Whipple SC and fiberglass hood

[DLB_Ram]

Hi Ram members

Probably should have posted in the new members forums about 7 months ago to introduce myself but better late than never. I acquired my first Ram 1500 limited in Feb and have already started knowing with some accessories like the 22 inch wheels and bed extender. Now I’m taking it a bit further with a Whipple SC/ Magnaflow exhaust and have just ordered a fiberglass Ram performance replica hood made by Amerihood. I am certain about the Whipple and the Magna flow but I’m unsure about the fiberglass hood. I’ve read good reviews but thought I would see what everyone on this forum had to say. Whipple should be completed in about a week and I’ll make sure to post pictures and upload a video. Thoughts everyone?

Can't wait to see pics, dyno graphs, and/or ETs

Yeah I’m looking forward to your update.

I don't have any experience with those hoods; but they do look good. I'm really here just to stay updated on the Whipple install and results.

They have started removing the Manifold and installing the lower pieces. I took a picture of the engine bay and forgot to take a pic of the whole truck. So I have an pic of the truck before it went to the shop.

I gotcha I’ll definitely keep everybody updated.

Did they do a dyno baseline prior to the install?

I’ve been tempted to get the rebel hood for my limited but now I’m curious what that one will look like. Can’t wait to see your results!

Hell yeah, going to be a killer build. Any idea what the underside of that hood looks like? Functional scoop?

 

[ksn240]

I’ve been looking at that hood myself. It does have a functional scoop and looks sweet.

Those are two different hoods. Which one did you get?

 

[Diamondback]

I'm looking into a roots style as well .. PM me what kit you got so I can compare to my notes ? ?

Brilliant, can't wait for your results.
Think the hood looks great, might be better with OEM 1500 badges on side rather than those circled in red on the photo though.

Was just reading thread about Mopar Ram Air and noticed a link to low down concept with almost identical hood:

We Get A Close Look At The Ram 1500 Big Horn "Low Down" Concept:

This past weekend, we got a chance to attend the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) Design Cars + Coffee event at the former Walter P. Chrysler Museum grounds. The FCA Design team brought out five vehicles from its specialty vehicle collection. One of those vehicles was the 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn...

Nice !!!! I had a whipple sc 2015 tahoe putting out 710 hp built from Mad Industries for Sema !!! Can't wait to see this if it gets done !

 

[TheMadDutchDude]

Very interested from an outsider looking in sort of view! I can’t fathom doing this to my motor just yet... but you never know about the future.

Can I be cheeky and ask a rough ballpark price for the whole Whipple/installation procedure? I don’t want to ask for exact numbers... but a rough guide would be awesome.

The one I looked at was roughly US $10k .. I also looked at the Procharger which was less than US $8k.
I'm waiting for the OP to lemme know what he got so I can look into that one .. My local parts department isn't able to get the Hellcat version to keep the rig under warranty
