Default just bought a dakota got a few mod ?'s

I just bought an 04 Dodge dakota cc v8 5 speed 3.55 rear gear. It has a CAI on it and i have high flow cats and dynomax race bullets ready to go for an install. My question is what other mods like throtttle body spacers and TB's them selves are the best and what kind of power gains am i lookin at. Programmers and everything i'm lookin to spend about $1000. I will go as far as cams but i would like to know what is recommended and about what king of performance are we talkin.. Thanks for the newbie.

Well I dont have a V8 but I do know that the TB spacers are worthless. They are a waste of money.

Which V8 do you have? Thats important info ya know

if it's an 04 he's got a 4.7. For starters, replace the stock y-pipe with a custom made one from an exhaust shop and you've already got your muffler setup so you're ok there. The y-pipe is very restrictive on the 4.7 and either gut or cut off the 3rd cat. After that I would probably make your own CAI with a k&n type filter. You would probably have about 700$ left to play with after this. I would then get a superchips tuner and 212 cams from KRC.

Im not sure on this but I don't think there is a superchips for 04.

Just check before you buy.

Chris

EDIT: checked but looks like 04 got the boot...

just stating the obvious, dont rip me to shreds not being a racial dirtbag, but look at your keyboards and notice where the "B" is.. right next to the "N"... most likely a typo on a moderators end
