I have a 2005 QC current mods (that I know of)
-Bassani Headers
-Billy Boat Mids with high flow cats
-Billy Boat CatBack
-X-Metal TB
-Intake
-Shift Kit

I believe the truck is also cammed but i cant confirm it. I just know it sounds like it has a lope compared to the vipers in our family and the other srt10 ram's i drove.

Where do you think my truck sits hp/tq currently

The weight of the engine oil used will make a big difference in how it idles. I switched to 5w30 from 10w30 and it sounds like I went a size up in cam. The cam in our trucks isn't as docile as it sounds (212/232 .544/.544), but the fast bleed (Rhoads style) lifters make it sound that way.

I talked to the local Dodge dealer here in Schaumburg IL, and i was told that the motor was supposed to take 0W40 :/
 
It has 0w40 in it right now. I am getting an sct tuner and a roe tune in the next week or so as well.

oh and btw, it was a Silver QC buttt now its a murdered matte QC
 
Yes I do :)

and the monster on the bumper is only a bar mat on the truck for the car show, which btw it took best in class ;)

Bearing clearances call for a 40 weight oil. By using a thinner 30 weight your taking a chance on spinning a rod bearing because the bearing isnt able to float correctly on the crank. You dont have to use 0w40 if you dont want to but definitly need to use a 40weight. I use 15w40 in mine and oil pressure is GREAT and the savings on oil is AMAZING

Anyways thats just my theroy and my .02 cents + im sure those people called ENGINEERS did there research lol
