new to performance and lots of questions

[k1ng87]

so I'm new to this whole performance thing and have been doing some reading on the forums around intakes, headers, mods, etc...Not sure how high level this is but if I wanted to get close to pumping out 500hp out of my 14 5.7, how hard is that to do? Anyone know what kind of work this would take? On another question, how hard would it be to get it over 400hp?

may be this ProCharger Supercharger Systems for the 2011-2014 5.7L HEMI Ram

Look around Matt posted a truck that had full bolt ons and it dyno close to 400hp then install a nos system. The only problem might have trans issues

500 to the wheels? or at the crank?

 

[Hemi450hp]

500hp to the wheels is going to take about 8lbs of boost or full boltons and nitrous. Do you want a high dyno number or a fast truck? Those are 2 very different things. My lower hp truck outruns many of the high dyno number trucks that you will see online. There is a lot more to making a truck fast than just making more power.

Mr. Moe, one day, when life and Uncle Sam stop f***in with my wallet, I will slap on the ol' mufflex, vararam, TB and HF tune. Perhaps Christmas 2015?!?! I think I will do that. Wake her up a bit under the ol' hood.

+1 and plan on a tranny too!!!

not really interested in dyno numbers.....more interested in getting it faster...

Do you have a 6sp or 8sp transmission? And what gears do you currently have in the truck. That's all I need to know to get you setup with the best combo of mods for your truck.

Its very easy to make these trucks quick with the right combination of parts.

Easy, call Matt, give him your numbers off a brand new opened CC, and the ship to address...done.

"Going fast costs money, how fast do you want to go?" Very true and wise words to remember. Matt can make it less painful than most other people.
