Modding

I am interested in getting a 12v ram and I WANT to get 700hp and 1000+lbs-ft of torque. Please list what mods I would have to do, and roughly how much it would cost to do it. What would I need to do so the rest of the truck can handle the power?

Read this thread:

The Ultimate Horsepower List

Where did you arrive at your Hp and torque values you want to achieve? Have you ever driven a 700 hp truck? Have you driven a 400 hp truck? I'm not picking on you, but you don't offer up enough information to really help.

400 hp and 1000 ft/lbs torque is not hard to hit, however 700 hp will cost a substantial ammount of money.

700hp is not a daily driver. It will also cost a lot of money and a lot of time out of the house. It can be done, but I bet it's not as easy and driveable as you think.

I think a 6x8 single axle utility trailer with 36" cut riding mower will be about at the limit.

Your questions are near meaningless. Post what it is you want to do with the truck and we will help. Do you want to tow a 5,000 lb trailer or 20,000 lb gooseneck? Will you be towing in flat terrain or going up and down mountains? If you want to haul heavy, save yourself a lot of cash and buy a used class 8 Volvo instead.
