Fix the penum.

Full tune-up.

Harland Sharp 1.7 roller rockers.

Headers, high flow cat, better flowing exhaust.

TUNER!!!!! PM Hemifever on this website, he can set ya right up. 275.00 for a canned tune.

Pretty much the above....If I had to start over fresh on a mag engine...this would be a few things on my list:

Dual E-Fans (FF Dynamics) $300

SCT Tuner by Hemifever $275

1.7 RR's $?

K&N Cold Air Intake $260

Ceramic Coated Headers $ 250

Hughes F1 Air Gap Intake Manifold $600 (top end power)

High Flow Cat, flow 44 muff, duals $400

Ported TB $ Cheap

Hughes Plenum Fix + Full Tune-up + 180 tstat $ ?

All are simple bolt on stuff and will give good results....plenum repair takes more time and effort....8 hr job.

Post them up! The Mopar valve covers are on my list of things to do. My hood just isn't open often enough to justify doing it at the current time.
