Hello all. Just looking for some help from my fellow ram ownerz an enthusiasts....
Is a throttle body worth its cost? headers? I don't necessarily want to race my truck i just want it to take off a little faster an sound a little better.

Trade your 4.7 in for a 5.7.

Turbo it! It's really not as hard as it seems, just need to "flip" one of your manifolds foward and weld the flange on then route oil.

Naturally you need to get it tuned after the hardware in on it.

i would do a supercharger before a turbo.

There are superchargers for the 4.7 available too

The supercharger kits are well worth the money for how easy they make the conversion. and they have various stages too, from ust the supercharger/intercooler/associated parts, all the way up to internal engine rebuild kits for larger boost applications.

I mean sure he could just throw away what he has and get a new one. But he could also put in the effort to make what he has better.:gy:

Throttle Body & LSD for 2 wheel traction
maybe upgrade to a ZF 3.92 differential, if you can find one reasonably priced

don't buy the throttle body spacer, they only work on carburetors

a better rear gear is the best bang for the buck to improve acceleration

this is correct.
