Hey guys, I'm new on here. I just picked up my 1996 Dakota a couple weeks ago. It's got the 5.2 v8, but it feels like it's hiding. Any tips on some simple HP upgrades that wont disintegrate my wallet?

 

There are some. The FAQ2 has them all listed.

 

Harland sharp non adjustable 1.7 roller rocker arms.

SCT tuner.

M1 intake manifold.

Headers, 3" exhaust with aftermarket muffler of your choice (I highly recomend Aero Turbine mufflers).

14" round air cleaner.

50mm throttle body.

That's all the easy stuff.
