Default Durango Performance 5.9



Hello all,

I am new to the forum and have a few questions regarding adding additinal performance to my new Dodge. I have purchased a 00 Durango 5.9 SLT.
I have been a tech for off and on 15 years. I have done some digiin and found a few hit and miss mods that may add power to my ridde but looking for something a bit more organized. If you or anyone you know has any advise for adding performance to a 5.9 liter engine please let me know. I am going to start with the obvious stuff fisrt like Exhaust air induction and possibly a chip or tuner. Any brand suggestion or ways to proceed with the most bang for the buck would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Try cat back MagnaFlow. Other people like others but it is a performance.
K&N CIA is good.
I like the Hypertec P3 and SuperChip if you plan on doing no internal modifications. If so http://www.bgchrysler.com/ for a custom tune after build.
