I'm looking for a performance shop that specializes in giving a 2005 hemi beast-like horsepower.

Right now I have a cold air intake, dual magnaflow exahusts, aftermarket shorty headers, and a diablo tuner. Also a BDS 6" lift sitting on 35" mud grapplers.

The shops I've been working with are general repair/mechanic shops and lack the experience to get me to the next level. I don't have the experience to know precisely what needs done or in what order.

I know I'd like to get a cam/heads package with a bolt kit and most likely roller rockers. I'd want the stuff installed, dyno'd, and custom tuned. (i'm running stock 91octane diablo tune right now, and its puking) It needs to be tough, very tough, and reliable. I want whoever is working on it to work under the assumption that it will see WOT every day. These are things I've found based on talking with others as a good place to start adding horsepower and reliability. Though I'd want someone with specialized knowledge about this truck and this engine to help me get where I want to go.

When I had my headers replaced, I had bolts falling out after a thousand miles and various exhaust leaks. (which I'm still plagued with)

I want a shop that stands behind their work, and will make sure this is done right. I'm tired of dealing with people taking my money and not performing the service required.

Is there such a shop out there?

IDK out there. Depending on how good you are with a wrench ya could do most of the stuff you listed if you order it as a cam/head combo. The tuning is gonna be your hang up unless you do a CMR tune.

It's obvious to me that nobody within a hundred miles has the skill to do what I want. I'm not a wrench hand and I don't enjoy working on my truck. I enjoy using it.

I wouldn't be opposed to traveling to take it somewhere, so long as I knew I would be treated right and would STAY TOGETHER afterward.

With your location, Sharadon Performance in Minnesota is probably your best bet. I know its not right around the corner, but they have done some amazing tings with these Hemi trucks. They offer their own ported heads and will help get you setup with a custom cam that is ground specific to your truck and driving habbits.

Here is a link to their site...

SharaDon Performance - Hugo, MN 651.426.0061

Tell them Matt from Moe's Performance sent you, and they will get you taken care of.

Gears need to be at the top of your list with those tires

Stop looking for roller rockers, nothing available for our engines.

Get some grade 8 Locking bolts from Moe's performance and your header problems will go away.

I got ahold of sharadon.

Heading over there on the 14th for gears, drive shaft, and a custom tune. Should be a good start.

I might work a torque converter in there if I can afford it.

go look on hhp's website. they do great frickin work, really knowledgeable guys; specalize in mopars. just about anything that can be done on a 5.7, or the srt8 cars can go on your truck, so you dont need to look at just ram stuff on websites. tq converters do wonders on these trucks, but id save up and get a good cam, p&p head combo. supposed to get somewhere in the neck of 100 at the wheels with the right tune.

Awesome!! You are going to be very happy with the new mods. Just a heads up on the converter though...Edge has a 4-5 day build time right now, so you may need to order it soon if you want to have that done on the same day.
