Need Power

I have a 2009 Ram 1500 with a 4.7L V-8 and have been very underwhelmed with the power and pickup of this engine. I'm tempted to trade back for a Hemi unless I can find a better and cheaper way to boost the power. I've thought about chips, supercharger and turbo and would welcome any other thoughts on the issue. Thanks.

Trade it back in for one with a 5.7L. With what you would need to bolt on, you'd lose your warranty for sure.

Before you totaly toast that magnum I saw a episode on "Two guys Garage" awhile back and they talked about beafing up the 4.7 in a Ram I dont remember the specifics but they changed the air intake, modified the exhaust, and re-mapped the computer. Sure looked good on TV. So I'm not blowing wind here I'm trying to find that episode if/when I do I'll be back.
