I've got an 05 Ram with the 5.7. It's already for a comp 273 cam, cai, pacesetter shorty headers, duel exhaust w/MagnaFlow mufflers, and 4.56 gears. What else do these engine respond well to? Who makes a good supercharger for these engines? I've had over 10 years in the LSx world, and now I'm onto the Hemi's and not real familiar. Thanks for the help.

Unless the 273 is already in the engine I would not recommend running it. It's a high rpm cam so unless you're planning a very high stall and a set of heads that will allow you to spin it to 7400 you'll be very unhappy with that cam given the weight of the truck

It's already in the truck. Seems to run pretty good with it besides some tuning issues.
