The 2025 Ram 1500 received a major engine change from its previous 5.7L V8 Hemi. Conforming to the world of improved fueled economy, RAM has changed out their Big Block V8 for Big Power with their new 3.0L Hurricane engine. Similar to what we have see with the Ford Raptor 3.5L EcoBoost and the 3.4L twin turbo Toyota Tundra, RAM has gone the way of twin turbocharging the engine to still achieve power while meeting stricter guidelines. The new 3.0L Inline six cylinder engine produces 420 horsepower with 469 lb/ft of torque compared to the 5.7L V8 making 395hp and 410 lb/ft of torque. This makes the latest RAM 1500 capable of some serious performance on and off-road. Fortunately for us enthusiasts, this means gaining even more power is easily obtainable.
VR Tuned has the most efficient, safe, and reliable way to gain horsepower and torque on the new RAM 1500. Our plug and play tuning box allows you to easily gain 40 horsepower and 57 lb/ft of torque over stock. The German made tuning box plugs into vehicle boost and manifold pressure sensors. This takes over the signal that the ECU sees which then has the ECU deliver appropriate fuel and timing changes based on the boost levels. The custom calibrated maps deliver noticeably more pull and improved acceleration. All engine protection mechanisms are still active so the tuning box is very safe to use. With the increase in torque, towing capacity is improved. Because there is NO change or trace to the ECU, and the tuning box can be simply unplugged,
this modification is completely warranty safe!
The Tuning Box features 7 different map settings which can be controlled via the
Bluetooth app for IOS or Android, or can be selected directly on the box itself. Quick settings for ECO, Sport, and Race can also be set on the app. Besides the dyno test results to show the performance gains, the tuning box was also tested using the Dragy GPS device to show real world gains. This particular truck did the 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in 6.35 seconds. With the tuning box installed and active on MAP 6, the truck gained over a half second running 5.74 seconds. With the same testing procedure, 1/4 mile times went from 14.55 seconds to 13.86 seconds as verified by the Dragy.
