Just search. There is no way of answering this question. Power mods are covered here all the time.

FYI, the above link is to LA engine parts which can not be used without serious modifications to the block.

Not sure if they have the same items in a kit form for the Magnum but here is the link to 5.2/5.9 parts

Link below lists how various bolt on items affected my Indy's 1/4m ets. May or may not see the same gains on the 1/4m depending on trucks configuration & motor but it shows what works best & couple things to clearly avoid.
You dont want anything from JET and dont waste money on tb spacers. Neither will improve performance.

Sorry OT.

motorbrreath I notice in your sig your running the same rig I am. My question to you is about the Pacesetter lngtubes. How'd you do that? When I called Pacesetter they told me the longtubes wont fit a '95 2500 4X4 w/ 360. Please advise. I would sell my soul to figure out how to pull that off.

Right no one makes a chip for your truck but you can get a tuner for it.... who makes it you ask SCT is what your looking for and you want to contact Hemifever...google it and get his email I think its 275 a canned tune and 375 for custom. I dont have it yet, though it will be a soon added addition and many people on here do and they can tell you more.

im pretty sure i got em off ebay, they fit perfectly, and said they were designed for the 360. the only problem i ran into was the driver header was a little too close to the front driveshaft but it works.
