Been reading up on the kegger mod, would an intake that has the mod be called a "Kegged Intake", sounds cool. Would there be any gains from doing it to my V6? Iunderstand that the V8 has more power, and therefore more to benefit from it.

 

That's like asking if there is a lose of power if you plug up the throttle body. Yes there are gains in doing the "kegger mod" though the severity of gain will be depended on other factors as well. Basically all you are doing, is clearing more material away to add more air/ air flow to your engine. With addition to adding more fuel, will create more horse power and torque. Though this is the hypothetical. From my research you will see a gain in torque in low rpm, though actual amount is all depended on other applications. If you are looking potential gains for your truck, especially the v6.

I used to have the 3.9L v6, and I find that it isn't really worth the time and investment when compared to swapping to a v8. I have done quite a bit of "hotrodding" to those v6 3.9L they are good but a v8 will be generally better overall, and will probably cost you around a 1000 bucks, with a mild rebuilt on it.

For potential v6 gains:
Removal of the cat or clear the exhaust, maybe install a glasspack muffler. Or swap the headers for the 92-93 headers. They allow more air passage and are better than the other years.
Air intake
180 degree thermostat
electric fan
reduce the weight of these heavy trucks
I found a new timing chain actually helped me quite a bit. "Though that is due to mine having excessive slack and that is the reason for the improvement.

Passed this there is no real reason to work on the v6, versus the v8. If you are thinking a turbo or stroke it, by the time you spent the money and your valuable time a v8 would have been the better bet.

I would not remove the CAT. Replace it maybe, if it is clogged. A cheap laser thermometer can tell you if it is bad. It should be hotter at pipe in the back than it is up front.
The Barrel Intake (looks like a keg cut in half top to bottom) is what I have. If you do it get the Hughes Engines Plenum Kit as the thin sheet metal plenum is steel and the intake is Aluminum so they expand and contract at different rates causing destruction of the gasket allowing oil into the intake making a lot of issues. I had the intake tanked and I tanked the Throttle body and replaced all the sensors in it and the sensors in the intake and the O2 sensor. I changed the crank sensor much later I should have done it sooner. There is a little radiator hose you will need to replace once you have it apart its only a couple dollars and you don't want to have to take off all the stuff you have to replace it later.
The Timing chain on the Magnum (I have a 94V6) were built with no tensioner. There is a TSB to add a tensioner.
Anyway I bought the thing and with the 22 gallon tank I ran out of gas at 175 miles! This was the first time I opened an engine. I did the intake Plenum (there are other kits Hughes gave me lots of help by phone) and I also put in a new TC with tensioner. I got like 385 miles on the next tank of gas.
The thing ran pretty good and now that I have a MT2500 I can adjust and set things like the Injector Syncronization. My dam mechanics were lying to me mine was -5 or something and dipped well below that. Spec says -6 to +6 is OK but get it as close to zero as you can. Some like it +2 or +3. I still have work to do and some things I want to do but that plenum and timing chain change made a lot of difference in how well it ran.

 

DUhhhhhhh OK my bad I looked up kegger mod and now I see I was responding to something that was not the topic. I misunderstood. This is what knowing just enough to be dangerous looks like.
