Hey everyone, I have a 2006 Dodge RAM 4.7L Quad-Cab. I'm wanting to Increase my gains on my 4.7L. Right now I am sitting @ 235hp, 295 torque. Looking to get somewhat close to a HEMI. So far for mods I can think of would be:

Flowmaster/Catback exhaust
Superchip Tuner
K&N Cold Air Intake 57 Series
212 Cams
4.56 Gears

I'm new to modding so If someone could please correct me If I am wrong and tell me what to do correctly :doh:. Or I am willing to do a HEMI swap If that's possible? So far I have heard for a HEMI, Transmission & Computer would run around $2000? Not Including Install (Wouldn't have no Idea to do It). Give me some Ideas! Thanks everyone! :smileup:

My suggestion, if you want hemi performance, detail her, and sell it. Then shop for a hemi. I know the last gen 4.7's had pretty good numbers, but the only way to get the power of a hemi would be a blower. Pretty expensive and not sure if the 4.7 internals would be up to taking boost. I've driven the 4.8 GM's and the 4.7 Tundras, they both felt pretty lacking to me, as well. Can't beat cubic inches in a truck.

From experience, I totally agree. Great advice.

So would any of the mods I have listed above even make a difference In my 4.7?

I agree with hydrex, buy a Hemi if you want performance don't mess with the 4.7. As for the mods you propose, waste of money. IMO.

Yes, they will make a difference. But in the long run you can make more power for less with a larger engine.

If you want to keep the 4.7, then I would suggest doing headers/intake/dyno tune first. Then do cams and gears.

Do as others have suggested, clean your truck up really nice, sell it and find a good used HEMI RAM to replace it. You're gonna spend an awful lot of money and not get the results you want.

Agree with what most people say here, I have a 02 1500 QC w/4.7 and im putting her up for sale to get myself a Hemi.
