Default Hemi Test Drive

I think everyone in this forum knows I have the slowest truck,so today I
broke my own laws and Tried an 03 Hemi. It had 9000 miles and they wanted 19000 for it. I wasn't impressed at all, I thought it would be a screamer.
I don't think it had much more than my truck, mabe 3 or 4 tenths faster.
Going to sell my motorcycle's and make mine faster. I would be happy if I could
run into the 14's. Could I get my truck into the 14's without a bigger cam, headers or spray? Any help appreaciated Currently running 15.5 with a catback,
K&N drop in filter and HPTuner.

Custom tune,CAI and a converter should give at least 0.6 sec.

a converter will help you out a lot. just about anything that stalls up to 3K will get you close. then make your own cold air kit. efans if you don't have them and a underdrive pulley will def get you there.

Money is tight here, I would love to put a 6.0 in it then I know it would run.
Buy my bike and I'll be in the 14's for sure.

stall, intake, headers and tweak the tuning I would ask some other people on here to send you thier tune and compare yours then tweak it

oh I would do the shift kit at the same time as the stall

I could see those mods and more tuning to accompany them putting you into the mid 14's if you can get traction with those gears

for the money the best mod would be the stall and kit but in the end they will all work together
