Parish if you want a real challenge, make a new Ram run fast lol You've already got the GM performance thing in the bag, try one of these.

The quickest Ram to date is a low 12 sec one... and everyone's been just spraying the stock engine and adding small bolt ons. With some Parish turbo ingenuity and a built bottom end you could be a pioneer for the Ram's running quick times.

thats prety funny, i have thought about doing one and the bigest reason would be because no one is doing it yet.

i see all the dodge guys saying stuff like "as soon as we can control the computer we will be able to make the big hp." i find that part real interesting. i(geek ) would just slap a megasquirt on the thing and have control of the motor part at least. i am sure there would be some tricky new things to figure out. it would be fun to find the power limit of the new 5.7hemi. i wouldn't be too suprized if it turned out to be as sturdy as the gen3 motors.

ahh screw it, what am i thinking. i am a GM guy. even if dodge has all the cool looking cars right now.

I don't know, Duner has done some pretty cool stuff with the Dodge's and boost!

here's a thought for ya. how about one of those 1500 Chevrolet Express vans in an awd. order it with a 4.8L or 5.3L with the awd and put in a 408 with your turbo. man would that be a killer street racer.

i think it'd be killer to beat some 1000+cc bike with a cargo van. plenty of room for sponsor stickers too.

canyons have some nasty *** fender shapes, otherwise the grill looks pretty cool, like a mini silverado. I think your truck still has potential (twinssss!!) get a four link in that thing and work that motor to the max. Ever thought diesel? 100psi boost and torque like mad???? Either way we will be here supporting you.
oh ya, you gona upgrade to megasquirt V3???
