My 2012 Ram R/T
Guess I'll introduce the truck in here since it has zero performance mods yet. Not much I can do to fix that until the encrypted tuning is cracked.
I picked this up new last Friday....has about 700 miles on the odo as of today.
Debadged it and changed the antenna as soon as I got home.
I had the new wheels and tires and suspension ordered before I even bought the truck.
Gunmetal SRT10 wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Zero Assimmetrico 305/40/22 tires.
McGaughy's 2/4 drop that I adjusted to a 3/5
Hellwig sway bars front and rear.
Spohn Performance rear link bars and adjustable panhard bar.
Adjustable QA1 shocks on all 4 corners.
Went to town on it yesterday.
Got the suspension done and swapped out the ugly *** Sport hood for a regular one.
Spohn link bars and QA1's
Spohn adjustable panhard and Hellwig bar. I gotta rework those brackets to get that bar level somehow.
I'm waiting on these 14" SSBC brakes now.....the calipers are being powdercoated before they ship them to me. I ordered matching rear rotors but there are no rear calipers available so I'll have a stock set powdercoated to match for now.
I have a high end SQ audio system going in when I have the time using Audio System X-Ion amps, Focal 3 way front stage and JL sub.
About that performance....
I'm in touch with Arrington Performance about a cam, blower and some other stuff. They have a 2012 Ram in now for R&D work on swapping the wiring harness and ECM back to 2010 parts so it can be tuned. If they pull it off I'll be sending the truck to them for a Magna Charger install and tuning. I'm at their mercy though....nobody else I can find is working on anything that in depth for these trucks.
Anyway...enough rambling. That's me and that's my new toy.

I'm hoping that 4 link can be put to good use. That's why I changed the bars to ones with urethane bushings, to get rid of the soft rubber bushed crap and eliminate any wheel hop. Hoping I can go full soft on the shocks too and transfer some weight on a set of drag radials in this short little bastard.
I need some power first though. lol
