They had a sale for 2 for 4$ on tireshine and my tires looked like crap. got it and it worked awesome! Accidently oversprayed on my rims and dirt came off like a breeze. Next thing I knew I was using this stuff everywhere. When I did my plenum plate, water pump, timing chain, E-fan, valve covers, and serpentine belt I could stand in the engine bay and easily clean everything. I brought over friends and was showing them all my mods when it was finished and I had a 30pack beer, 4 rolls of paper towels and 2 bottles of tire shine. Done and Done.

Don' saran wrap it. You might get static electricity...not good. Just stick with a plastic shopping bag and you'll be good to go.

Alright plastic bag it is. And thanks for the link Laramie. Ive already read that whole thread. I should be OK to do the install, im only 17 but I have a firm understanding of motors and have been wrenching on anything with a motor since I was 12. Do you guys think that with a Flowmaster 44, K&N drop in filter, sct tuner from Hemifever, and Harland Sharp roller rockers would give my truck a nice kick in the ***? Headers may also be thrown in there too.

Thanks
-Jared

Need to address the restriction at in the Y-pipe at that cat before exhaust mods will do ya much good.

Aside from that, everything else sounds like a good plan.

Thanks. i would probably get that y pipe instead of headers since that would free it up. I forgot to mention I already have the Chrysler 9.25 posi with a decent 3.9:1 gear ratio from the factory. Seems to be holding up fine and I dont think one tire ahs ever spun alone. hopefully these mods will do me good.
