I have intake, superchips and exaust on the truck now, all for about $1300 give or take. Each one made huge changes. Looking for the next project/upgrade on my 5.7L. Not just for myself but for everyone else. Please list cheap $ (not in quality of course) projects that will make notable changes in performance. Cheap is relative, so maybe things under $1000.

gears or headers is next logically... but after that, a cam with supporting mods (6.1 springs and install kit) can be had for around $1000 or less... if you can do the install yourself.

What he said... Also Nitrous can be had for less than $1000 but then you have to consider all the fill ups.  ____________________________________________________ MY RIDE 2004 1500 Hemi RCSB\Inertia Motorsports Spartan Cam\Inertia Motorsports CNC Ported 5.7 Heads\AEM Wideband A/F Gauge\SCT TUNED\Flex-A-Lite Electric Fan\180 Thermostat\Shorty Taylor Wires\NGK 5306 Plugs\aFe Cold Air Intake System\Long Tube Pacesetter Headers\Cat Delete\Dual DMH Electric Cutouts\Magnaflow X Pipe\True Duals with 2 AeroTurbine 3030's dumped\Motive 4.56 Gears with LSD\SharaDon Performance Stage II Transmission with Stage III Valve Body\Edge 3000 Billet Torque Converter\Cal Tracs\McGaughy's 2/4 Drop Click here for pics and couple vid's of my truck! |

I live in Alaska and the truck already is pretty darn cold in the height of winter. Especially below the 40 below F mark. Are thermostats easily changed?
