A friend of mine has one, he says he cant find a tune for his 2012 model, thunder racing told him none available for the 11/12 models yet. His seems to be mid to high 5 second 0-60 and high 13/low 14 second 1/4. Yours seems to be running a little better than his. You take it to the track yet? They are great looking and running trucks, I would love to have one, but a 2 seater reg cab would be tough with a wife and two kids.LOL
In full weight, on 22" rims with a 2.08 60ft with tailgate and spare hotlapping, on stock transmission tuning it ran a 9.08 at 77mph. It was spinning bad though off the line.

BG did the tuning and currently is the only tuning source for 2011 Ram Trucks.



Transmission.... Well the 545RFE is a so so transmission. Damn thing is so computer controlled that is one little thing is off it can trash the transmission FAST! So a reputable tuner that knows 545RFE tuning is a must. They can hold 400RWHP though but tuning has to be spot on with these. Even from the factory they need adjusted

What happened to my tranny was smoked all the clutches. Since then iv read and found that with aftermarket clutches they hold up a lot better good for 600rwhp

Yep, Kolene steels and red alto clutchs, A Sharadon stage 3 VB, Good tuning, check the CVI, and do a quick learn and that will take you a long way with a 545RFE. Its making sure all those are working properly

Not so sure about that. Everyone I know with a 3rd or 4th gen Ram making ANY power is on their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th trans. Most guys that really push them just figure on swapping it out once a season.
