In the pursuit of piecing together the perfect daily driver, many of us allow the end goal to control the course of the build. We get so caught up in the final horsepower number that we neglect to realize how well the truck performs after incremental yet completely necessary mods have been made. Not so for Jake Bosie and his ’12 Ram 2500. In the midst of making the necessary foundational upgrades that would help his fourth-gen support 700-750 hp, he took stock of the setup he’d already come up with: a dyno -proven 576hp, 1,166 lb-ft everyday driver. Though not perfect, so far it’s gotten him to work, towed anything he’s asked it to, and even played on the street. Most impressive, over the course of the past three years the factory 68RFE hasn’t skipped a beat.
