First off......welcome! I personally went with a Mopar CAI as my first mod in the interest of cost. The verdict is still out on whether it added real world results....but you've also got cat back exhausts to look at, headers (probably most expensive), and a choice between either a jet chip or Superchips flashpaq.

First of all, welcome bro. You found the best charger site on the net!!!
If money isnt an issue for you, i would go with the cat back exhust first bro. Prices range from $400 to $1200. Will give your R/T that raw look with the FAT dual exhaust pipes out the back, and will really give your charger some MUSCLE. Not only with HP, but that vicious roar that i think every charger should sound like. VROOOOOOOMMMM!!! :D Just my opinion. Thats what i would do.
al rato!!!

Welcome bc5301, I hope you enjoy the forum. I'm learning as I'm going so I really don't know what's best, but I bought the tuner first, then a catback. I don't know if there is any one thing bolt on that will give you tons of HP. Good luck.

Welcome to the forum bc5301. I agree with all of the above. On the CAI... I was checking out the K&N site and found that for more power, go with the black plastic tube over a stainless or aluminum piece. The hp increase is supposed to be double account the metal tube absorbes more engine heat so the air is warmed a little more. If you are more into looks, go with the metal tube. I have the black and it's not as classy looking. Catbacks definately give the sound. I went with JBA for the 2 1/2 inch stainless pipes and 4 inch tips, 2 mufflers and 60 pound weight reduction. I got mine off eBay for $459. Leaned towards the Magnaflow but went the less expensive route. Haven't decided on the super chips yet. I think the best bet is the hand held programable one. No warranty problems since you can put the settings back to factory. I'm going with the Mopar performance long tube headers when I have the cash. About $1200 and include new cats and do not void the warranty.
