Best Use Of 600$ Performance Wise?

FargoZ71 · March 19, 2009

I bought my 03 and it has a cat back dual exhaust, but the standard GM heavy duty air filter..

My thoughts on what would probably be best, since i still plan on towing a boat / trailer ect. would be to get a CAI, but in ND / MN it snow's and rains alot and im worried about water getting into my intake, and I like to hit the mud holes.

But in order i was thinking..

- Custom Tune

- CAI(or even just a K&N drop in)

- Corvette servo to the tranny.

Only reason i'm looking to do anything is cause my brother always gives me shit, and his 03 ram 1ton with a Cummings and chip runs about 16.5... So close to what i should be running right now, and even though he's older, i have to have my bragging rights and can't just jump to well my Rocket will go XXX.

Also looking to end the sluggish tranny shifting.

I think you should use some of that $600 to buy a baseball bat to crack your brother's knees for disrespecting your family by driving a Dodge!

Go with the tune!

Do the servo first, for about $ 20.00 your shifts will be much firmer. Get the tune done by Justin, at Black Bear Performance. As far as the CAI or drop in K&N ? I have the K&N drop in and I'm still on the fence about the CAI. But that's just my opinion FWIW.

And skip the the CAI just do a Airaid MIT and a drop in and your good to go for half the price.
