Performance FAQ - Input Needed by bdoyle733

Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and just picked up my first Magnum (2007 RT AWD 5.7liter Hemi) and am trying to plan my upgrades. I built a spreadsheet that I think would be a huge help to all newbies, perhaps as a FAQ. Anyone with experience or knowledge with these upgrades who can contribute would help us all.
It looks like you can get around 500hp for about $3,000 before even thinking about a supercharger.
 
The basic mods I found were:
 
Custom Fit Ignition Wire Set (15 hp, $150)
MSD Blaster Coils (? hp, $500)
Cold air intake (14 hp, $300)
FLASH Chip/PROGRAMMER (20 hp, $500)
Aft-Cat™ Exhaust (20 hp, $760)
Performance Headers & Exhaust (24 hp, $550)
cat Mid-pipe (n/a, $450)
UnderDrive Pulley Kit (12 hp, $230)
Cam/Spring/Pushrods Kits (60 hp, $525)
Torque Converter (N|A, $400)
Transmission Cooler (N\A, $100)
Suspension upgrade ($1100)
 
I'm looking for input on:
- Install Order (What has to go first and what gives the biggest HP gain for the buck)
- install hrs (how many hours to install if I take it to a speedshop or mechanic)
- hp gain
- Fuel efficiency gain
- Approx Cost (Hardware only)
- does it Void the Warrenty?
- Recommendation Best Value
- Recommendation Best performance (regardless of cost)

Hello bdoyle and welcome to the forum. I am a fairly new owner of a 2005 Magnum RT purchased with only 15,234 miles on it. I have had it for a little over 2 months and I am thinking of some upgrade also. As a stock Hemi, it is extremely quick, but we all want to go faster. My budget is tight right now, and as for starters, I am going with a CAI first. I was thinking of buying one from Mopar, just to keep my warranty in check. I like the additions that you are thinking of making and I am going to copy them down for future references. I will also be watching for more help from the forum and people who are more knowledgeable than I am. Good luck and a good post.

I put an AFE CAI in my 2005 R/T AWD. I can't feel a difference in horsepower, supposedly it gives an extra 10hp, but the sound is real cool at full throttle!

Hey bbfd86, that's good to know. I have been pricing CAI's for a week or so. They all claim to give you 8-10 more horsepower, but if you don't dyno it, I guess you really can't tell. But you said it gives a more throatier sound, well then it might been worth the price until I can afford a nice cat back muffler system

I am looking to buy used 17" rims for winter tires and was wondering what other vehicles have rims that would fit my 2008 Dodge Magnum. I was also wondering what type of trailer hitch would work best on it (preferrably 1 1/4")

sxt 20" wheels? by donnj

I am curious, has anyone put 20" wheels on a '05 sxt all-wheel drive? I have had different answers from many sources, including Tire Rack, Summit, and local tire stores. I want to use the American Racing Torque Thrust wheel and don't know what brands tires yet. Thanks.
