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

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.
