well your going to learn fast that having a 95 sucks a little bit because of the OB1 computer and tuning is a littl harder..

but you can do thing like

a 50mm tb
1.7roller rockers or ( cam then tuning becomes a prob)
exhaust
under drive pullys
e fans
14x3 roller air cleaner seat up
kegger mod
good tune up plugs 8.mm wire good cap and rotor

really it all about how much $$$ you want would the spend and how much power you want

oh yea 390 stoker kit

Hope you have lots of cash. The 318 isn't really a good platform for that level of modification.

Oh Pfft. None of the magnum motors have a chance in hell at running boost on stock internals. If you make a ballsy move up to forged components, your still only going to be looking at 2-3 PSI of boost and that's all. Now, that's going to be a considerable amount of increase in HP, but would it be worth the overall cost?
You want power? Look into a gear change before you do anything else. Running stock sized tires and a 4.56:1 ratio will amaze you.

If it were me, I would look into building a 408, and leaving it at that. Sheesh, these trucks are heavy, and the motor that's in them is a design left over from the 60's. Be happy they do what they do.

Oh now, I wouldn't have gone that far.

you want speed, buy a charger or challenger. We are Dodge enthusiasts for a reason....

first question is how much money do you want to spend?
