's been 4 years and I might be getting a small exhaust leak. That's got me thinking maybe I finally go catted long tubes.

Then that really got me thinking, what would come next? Cam? Heads?

What's the "stage 2" for engine mods?

Following to know myself! I'd like to get into this engine like I did my 03 2500 Hemi. SRT valve springs and valves, and a few other things, I do know the 4th gen heads flow a lot more air. So I'm thinking of either getting into my 12 1500 5.7 more or just wait till I get a 2500, but I like the low look idea

I just did long tubes, TB, intake and a tune. Runs totally different and a lot more fun to drive.

Stage 2 would be cam/valvetrain.

Eagle heads flow well enough that unless you're increasing displacement your money would be better spent elsewhere

Would you mind elaborating a bit? What would I be looking at valvetrain wise?

Sure.

Im going to be swapping lifters to hellcat instead of mds. Valve springs and cam will be what Greene Racing recommends me since Jay is tuning my truck.

Heads don't seem to make power till your either boosted or stroker
