I was all geeked out and ready to put a 4.10 gear in my truck I asked the owner of the shop the price He kinda giggled at me and said in that I replied Yes in that. He said 1,400,Dollars will buy a lot of gas these days my chin dropped he said being a 4Wheel drive I need two duhhh. Guess he makes sence.One in back and in front. Well talk about pissing in someones cheerios Geeezz!But anyhow it got me thinking I balieve I will Take Mr.Kolwiskis Advice and drop a HO or maybe a 602 cam in it If I do the cam I will change the intake also Agian HO most likely.I did find out I have 3.92s in it now so 4.10 would not of been that big of diff.I balieve I owe Mr.kolwiskI an opalogy I should listen and learn from folks that know these things not call them Cheap Because they go on facts. 2003 Dodge dakota Q Cab 4.7 KN Cold air SuperchipsTuner Gibson 3inch side swep axhaust System Gibson headers Bassini Y pipes Bassini High Flow CAT.

Nice to see some are paying attention and learning from this site; I've learned quite a bit here myself over the years. I think you'll be pleased with the cam swap Josh - I didn't dyno, but seat of pants feel was that the cam swap gave me about as much of a gain as the custom PCM flash (likely similar to the gain you got from superchips). That was with the HO cams, you'd see more with a bigger cam. Many of us have done this ourselves, let us know if you'd like tips on how to get around needing the specialty tools some think they need. The timing chain wedges can be easily cut from wood; you won't have to disassemble much in front of the engine if you use these to make sure the timing chain adjusters don't move. The job is a bit involved, but getting the valve covers on and off is really the hardest part. If you see a post from Graphite Dak (he posts lots of great info), clicking on his signature will get you a link to where he did a great write up on this swap with lots of good pictures.
BTW, I'm so cheap I sprung to have gears changed in both axles, but I had the 3.55's. ;-)

Oh yea forgot to tell you Mr.Kowalski I started thinking about the Y pipe was gonna go with just the Magnaflow I started thinking why not go another mile Found a massini y pipe syatem wich is right off the headers all the way down to the high flow converter. [came with system] It was costley but you were right the y pipe makes a big diff.It was costly set me back 450.00Its sweet the i wont pass imission test hot but it will cold.Michigan dont have emission test anymore anyway.Anyway thanks for advice again.

The cam and chip will work quite well together - they aren't really doing opposite things, so much as different things. Engines can be thought of as having 2 "brains". The elctronic brain is the PCM - it decides how much spark advance the engine gets, and has an effect on fuel mapping, and often some transmission shift characteristics. This is what the superchips helps. The cam can be thought of as the engine's mechanical brain - controling the breathing - the timing and amount of the charge going into the cylinders, and influencing much of an engines power characteristics. The intake will have some effect on this too. You will definitely benefit from both, possibly more so than the sum of either mod done alone. In science, when things work so well together that its better than the sum of either alone, its called a symbiotic relationship - and that is often how well planned engine mods work. That's why you'll sometimes hear people saying mods should be planned to work as a total package. Glad to hear your exhaust mods worked out well; you're off to a very good start on a well planned, modified package !

Josh,
I am running the HO Cams and Superchips and they compliment each other very nicely. You will be happy.
