You're welcome!

I've driven a few SRT10's and Vipers: I absolutely must have one. Under throttle, the sound in the cab is as if it's trying to suck you out of the Driver seat and into the intake.

Yes, the MDS on these trucks really does help the fuel mileage, part of my stroker suggestion. For sure on the exhaust manifolds, I seen a set of SRT shorties in the local classifieds for like $75. Those manifolds are well-respected for their flow but Folks throw them out anyway for headers. As a side note, I've mentioned it on here before, but the original 5.7 exhaust manifolds were reported by Hot Rod magazine to flow nearly as well as tubular headers. This was in '03 and that info came straight from Chrysler.

The actual solution to the gearing has been solved by Chrysler: the 8 speed. I have the 20's with 3.92's and no matter what, the party is over when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd. 1.67 to 1.0 is a big jump.

You should look for a Fourth Gen Ram R/T: 390 hp and Factory 4:10's.
