I put a k&n sticker on my window gained 50hp running 8's now and mom said I couldn't handle the v8 phhhh.....

1. big wheels 2. pedal commander 3. catch can 4. resonator 5. tb spacer

I just took the HEMI emblems off and added 345 emblems...what a boost in power !

🤣 Catch can isnt a performance mod! Its just for reliability and keeping engine clean

How much Horsepower does the booster seat give you

I agree with everything except the catch can. It won’t help you go faster, but it will help the longevity of your motor.

Now for the best mods 1 Buy a programmer 2 Buy a K&N air filter (do not need to replace the factory air box) 3 Delete Cats 4 Replace stock muffler with Flowmaster Super 40 5 Shorty Headers 6 Remove mechanical fan and replace it with Flex a Lite model 183 electric fan kit for Ram 1500

Pedal Commander is awesome. If you cut your teeth on carburetored engines and like the instant response from your gas pedal then this product is for you. I drove my 2012 5.7L Hemi for almost 58,000 miles before install of the Pedal Commander and there is a ridiculous difference. I was hugely skeptical before I bought it. I did some research and decided to buy it. It’s as responsive now as any old carbureted engine I ever owned. There’s 36 levels of adjustment too for customization of your pedal to your liking. I can’t say a single bad thing about this product. Period. Anyone I’ve ever known to install one has been insanely happy too. That’s my experience with that product and many others. Throttle response is critical and when you jam your foot to the floor and there’s a crazy delay and you don’t feel the raw power that you should feel coming from a Hemi, order one of these and then let’s see. I’ve turned my vehicle into a beast with just one of these. K&N cold-air kit a little while later and my truck feels, sound, (sounds way better with cold air kit) reacts like a whole new vehicle. Next will be a CNC 5 axis ported throttle body (85mm Moes Performance) a couple high flow catalytic converters and flowmaster cat back American Thunder or Outlaw exhaust system. Then my daily driver/work truck will be done besides a lower temp thermostat and maybe a few other things.

I took off everything from the cats back and i like the way my truck sounds. Definitely louder.

Just a note on the resonator for the 5-speed Ram, if you delete the muffler and leave the resonator on you won't get back popping like a regular straight pipe and it sounds like a glass pack exhaust. Quiet at idle, but barks like hell when you get on it. Cost me $30, sounds like $1,200

#1 big injectors #2 big fuel pump #3 forged pistons and rod conectors #4 big turbo and intercooler #5 good tune for all mods #6 keep kicking some ass in the road.

#1 mod for good performance? Baby Seat!

Watching your channel, inspires me to mod my Ram.

1. Wheels are for looks. 2. Pedal Commander is for feel, takes away the sluggishness of stock cars. 3. Catch can is to keep engine clean for those who wants hundreds of thousands of miles. Engines degrade over time, catch cans help. 4. Resonator I think is stupid but w.e. 5. Tb spaces does increase air if you have intake, major upgrade no but I won’t void warranty and makes cool sound.

The "catch can" collects the oil mist. Its not a horsepower generator but preventative maintenance. I have clean valve and combustion chambers from using it. Thanks and have a great day!

Catch cans are honestly really cheap, if you have a forced induction car or truck they are very useful catching blowby oil. It keeps it from being returned back into the intake manifold. You will never gain power from a catch can but you will maintain your engine and cleanliness within the intake manifold, throttle body and combustion chamber

I have the Pedal Commander and love it; without it there's a lag in response but now it just rolls...

never let somone , especially on youtube , tell you how to build your truck . it’s your money and it’s your truck

The resonators are actually there to cut down on the cabin noise lol.. the only thing that happens by taking them off is it’s louder in the cabin but not outside or.. more so on larger cab versions.. it’s specifically for keeping the exhaust sound out of the cabin as much as possible. People think it helps cause it’s louder in the drivers seat lol

Added gun rack, now turning 12's!!!

Re: Catch can - the reason the manufacturers don't put catch cans in is that the oil flowing back into the intake won't come back to bite them via warranty - the effects will really start to show up post-warranty. Using the argument 'the manufacturer doesn't do it so it's a waste' is flawed - the manufacturer doesn't have the consumer's interests in mind UNLESS it impacts the manufacturer's bottom line.

Dude, I’m 58 years old , first truck ever. I’m hooked. I’m starting a new mod list.

Catch can isn't really about performance in the direct sense, it's about preventative maintenance on direct injection engines to prevent valve "caking". A caked up valve will indeed inhibit airflow, and oil mist can screw with octane, but it's mostly to prevent DI engine valve caking..

If you have a 2019 1500, deleting the resonator does make a difference when also deleting the muffler. Look inside the 2 resonators. They are designed to make the truck quiet.

#1 mod, I have a 2016 with black interior and changed to a black headliner, all interior window trim pieces and all headliner trim panels. Looks great. Went to see the new 2019 Ram and, voila, they now make the headliner black....much better and matches all interior colors much better than the light grey.

They don't put a catch can in from factory because most wouldn't want to keep up with maintaining it. Pedal commander isn't a performance mod, def a driver experience mod. BUZZ killer - I'm ordering a throttle body spacer right now

Haha catch can is for keeping the intake valve from becoming filthy not for performance lol

You are correct. The only thing I disagree on is the TB spacers. My 05 hemi Rams throttle response is noticably better after installing it. Unsure about newer models though

Catch cans dont come factory because of emissions it's to catch oil from blowing back through your engine for a cleaner exhaust gas nothing to do with performance it's about keeping your top end from developing sludge and carbon deposits in the combustion chamber

I like my touchy pedal. It is a bit over priced, but I use it for eco mode lol

thanks as a new 4th gen owner just bought a used one and i appreciate this video. lots of info

I have never used a pedal commander, but everyone who has one raves about it. Furthermore, my jaguar f pace has 4 different driving modes (dynamic, normal, eco, snow/rain) which are very distinct as far as throttle response. The difference between normal and dynamic is night and day! So if the pedal commander is anything like that, it’s absolutely worth the money.

No extra mods needed simply superchip it get the most out of your hemi

I would argue that the throttle commander is not a waste of money. It's nice to have a responsive throttle instead of the lag

The throttle body spacer is mrant to increase torque and that is about all it does. So people saying they have better throttle response, that is what you are feeling is a slight torque response. No different than adding a spacer underneath a normally aspirated carb.

The first mod was my exact set of wheels and similar tires😆 I don’t go fast I just cruise around on dirt roads and stuff. I want to go fast but speed parts are not cheap. Cool channel glad I found it.

Lol, pedal commander. My friends hate mine, watching my rear end as I destroy them off the line. Best 250 I ever spent. Haters gonna hate.

A catch can Isn't for performance, it's about keeping your engine clean. I have one on my 5.7 and It's half full.

I agree with you 100% but I have the roar pedal I personally love it because the throttle of the stock throttle is so laggy and I need it a touchy pedal.

If your going to take your ram pick up to the track upgrade your fuel system & add procharger&are a supercharger&are a big single turbo&are twin turbos&intercooler&add true headers&true dual exhaust minus your stock muffler,ram air intake.more aggressive tires for the track (cause spinning isnt winning) resurface your heads&bore&stroke your engine &change the cam.&add direct&are sequential fuel injection are go old school with a big double pump carb&tri-carb setup(3 duece)

Time out... oil catch can may not be a "performance mod" but the 5.7 hemi is notorious for blow by. I put one on my daily driver charger... it has kept so much oil from going back in my intake. I dont even race it.

Catch can's are over for like turbo or supercharded applications, its to catch the oil pushed out the case by boost

Catch can is for blow-by at high boost and to keep the crank case vapors out of your intake.

Don’t delete resonators, they help prevent drone and are straight through anyways so no performance impact. Save your money on a full catback system, just get a direct replacement muffler from Flowmaster. I’ve got the American Thunder, it sounds great-not too loud and no drone! If you want louder, you can get the Outlaw.

Accurate summary. Well done.

You’re wrong on the catch can but yea it’s not meant to be performance

Carburetors and old Throttle body injection units used spacers effectively however they were completely different from newer fuel injected dry intake systems.

I recently got a Pedal Commander for my '16 Ram but definitely not for performance. The acceleration is quite a bit smoother which is exactly what I was looking for. Expensive? Somewhat, but as long as someone knows what it's going to do for them, I think it's worth it.

I do agree about the resonators, Even if you cut them off, there is still a muffler and the rest of the exhaust system upstream that will cause the vehicle to perform the same.

Any full sized RAM 1500 is NOT a drag strip vehicle...They're simply too heavy...WTF are these guys thinking?..If you wanna go fast, get a Challenger or something much lighter than a RAM truck...If you must race a RAM, get the 2WD single cab version..They're a bit lighter without the front diff and transfer case.

I added a Vortx spectre throttlebody spacer on mine along with a k&n true cold air intake and a super chip programmer and I love the way it performs. Next step is a magna flow stainless steel mandrel bent exhaust system from the headers back.

Just printed my return label for my Ebay cold air intake.

Cold air intakes are the biggest rip offs.

So, I've added BBK shorty headers and a magnaflow muffler delete. Which should do next? Throttle body or cam?

Besr and cheapest performance mod is painting your calibers red. Adds an extra 50 HP for the price of a can of red spray paint.

Ram 2019-2020 1500 has a catch can built into the upper cover that prevents oil introduction into the intake.

I have a 2011 Ram i have knobby tires on stock rims. More of a go anywhere kinda truck guy rather than track. Won't lie sport truck builds are crazy fun. But these mod do nots were still helpful. Ill just wait until I can get my outlaw series system 👍 sounds like more sound for the wrench work.

"I've ran consistent times at the track without a catch can" ....freaking gold. hahahah

catch can isnt for performance its to keep the oil from recirculating. cars dont come stock with it because you cant expect the average person to empty them so often

You won’t notice any gains from a bigger throttle body till you can get more air in and out of the engine. I’d get a performance exhaust, cam, and intake manifold before a bigger throttle body.

The resonator does make a noticeable difference on the 4.7s

I bought a device from acclope does the same thing as pedal comander and roar pedal for $85 made a signicant difference off the line well worth the $85 to me made my 2013 ram alot more fun to drive along with a few other things I`ve done tuner good air filter flowmasters on low mileage replacement engine and good gas got a heavy truck to move out a lil fater than it did before it`s my work truck might as well enjoy driving it

As for the throttle body spacers, it depends on the vehicle, I put one on my '92 K1500, I believe it was an airraid with the helical inserts, best thing I've done to it hands down, I doubt it makes any more power or mpgs but the throttle response is 10x better, but then again it's a 190hp shitty flowing 350. Just depends on the vehicle.

I’m glad I watched this LOL I bought a 2010 and had the resonators removed because when they installed my Flowmaster 44 he said he would do it cheap since it was already on the rack. So I had it done but I never did get a comparison. But after listening to you and watching a couple more videos I’m not wasting $200 or whatever it cost. I’ll probably just get the outlet plug and play

So having a more responsive truck is just a touchy pedal ??? Pedal commander is awesome and worth the $300 IMO !I have a 2019 Ram 1500 when getting on the parkway the lag was terrible ! Now the truck goes when i say it goes !

Well actually it might depend on the brand I bought an AFE throttle body spacer and I can hear a cool whistle around 3000 rpm that alone is worth it tbh it felt a little more peppy too maybe it’s only in conjunction with the Vararam air grabber intake I bought

Same here I like the tires on my truck . it's fast the way it is 🇨🇦🇨🇦

My truck can get lazy sometimes when I step on the gas and I want it to downshift. Not a lot of the time, but when it does, it pisses me off so bad. I’m looking forward to trying out a Pedal Commander. Maybe I can actually get some response. Should be a pleasant surprise!

I'm going back and forth on a pedal response device and a tune not tying to sport out my truck but would like the pedal to be more responsive

drill the bottom of your air box, muffler delete and run lighter wheels you will see a difference nothing dramatic but it works for a little more oomph

The music audio is way too loud and the voice audio is super quiet bruh. Probably fix it in premiere. But great content. Looking at a 2019 classic crew cab right now. Hoping to find a good product for the pedal delay.

The catch can DOES have a plus, although not really in the "PERFORMANCE" ASPECT... It strips MOST of the oil from the air being pulled back into the intake manifold. With the barrel type manifold the oil will tend to form drips (that over time will act./grow like stalactites) at the top of the manifold where it cools and solidifies. Over time they will affect the smooth airflow the manifold was designed for. The rest of them, you are dead on ! The spacer just gives you a place to screw your nitrous nozzle into, if not using nitrous, yeah...you just added a pound of DEAD WEIGHT !

Big wheels/tires eat horse power and MPG like candy

Thanks for the info man i was wondering about those throttlebody spacers n if they helped make any extra power now i know not to waist my money on 1

Big tires for off-road love highway fuel economy ,down acceleration down and tire noise up it al depends on what you are doing still upgrade motor for off-road use

Ram1500 4x4 5.7L (3.21) I definitely lost speed with my 35x12.50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Sucks but ok since I use it for the Beaches, Snow, Mountains, Deserts. (San Diego)

Thanks for the info bro. Was a little surprised about the spacer, saved me $100.

IF YOU WANT YOUR DODGE TRUCK HEMI TO SOUND GOOD GET A FLOWMASTER MADE FOR IT. IT SOUNDS VERY NICE NEW OUT OF THE BOX..AND THE DEEP RUMBLE GOING DOWN COUNTRY ROADS LETS DEER, DOGS, AND KIDS KNOW YOU ARE COMING SO THEY CAN GET OUT OF THE ROAD. MINE ON MY 2013 RAM 1500 WITH A 5.7 COULD BE HEARD EASILY FROM OVER 1/2 MILE AWAY AT SPEED..AND FURTHER AWAY AT LOWER SPEEDS. NO DODGE TRUCK I HAVE EVER OWNED WITH A DODGE ENGINE COULD BE HEARD 1/2 TO A MILE AWAY THUS PREVENTING DEER STRIKES AND WRECKING A NICE TRUCK..THE ONLY TRUCK I HAD THAT DID CLAIM 2 DEER WAS A 89 RAM CHARGER W/ A 318 CARBERATED ENGINE AND DUALS WITH A FLOWMASTER..BUT I WAS GOING AT 90MPH AND TURNED 2 DEER IN 2 DAYS STRAIGHT INTO A BLOODSTAIN ON BOTH THE HIWAY AND MY TRUCK. NOT EVEN A CARCASS SURVIVED THE STRIKES. MY JANITORIAL STAFF THAT WERE SENT OUT BY MY BOSS TO WASH MY TRUCK WERE NOT IMPRESSED..LOL..WE HAD VIP'S VISITING OUR FACILITY THESE 2 DAYS.THE POOR RAM CHARGER LOOKED LIKE IT HAD HIT A 55 GALLON DRUM FILLED WITH BLOOD..BUT OTHER THAN THAT HAD NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH ON IT NOR ANY DAMAGE WHAT SO EVER..ON DAY 3 INSTEAD OF DEER IT WAS A 3000 POUND BRAHMA BULL FOR HIM I HIT THE DITCHES AND WENT AROUND..

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on KZfaq in terms of debunking myths around popular mods. Good info, didn’t develop much on the whys and becauses, but the info is spot-on. I would only add that people put wheels and tires for looks, if someone is doing it for performance they are not the brightest

I gained 100hp from my nitrous express spacer 😏

I had 24 inch Dubs wrapped in 305 35s on my 2014 ecodiesel.. looked great but lost literally 5mpgs .. good thing that truck had great gas mileage to begin with...

Catch cam is not for performance, it’s to keep oil out of your intake and intake runners. You’ll end up with excessive carbon when it burns up.

How about this if you want your RAM to be a dependable vehicle DON'T DO ANY MODS!! If you want it to break or run inconsistently and you like working on your vehicles go ahead mod it up!!

If a catch can was so important it would be on when it rolled off the factory line

When did a catch can become a performance mod? It's just meant to keep dirty oil from getting into the intake and causing carbon buildup or other issues. It's far from being the worst thing you can do to an engine.

Actually with no resognators it does make a difference, way raspier but I had long tube headers and a y pipe before cutting them out. Day and night difference. I kept the stock rear exhaust from after the new y pipe section.

Deleting your resonators AFTER you've changed your pipe(s).....BIG difference

Pedal commander used with 93 tune will get you close to 22mpg highway and city. Truck likes to be under load for some reason. Going uphill in throttle even with a trailer....22 average mpg. I think I hold some kind of record 😂😂

I couldn't agree more with the list of things you mentioned, however i like that wistle type noise the throttle body spacer makes and maybe it's all in my head, but it seems like my gas pedal is more responsive. Idk , but i no longer have my ram but and do miss it . i love the new ones but little low on funds at this time.

An oil catch can much as it's name implies, catches oil. All of the supercharged 6.2's have fully baffled valve covers with separators built into them. The 5.7's and 392's have nothing. All of the oil you don't catch just goes into your dry intake manifold and lays there and gets sticky and attracts dirt. I have a catch can on my 392 in my Challenger it's been on there since a few thousand miles. I pull six or more ounces of oil out of that can between oil changes. That's oil that would be laying in the intake manifold. In the 6.1's they have a massive recess in the bottom and I've seen it turn into an oil lagoon on engines without a can. Do you absolutely have to run one? No obviously over time most of that oil will just coat the whole inside of the intake and make it's way into the top side of the cylinders. Lots of companies do realize how important it is to keep oil out of the intake. Mercedes for example has a factory centrifugal oil separator on most of their motors that spins the oil out of the air and drains the oil back into the engine and sends the air back into the intake.

I will have to say, the catch can is actually an excellent mod to have, after 75-100k miles take off your throttle body and intake manifold and look at the sludge build up on it, think about where that goes... that’s all going into the top end.. I put one on my Hemi and cleaned my intake manifold and installed a bbk throttle body and I know it’s reducing the sludge because most of it is in the can... for 60-110$ I don’t think it’s a bad mod. Great video though!

Now granted a resonator delete does nothing for performance, but if you honestly can’t hear that the but deleting the resonators, the exhaust is much more harsh sounding, than you should consider hearing aids. Personally I don’t like the harshness of a resonator delete, but I can hear the difference as clear as day. Just me. Maybe it’s better for you that you can’t tell.

A catch can is not a waste of money and it's not a performance mod, it's a disaster saving mod. It's not a waste of money, it's for cleaning the deposits.

My Dodge ram is cammed and I've got a glasspack so it is one hell of a screamer

Muffler delete makes it sound the way it should from factory

The catch can isnt for performance it's about keeping your engine cleaner. if you get a new vehicle every time you pay it off sure a catch can is not going to do anything for you. If you plan on keeping the vehicle for an extended period of time that is where it shines.

I bought a peddle commander from a friend for $150 and I love it! The peddle response is amazing and it is proven to decrease your 1/4 mile time by two tenths.

Best mod for the ram... Whipple

Who buys a truck to race. Big tires, off road, fuck yeah. If i wanna go fast ill drive my srt

I use the auto mind tuner from Banks sport program and my fuel mileage went from 9 to 16 miles per gallon
