That's the vehicle plus how much weight it can hold in the bed. As for mods and what they'll run I'd suggest the 1 7/8" American Racing Headers and they're right at $1200 ordered direct from ARH. Next I would say a nice cam like the Texas-speed.com 228R. The kit with pushrods and dual springs is just under $700. You might want to think about a roller rocker and Yella Terra is making a Ultra Light shaft mount set for $450 and you can get them from Veneance Racing or many other places. After all that you'll want a full custom tune and you can get that at many places for under $500.

Pushing 1k HP? Almost every setup I've seen over 500rwhp has had roller rockers and all the big name shops pushing close to 1k are running the Jesel shaft mounts. Will they work? SURE! Would I want them in an engine making 1khp...HELL NO!

I was pushing 600rwhp and ran stock rockers...and this was my daily driver with WOT runs every day. Zero issues. As Luke mentioned, too many guys making big power run/ran stock rockers. The money is better spent elsewhere. They aren't a weak point.

You don't think they cause too much valve guide wear when changing to a high lift cam?

Not tryin to fan any fire because I didn't read any past this post..... BUT... I made well over 500 on stock rockers on a bunch of spray (aftermarket cam, pushrods and springs)..... And high 600tq on patches.... Soooooo sayin rockers are needed is kind of a personal choice... Larry hit me up, we can swing over to Sean Freese's shop or Dallas Performance and they can give you a realistic expectation of how to hurt those dodge kids

Maybe the big name shops you're familiar with...others that we're all familiar with don't.

In fact I think it's safe to say that there have been more failures reported of roller rockers on high hp applications than with stock rockers.

I'm not trying to start an argument either, but there are multiple members here that have only run stock rockers in some very high hp applications with absolutely zero issues.
