I've got an M1 intake manifold, Harland Sharp 1.7 Roller rockers, Mopar PCM (Since you have a 98 I would go SCT tuner), 3" exhaust with Aero Turbine 3030 muffler and a 50mm ported throttle body. It's a big difference over stock. About the only other bolt on left is headers..

Your TB spacer isn't doing anything BTW...

If you really want to make good power, get an M1 intake manifold, some 1.7 RR's, a cam, and a SCT or superchips, LT headers to true duals. Maybe build up that tranny a little and get a shift kit.

Just a few things to think about...

Goes to see on my thread "upgrade by Hughes Engines
It's for V6

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...s-engines.html

Otherwise you can send an email to HE to ask for what he advises you, they are fast to answer.

i have a brand new transgo shift kit # TF0D-HD2 that got put in, but the shift solenoids were bad in the valve body, caused the tranny to slip in between gears, blew the front seal out and smoked the tranny. But the tranny was doin all this before the shift kit. A really nice luxury for anyone wanting this would be the simplicity to install on their auto tranny. Since the kit is all about modifying the valve body springs and such, this ones already installed, just needs someone to swap out the solenoids for good ones, and your ready to go! Actually i have a whole 46RE tranny for sale if anybody wants one, needs to be gone through though, but it has a brand new shift kit with about 1 mi woth of run on it!

Just saying what I've done to my truck so far and IMO, it's worth it.
