Hi all, i'm aaron and i just got my 2011 ram 1500 at the beginning of the year. after i got it i noticed i had a pool develop in my cargo tray thing behind the seats after it rained. i then did the fix that i found online by replacing the stock seal around the 3rd brake light with a rubber seal i picked up at home depot. anyway, when i got the truck it was mainly stock with just a K&N intake. here is how it looked when i got it:

after a few weeks i took it to the dragstrip and ran 14.5s pretty consistently, haven't figured out the best way to launch this yet...

as of now i removed the steps that were on the outside and cut out the stock muffler and replaced it with a magnaflow unit. heres a pic of how it looks now:

It looks much better and cleaner like that. What track do you go to? I live about 10 minutes from palm beach raceway (Moroso)

Welcome. There are quite a few quick Rams in your area. I know a bunch of them are meeting up at OSW on Sunday.

Did that light rubber seal work to stop the leak. That sucks that it happen to you.

so far so good. i used the MD Building products Cellular Rubber Auto and Marine Weatherstrip that they sell at Home Depot. when putting the light back on it definitely fit a whole lot snugger and didn't leak with the garden hose test.

i had no idea they were open this Sunday... anyway, seeing how your truck is fast and your a vender what mods are usually needed to break into the 12s.

I went 12.49 with just boltons, gears, converter, and Hemifever tune. It's not hard to get there with the right combination of parts. Check out some of the videos below...we put the mod lists for each truck in the videos. It will give you an idea of what it takes to get in the 12s...
