as close to us as you are, feel free to come up and look at all of the different things you can do to your ride. we always have a 3 or 4 projects of various degrees going on, so you can touch, hear and feel all of the different mods, as well as see them perform on the road and on the dyno

Why are you all here at my house looking concerned? I don't have a problem. I said I don't have a problem!! I just need one more mod, then I'm done!!
My .02 worth on your 15k worth:
You're in 12k territory for a bullet-proof short block build (including a cam), leaving 3k for headers, mid-pipes, cat-back, and NOS.
How about 7k for a pair of Strikers and valve covers. Another 5k for cam, headers, mid-pipes, cat-back, CAI, and installation. Then top it off with a VECIII, fuel delivery system upgrades (rails, injectors, pump, return line), and dyno tuning.
That would make for a nice N/A setup, and still be fairly low profile to boot. You'd have somewhere around 650hp+ at the crank, all day long. My build with the Strikers, cam, and headers made something like 618hp on a factory tune and fuel system, and a reduced compression ratio. With a good tune you could be approaching 700hp territory, and still look fairly stock. You get that to hook and you'll shock the sh!t out of a lot of people.:rock:

The SRT-8s are fast. esp. the Jeep Grand Cherokees. I don't know what he had for mods but it was VERY close race (I won, but not by much).

Exactly! I am somewhere around 620 hp at the flywheel with ported OEM heads. With the Strikers you'd be up around 650. :rock:Ram From Hell said:
This where I think I want to go....strong N/A engine then maybe FI......though I have not closed the door to the SC to begin with....hmmmmmm..:dontknow:

Keep asking questions and look at what others have done and learn. You dont want to waste cash on mods that might not work with your final setup.

Here is my idea for you:
1. SC or NOS the truck.
2. 426 the Charger.
BOOM! Money well spent!
