Default what should i order for performance

SOOOOO

Im debating on what to order to give my truck some more horsepower.

I can order the superchips or fastmans throttle body or harland sharp rockers

What are the horsepower gains on them. What would be better for the money.



Could ordering something else be worth the money. Like edelbrock intake or heads??

Every one of those items would yield good threads by doing a search.

i noitced a big jump down low power with the rockers i would say that 1st and the superchips too because our truck are very de-tuned from the factory and if you have death flash then it really not running its full potential at ALL

when i was shopping around for the hs 1.7 rr i read gains from 20-40 horsepower on the magnum engines, but im assuming thats from the flywheel, not at the wheel. then again, when any kind of company says anything about their product producing horsepower, its always going to be from the flywheel.

The dynos I've read are 10-15 RWHP from the 1.7s... The biggest SINGLE gain I've felt so far is the Mopar PCM but of course it was installed last so it had all the other parts to work with too, so...
