Best place to always start for preformance, sound, and fuel eff. is intake and exaust.... Get that beast breathing better.

By upgrading your intake and throttle body you'll gain torque and hp. When you start modifying your exhaust, it may help marginally in HP but your torque likely will drop by a small amount. Ignition is a small perf boost as well as the mopar performance PCM. Those are all good streetable mods. Cams or rockers are good mods if you can do them. Intake manifold and head work are other big performance boosters but they do shift power more towards the top end of the rpm range.
here are some sites to sift through:
www.krcperformance.com
www.hughesengines.com
www.v8performance.com

thanks I was going to do the TB but what is the best size to go with. Right now the truck has a flowmaster exhaust. I was thinking about the k&n intakes but I dont know which one is the best out of all theme out there and if it is even worth it. Is it true that I shouldnt put a supercharger on it with the main part of the motor all stock.
