I'm about to do the APPS, but I may have found one reason why it's been kinda sluggish, my pedal was floppy. I could move it about 2-3 inches. So I pushed it up and zip tied it into place, it did make a slight difference.

I did the same thing to my lifted 01 Ram 2500 gasser and it helped.

I took a zip tie, wrapped it around the upper half of the pedal, pushed the pedal up all the way and pushed the wire under the tie and tightened it down. Major difference. Feels way better. Seems to be common on Dodges

Well guys, idk if it's just me, but it reall does feel better. She takes off somewhat quicker and slightly put me back a bit.
Thanks for all your input!
I'm for sure sticking to this site!

appreciate it man.
and not completely, i think its just partial to the fact that she's got some power waiting to be unlocked.

what are your thoughts on the Quadzilla Adrenaline Pulse V2? thats the programmer im looking into getting.

There's not much done to my truck, 4" turbo back, drop in K&N filter and Raptor fuel pump. I know the fuel pump will help with FP issues on higher power settings since it has the adjustable PSI.

Im not a huge fan of quadzilla, if you want a good programmer an edge comp box is what I would spend my money on! exept I plan on spending it on an edge ez because I just want some simple on the fly power when needed, I would junk the K&N since their realy not that great, Once I get the chance Im gonna order a BHAF air filter your set on a upgraded lift pump. But do you have guages on your truck? before you get into the big horse you need guages so you know if something has failed or is going to fail... But make sure your tranny is in good shape or the programmer will eat apart before you can get it fixed and then youll be sittin on the side of the road wait on a tow..

I'm partial to the Quadzilla because of the monitor and 180HP max(not that I'd run my stock tranny that hard), I know Edge has monitors with the "juice box with attitude", but for only $600 for the monitor and tuner its a pretty good deal.
You cant get the comp box with a monitor can you? I feel like i should know this since i work at a truck shop

I don't have any gauges yet, If i get a monitor with the programmer I'll probably still get some just incase! I know i need a FP gauge though. I want ISSPRO EV2 Fuel Pressue, Tranny Temp, and probably boost.
