Where to begin?

[SnowgodCCR]

I just got my 300C on friday, and I'm already looking to scratch that mod-itch. I'm just wondering where the best place to begin with the 5.7 is? I'm thinking a new intake, but I've never really had a choice of intakes before (former Saab owner here) and don't know which one to pick now. Who can reccomend a good intake or other good place to start for me? Not looking to spend alot of money here yet, good and effective mods for under $350 would be appreciated. Thanks!

stick with the stock intake for now. it already draws cold air from the fender. go with an exhaust kit or some 22's and lowering springs. for $350, get a predator tuner

Uhhh...No. I'm a wee bit on the anti-bling side. 20" SRT wheels are in the plans. Anything bigger isn't available in a finish other than chrome for starters...

Now that sounds like a plan.

Best bang for your buck, but a bit over $350, would be a Superchips flashpaq or Diablo Predator tuner. I have the flashpaq which up until now was the only game in town, and I'm extremely happy with it - - so much so that I bought another for my '07 Ram Hemi. It will make your transmission work like it should have in the first place, and add some throttle response and a little horsepower as well. I know nothing about the Diablo Sport Predator (other than it will work on the SRT8 and the flashpaq will not) but there are already several threads about it in the forums.

Fellow Hemi Driver's,

I am closeing in on the deal for my 05 300 C tomorrow. I am a Porsche 928 S4 guy jumping ship on the Porsche and going for the Hemi. My 928 is Super Charged and I am a big fan of this and will want to SC my 300. Can some of you fill me in on how this is working for you and have there been any problems. After owing a Porsche the price for the SC installed from T Byrne Motorsports does not seem all that bad to me. Also with this in mind are there other steps to take before I SC?
