Hey everyone im new here my name luke im from victoria BC Canada i bought a 1998 dodge dakota v6 4x4 recently and i was wondering what i could do to up the horse power i already have exhaust on it new flowmaster catback. im interested in seeing if i can supercharge it aswell

pics of the truck here

please give your opinion and any tips

Thanks luke !

 

Cheapest horsepower is and always will be more cubic inches. A v6 is not for power, and not even mileage in these trucks. Drop in a 5.2 or 5.9 if you want power.

 

I disagree. There are many ways to get power out of a V6.

Not everyone has a few thousand dollars to drop on a big block. Not to mention everything else that would have to be swapped to make a big block work in that truck...

 

Do you know what kind of wheels those are?

 

they are no longer made anymore but they are black powdercoated 17 inch panther wheels called emr 187 ... but so what do you think would be two more upgrades i can do to it next i already have an intake and exhaust. maybe remove the cat? or will it sound like **** if i do that ? maybe throttle body spacer?

 

hiflow cat, and never get a TB spacer. you can superchip it.

 

there might be a way with some serious modification of bracketry to get one of the big 3 centrifugal superchargers to work on the 3.9, it is essentially a 5.2 anyway.

 

You can get a V8 TB, really opens it up over 3000rpm. Im so glad I did mine I got 2 extras lol. Just be sure you get a V8 throttle cable too. TB spacers are just a paper weight on our motors.

 

i heard that chipping isnt smart ? i think ill do a highflow cat forsure

 

i ve got a superchip and i know alot of other ppl on here have them aswell w/o any problems, just stay away from jetchips. superchips can only do good for more power. plus if you got a s/c you would probably need to get the SCT tuner. not positive about that but, chips=good.
