Just dropped off my 2010 Ram Hemi and I am getting a 260 comp cam, swapping out the K&N for an AFE, swapping my Bullydog out for a DiabloT1000 and also getting the HIDs 6k conversion for my Recon Halos and also fog lights. Thought id share my excitement looking forward to driving it!

Feel your excitement. Just ordered muffler delete, 180 Tstat, hellwig rear sway bar all from Moe's and tonneau, deezee tailgate kit and vent visors from auto anything.
Next is the Zone UCA'S, front leveling shocks and a Diablo. Still up in air whether I'm doing CAI, 87mm TB or torque converter.
I'm already having issues with trans seeming to slip and haven't even modded anything yet. Truck just runs like **** last two tanks of fuel.

Same guy who's done my other mods. Place in Tomball, Tx called 2929 customs. Leveling kit, drilled and slotted rotors, throttle body spacer, magnaflow, JBA headers and then recon headlights, tail lights, brake light.

You guys are having ALL the fun! :)
I am nearly at the end of my list of performance mods. There isn't much else I wanna do... I think our trannys are kinda week. Decided that I am just gonna let my tranny go to ****, and then put in a Sharadon w/VB and TC.

This one
SharaDon Performance - 545RFE STAGE - III Transmission
$2800.00
This is literally all the "BELLS & WHISTLES" we have to offer. Top of the line best known 545RFE transmission in the country. It comes with modified case to accept added clutch's which adds even firmer shifts and a longer life. This Stage - III transmission only comes with the Stage - III Valve body had been reworked to increase shifting firmness over the Stage - II and FIRM SOLID/HARSH shifts in every gear. This is the end of the line, there are no other options with this transmission. It literally comes with all the technology and (R and D) through track testing over the last three years. It has been track tested behind the Sharadon Performance 392 supercharged stroker. 1.59 60' [email protected] mph in a 5140lb Rumble Bee 4x4 truck. This is better then stock with many performance upgrades. A $1,000 REFUNDABLE "Core Charge" IS NOT INCLUDED.

^^^^YOU don't mess around!

That's a stout trans with a stout price tag.

I figure, instead of slapping valve bodys and torque converters on my weak stock tranny. Run it into the ground, and get a really good one "with all the bells and whistles."

Is that tranny excessive??

Please don't put a non-VVT Comp 260 into your VVT engine. I would not let your shop touch your truck if that's what they recommended...

^^ I trust they wouldn't do anything they shouldn't. I've been good business and will continue to be.

I really hope for your sake that you/they meant a 266VVT and don't forget the phaser limiter. Don't want a valve kissing a piston.

Lol I was saying the same thing in my head earlier just didn't want to be the first to point it out. That shop is not super far from me I'll have to watch to see how the tuning turns out with them maybe a answer to my dyno and tuning needs.

I looked at the stage II. I think the stage 3 is a little more track than street.
